Trash all over yard
Mary Friedman originally emailed the Office of the Mayor January 14th, 2016 complaining that this property had been abandoned for the last 5 years. At that time coyotes were living in the home. However, she emailed again October 19th, 2016, saying the property is now being occupied by a group of homeless people.
Caller complained that the playground at Country View is in disrepair: grass growing under the equipment, inadequate equipment, etc. I'm not even sure this is city property -- obviously not a Parks & Rec-maintained park. Also complaints about crumbling sidewalks, unpaved parking lots, etc.
There is a growing pile of garbage behind and alongside the house of 501 S. Mitchell. This adjoins a walkway that links two parts of Hunter Ave and it's just above a waterway that feeds into Jordan River. Reporter is concerned about rats and other sanitation issues that could occur if left untreated.
Cover of dumpster missing, trash strewn about vicinity
Frustrated that her recycling wasn't picked up again today -- said her service has been spotty, repeatedly -- and she's called twice today requesting that it be picked up and has had no response.
Mr. Raff spoke with the Mayor at the Farmers Market on Saturday, 10/1. He described ongoing drainage issues on both Rose Ave and his property (704) and that of the adjacent landowner. He stated that the City has been working on the issue for a number of years, but storm water still gets backed up on the property and has lead to a mosquito problem.
Yard overgrown, not mowed this year, snakes coming from yard
Called to report a rat infestation in Kensington/Hyde Park. She has 22 rat holes in her yard alone. Someone from MoCo Public Health came out recently, after Ms. Nephew called that department, and found rat holes on 8 properties across 3 streets, minimally. I suggestd that Ms. Nephew contact both Animal Control and HAND because there's an ongoing issue with her neighbor leaving out birdfeed, debris and composting materials that are likely feeding the rats.
