Unsafe Buildings
1209 W 11th ST
- Case Date:
- 3/14/2018
913 West 11th Street - corner of Orris and West 11th. This house is unoccupied and has become a dumping ground. There are children that live next door and in close proximity to this building. The trash is dangerous, unhealthy, and an attraction for rats and other disease-ridden creatures. In addition, the building itself is derelict and unsafe.
1212 W. Cottage Grove. There is a For Sale sign on the fence for this...house? Would an inspector *please* do a full inspection of this structure to see if it meets building codes?
1209 West 11th Street This structure is a danger. Several windows are boarded up, the rotten original siding is showing in places, the house is surrounded by debris and the front porch is full of it. If someone is actually living in it, God help them. If someone is, HAND or someone needs to check on the people and the living situation, because they can't possibly be safe and it would be immoral to knowingly allow anyone to live in a house like that.
Cans at the curb.
Trash in back of property. Can be seen from the alleyway.
Trash in the yard.
(see photo) THIS is the yard at 913 W. 11th Street. The owner uses this house for storage and seems to think this neighborhood deserves no better than this heap. The front porch is just as bad. This is more than unsightly. This is a health and safety hazard - there are several children living right next door. PLEASE get this taken care of for the sake of everyone. I will also be contacting Kate Rosenbarger about this.
913 W. 11th is STILL not cleaned up. The overgrowth is STILL not cut back to where the line of site is clear to turn from Orris to 11th. You have warned. You have fined. Now what is the problem? The house is unoccupied and is used by the owner for nothing but storage - or should I say dump. The trash is unsanitary, unhealthy, dangerous to the children living next door, can attract rodents and other disease-ridden animals, and is completely disrespectful to the neighborhood.
It is my plan to develop my 5 lots on N. Oolitic. I can't do that unless I have help with enforcing certain codes. 1209 W. 11th has garbage, rubbish, old lawnmowers, and other detritus stacked on and around the house and property. I actually think the house may be abandoned and is being used as a trash dump. Regardless of the section of town, we property owners don't like our property value destroyed by places like this. Please help us by forcing a clean up. Thank you.
