Identical issue to uReport cases #181052 and #171211. Large stones from corner of retention wall (NW corner of property, Lincoln side and adjacent to the alley) are not professionally set and have a habit of falling down onto the sidewalk. Currently, the fallen stones are not completely blocking foot traffic, but wheelchair/stroller traffic is impeded and the stones pose a dangerous stumbling hazard at night. The property owner should have the wall redone by actual, competent masons so that this doesn't happen again.

A few of the capstones on the retaining wall out front are precariously hanging close to the edge as a result of long-term, hydrological processes. They look like they are about to fall, especially if someone happens to sit on the wall at that place. Owner of this property is the same as 322 E. 12th, the one with the dangerous sidewalk. He is an out-of-state, absentee landlord who doesn't care about the neighborhood or safety in general. If he is going to be required to fix the sidewalk on 12th, please also require him to attend to this retaining wall. One of the capstones has already fallen and broken. Someone just picked it up off the sidewalk and placed it back on top of the wall without mortar.
