House is unsecured and falling apart. No one appears to live there.
House is unsecured and falling apart. No one appears to live there.
The gutters and siding of the building are loose and falling off many building. The 545 South Park ridge building is completely unattached from the building causing a 3 story tall drainpipe to swing in slight wind. This is a hazard for anyone walking near the building as it could fall or fly off at any moment. Several other buildings have broken siding that causes nails to fall across the sidewalk and parking lots. This is a hazard!!!!
A part of the old stone retaining wall on the Lincoln side of this lot is just about to collapse. It looks like it's leaning at a 46 degree angle. If anyone is sitting on it or just walking by when it does fall, someone is going to get sued.
This apartment is covered in trash. People do not clean up after their dogs, they throw trash into the grass and gardens. There is trash piling up outside their doors, and outside the dumpsters.
Large amounts of trash in the woods between reserve and knight ridge apartments.
This bag just showed up one day. I can't physically move it by myself, but I think it's on the city's right of way. I'm not sure so that's why I'm filling this out. It's on Watson and Bryan. Pic attached. I tried moving it, but I think it's filled with concrete or sand? It's been there for months. I would move it myself if I could, but it looks like people passing by are now throwing trash into it.
We bought a house with HAND assistance at 1400 S. Palmer. The Dunn Hill painted houses are one block to the east. The 1300 block and 1400 block of South Palmer are well maintained residences, some owner-occupied, some rental. Now, I pay a lot of taxes for my house and yard. A lot. And I hope to see some benefit from doing that in terms of the trash problems at 1316 and 1317 South Palmer. Both residences bring down my property value immensely. They are total trash dumps. I collect trash from the street every week and the trash pickup. It's 99% things that people throw from their cars or just walking by. But those two places simply generate their own trash. I pick it up. But I'm tired of picking it up. I need some help. These two places sit opposite each other. The one of the west of the street is some kind of used car business. This would not be allowed on Dunn Street, just a block away. The place on the east of the street, they never deal with their trash, trash, junk, you name it. Please help.
This lot is full of waste. Trash, matresses, clothing. The whole area is a mess.
Glass front porch door hanging off hinges and is potential projectile with high winds/storms. Also porch roof has many loose shingles and gutters are hanging- again potential projectiles to nearby houses, businesses, street and pedestrians.
