Unsafe Buildings

A large front window on this home has been busted. This makes Grant Street Inn guests and people in the neighborhood feel unsafe.
A large front window on this home has been busted. This makes Grant Street Inn guests and people in the neighborhood feel unsafe.
Construction going on in back yard. No permit posted in an obvious place. Large excavation done against foundation. No supports in place and pit is dark at night. Drunks could fall in at night.
Top course of stone on retaining wall being forced off by progressive yard expansion. One section has already fallen, blocking sidewalk and creating a hazard for pedestrians in the dark.
A few of the capstones on the retaining wall out front are precariously hanging close to the edge as a result of long-term, hydrological processes. They look like they are about to fall, especially if someone happens to sit on the wall at that place. Owner of this property is the same as 322 E. 12th, the one with the dangerous sidewalk. He is an out-of-state, absentee landlord who doesn't care about the neighborhood or safety in general. If he is going to be required to fix the sidewalk on 12th, please also require him to attend to this retaining wall. One of the capstones has already fallen and broken. Someone just picked it up off the sidewalk and placed it back on top of the wall without mortar.
See case #188200. The section of the retaining wall along Lincoln is getting worse and it looks like it could fall any minute. Has anyone actually gone out to look at this? Why wait until it collapses before doing something about it?
Not sure how to categorize this. Utility pole at NW corner or property is leaning east about 20 degrees off vertical with guy wires. Utility lines are hanging low enough to clip a very tall person or a truck.
Overflowing trash on drive off of 8th street behind property. Trash has not been taken out for three straight weeks.
Trash has not been taken out for awhile as I've noticed on my morning walks. Today, I noticed the trash has been picked through by an animal. I took a photo to upload, but I get an error message when trying to upload it.
Trash on property and across the street.
Trash from 422-424 in scattered everywhere.
