Overgrown yard, hazardous material dumped in the yard from renovations. Nails, insulations and other materials
Our dumpster is frequently overflowing and is not taken out on a regular enough schedule. There is often trash spread all over the yard around the dumpster, animals getting in the trash and scattering it, and food/animal waste all over the ground around the dumpster. I have asked our property to increase the amount of times the dumpster is emptied, specifically around this time of year, but they do not act on those requests and this continues to happen throughout the year.
For two weeks now, the only dumpster at Town and Country, managed by Distinct Management, has been stuffed and overflowing. The only time in those two weeks that the trash has been removed was this Monday, and even then the debris surrounding the dumpster had been left to sit and rot. Cones had been placed to tell people to not put trash in front of the dumpster, and the signs were worn down in just a couple of days. Now the cones have been moved away and trash is now blocking the even the dumpster from being able to be emptied by the trash companies. This trash pile-up is attracting a large amount of pests and is making it hard for us to dispose of the waste in our own homes.
pile of tires in back yard are a mosquito breeding ground
Weeds and invasive trees taking over the whole property, and on the north end, spreading onto my property.
Refuse partially blocking sidewalk.
dumpster moved, trash being used by neighboring complex
Trash scattered about on north side of property along 11th Street. Wild animals digging through it.
Property is regularly overgrown with invasive, noxious plants such as tree of heaven. Parker management openly admits that they do not regularly mow or shovel sidewalks for their properties, and will only do so if they receive a complaint. We hope that HAND chooses to issue fines rather than warnings for this company's rentals. They know better, but just choose to disregard responsibility and decency.
Property is so overgrown with invasive, noxious plants along alley that a tree is now leaning and is in contact with electric service wires. Also, utility pole on SE corner of lot has vines growing up near the transformer and just a few feet away from high voltage distribution lines. Property owner has let the entire property degrade so that what was once a good example of 1890s architecture is now a hovel/shack that is an embarrassment for the entire neighborhood.
