I recently purchased a house, but the easement property behind (Duke) has been a debris pit for somebody in the neighborhood. It seems to be mostly leaves on top, but there are also tires & chairs floating inside.The pile is starting to slide into my property. I am not sure what to do, since it is easement property. I would like to eventually put up a fence in the back, but the sliding debris pile would problem ruin any ability to do that. If this department cannot help with this situation, please direct me to a department that can. Rebecca Rice

Property is a shameful site for our community and visitors. There's Trash, probably used needles, mattresses, and an awful infestation of rats. This is an issue that has been ongoing and needs the city's intervention now. Please address this. I'm ashamed to have visors to my hometown.

Absolutely disgusting. Trash, multiple animals, stuff all over the yard, 12 people living there, drugs, kids not going to school. All the neighbors are super upset that have to live near this house.

There was a flood in this house in April of this year. We informed Orion as soon as we discovered that it was flooding. They came and claimed they resolved it by sucking up the water in the basement and dumping it for the sump pump to push it into the city sewer, and they set a dehumidifier that we did not provide. They said this issue was resolved, but there was still obvious water in the dry walls, and they did not address the leak at all. We made the leak abundantly clear. I showed them that I put tape over the leak to try to stop the water from coming in, and they left it there. It is still there to this day. The leak came from the block wall in the basement, and the water streamed throughout the unfinished section as well as into the finished bedroom. The water settled by the drain in the bedroom and the drain in the unfinished section. They saw all of this, and never came back to check for water in the dry wall or baseboards. This is as far as they went with this issue. We received no instructions for how to prevent mold from growing, and there was no concern expressed for this possibility although the pictures show that there was water seeping through the walls. Months later, we have discovered that there is now severe mold growth in the basement. It is on the doors, baseboards, ceilings, and personal items. The most severe portion of the basement affected by the mold is the bedroom. The unfinished section shows obvious signs of a leak in the drop ceiling due to water marks.There is also mold growth on the block wall. The bedroom also has water marks on the ceiling, and the use of a moisture detection device shows that there is moisture in the ceiling likely caused by a leak which was concealed by the drop ceiling. The moisture also reaches up 3 feet in the dry wall in the bedroom. The bathroom was not flooded as severely as the bedroom, so there is less mold growth, but there are still signs of mold in the baseboards where the water ran through to the lowest point which was the drain in the bedroom. By evaluating all of these factors, it is clear that it was not any environment issue that caused mold, rather it was the unresolved leak in the block wall, the leak hidden by the drop ceiling, and the unresolved issues from the flood such as the saturated drywall and baseboards. We would like to have a city code inspector come take a look at this and confirm these statements.

I live at 812 W 2nd St. My next door neighbor lives at 820 W. 2nd St. Her back yard is overgrown and has containers that fill with water. In warm weather these containers breed mosquitos. I can't even go outside in the summer because the mosquitos are so bad. Also, she won't cut her grass along 2nd St. She says it is flowers, but it is weeds. I have seen rats in there. Also it is a traffic hazard because cars turning on to 2nd St. from Euclid St. can't see oncoming traffic. I am also sending a copy of this email to the State Board of Health in Indianapolis.

Overgrown bamboo at 1002 W 6 St and Elm bending into sidewalks and street obstructing traffic. Bird droppings covering the sidewalk. The invasive plant has encroached on neighboring property where we live at 1004, so we are having to engage removal services and eventually install impermeable barriers at our expense. The back yard of 1002 is overgrown also, feral cats, possum and a skunk have been sited or smelled in a fallen shed which has not been cleared out. The Elm Street side of 1002 is full of debris and overgrowth and there is an unattended stagnant water feature where we hear frogs in the summer (which do attract copperhead snakes). Someone does seem to be inhabiting the house, though we know that the owner of the house does not reside in Indiana presently.

This house has been neglected for at least the two years that I have been in the area. There is a tree branch that has fallen into the roof, causing a hole. The branch has been there for over a year and the whole has gotten bigger. The frame of the house near the front window looks 'broken.' It looks like the house is falling to the side. The lawn is completely overgrown. It has had zero attention in two years (plus?). It is out of control. There is a van parked at the house. Every now and then the van will be moved from the driveway to the street in front of the house, but it seems like for the most part the house is abandoned. Sometimes some rather shady people come and go from that area but I don't know if they actually go into the house or not.
