Trash
304 N Hopewell ST
- Case Date:
- 11/21/2025
The construction crew working on the house next door is throwing loose trash into our trash can, which I will have to dig out and put in a bag as all items in trash cans need to be bagged. These are the same individuals who moved our trash from from the street before it was picked up and blocked it with their car.
Have informed HAND dozens of times about problems at this property: 1. selling meth 2. building fires on the lawn 3. unhoused sleeping in tents in the yard 4. trash and other hazards. Have called the Police Dept several times with no response and also have been receiving death threats which have been reported to the police.
Caller states this vacant lot has not been mowed for a couple years. Lots of brush too.
There is trash everywhere, blowing everywhere, etc. Thank you for addressing this continuing issue that was not an issue until these units became rented.
The tree in my neighbor's yard at 621 W 4th St has been falling on my yard, limb by limb for over a decade. This time, a limb about 13 inches in diameter and over 10 ft in length fell. a newly planted evergreen tree sustained significant damage. In the past there has been damage to our siding, a gutter and each time has broken things on our porch. I am terrified that a limb will fall on a person or that the whole tree will come down on the back of our house, which is where we sleep. I'm also worried about the cost to replace the over $3000 worth of trees and shrub we have planted in the last 4 years and more importantly the impossibility to replace the growth on all of these. The tree is a dangerous nuisance and I would like to know if the city might urge the owner to at least trim out the dead stuff, if not cut down the whole tree.
There are numerous unhoused people that are loitering in the area throwing trash and garbage in this parking lot which is blowing into our property.
