The house at 810 W. 4th St. is unoccupied, but rented as an Airbnb with regularity. In a neighborhood of modest homes with mostly well-tended yards, it has a front yard that is untended, and a side and backyard that are wildly overgrown, sometimes harboring an urban deer population. The tall grass and weeds in the backyard, along with an abandoned cast-iron tub, contribute to the difficult mosquito problem in the neighborhood. Apparently because there is no home owner nearby, this commercial venture shows little concern for the well-being of the neighborhood. Thank you for your efforts.
Corner of Walker and First: overgrown empty lot. Also, across from there on First, 2 lawns next to each other that seem not to have seen a mower for a while either, one is 1018.
out on west 3rd street at the intersection of 3rd & yancy, there's a vacant business building, & the yard hasn't been mowed yet this year. i think it used to be "B&L communications". as i walk by the front on the public sidewalk, the weeds are up to my waist. one time recently after dark, i could tell there was an animal scurrying around in there, but i couldn't see what it was since it was hidden. felt scary to walk by there, but i have to because of my situation with where i live & work.
E First Street: Vegetation encroaching on the sidewalk between Rose and Eastside Drive. Also, unkempt lawn (again) on 721 Eastside.

Individual at event requested officer to take a look at 1051 N Oolitic for trash, specifically needles to see if there was any clean-up HAND could mandate.
Tony lives at 514 W Davis St. #12 and is calling about a neighboring rental property on the corner of W. Davis St. and S. Rogers St. He doesn't know the exact address, but it's the property right on the corner. The grass and shrubs are overgrown; the property looks unkempt and the overgrowth could harbor snakes and other pests.
There is trash and debris piled behind garage (at alley) and along west side of house at 1018 E University St. The pile behind the garage has been there for many months. I believe the residents have moved out.
house at 1016 w Kirkwood is unsafe. It is unlocked and has a no working refrigerator on the back deck that as of a couple of weeks ago had moldy food in it. Homeless people have been seen coming and going. syringes have also been seen around the property.
