Trash
514 N Lincoln ST

- 11/18/2025
Have informed HAND dozens of times about problems at this property: 1. selling meth 2. building fires on the lawn 3. unhoused sleeping in tents in the yard 4. trash and other hazards. Have called the Police Dept several times with no response and also have been receiving death threats which have been reported to the police.
Caller states this vacant lot has not been mowed for a couple years. Lots of brush too.
There is trash everywhere, blowing everywhere, etc. Thank you for addressing this continuing issue that was not an issue until these units became rented.
The tree in my neighbor's yard at 621 W 4th St has been falling on my yard, limb by limb for over a decade. This time, a limb about 13 inches in diameter and over 10 ft in length fell. a newly planted evergreen tree sustained significant damage. In the past there has been damage to our siding, a gutter and each time has broken things on our porch. I am terrified that a limb will fall on a person or that the whole tree will come down on the back of our house, which is where we sleep. I'm also worried about the cost to replace the over $3000 worth of trees and shrub we have planted in the last 4 years and more importantly the impossibility to replace the growth on all of these. The tree is a dangerous nuisance and I would like to know if the city might urge the owner to at least trim out the dead stuff, if not cut down the whole tree.
There are numerous unhoused people that are loitering in the area throwing trash and garbage in this parking lot which is blowing into our property.
It is frustrating that reports made about trash and couches on porches do not seem to be followed through with. HAND says they do so, but the problems continue. This house, for example - *MOUNDS* of trash are piled up on the west side of the building, and couches remain on the porches all in full view of Runcible Spoon customers. Does HAND issue daily fines that accrue? Or does HAND even issue fines? And if so, does HAND ever actually collect the fines? And if they do, what happens to the money they collect? And if any or all of this happens, are there any records of the fines and their collection statuses viewable by the public? The same issues (trash, couches) are continuing at other addresses in the neighborhood, such as 213 N. Grant and 317 E. 7th, both in view of Grant Street Inn visitors.
Trash receptacles provided by Brawley Properties not sufficient for residents. Brawley is aware of the issue, and trash is blowing throughout the neighborhood, wildlife is digging through the garbage. It’s been going on for weeks. I’ve personally cleaned it up to prevent it from going into my yard, and all the neighbors are frustrated.
This house and yard is a mess it's overgrown and the pine needles are on the sidewalk and the street. The front door looks like it already has two tickets on it .
