This Honda vehicle with California plates is parked on the property of Fairview United Methodist Church, 600 W. 6th Street. It probably belongs to the renter of the brick house in the background. I am a Trustee of FUMC and we would like to have the vehicle removed from our parking lot.
Flexepark lot here has no accessible parking
When W 6th St was repaved they left some utility access places (sometimes called "manholes") lower than the street surface. These could easily bend a bicycle wheel and could cause a cyclist to be injured. There are one or more of these in each block in the 500, 600, & 700 blocks. Some are near the north curb and are sometimes (but not always) covered by parked cars, and some are in the westbound driving lane.
There is an incredibly bright flood light at the back entrance of the house (on N Jackson St) the stays on all night. It comes through the window shades and curtains of my bedroom window and all three of my neighbors homes as well. I’m not sure what the regulation is for nuisance lights on private property but it’d be great to have this light to be warmer in color or at least be motion sensored so we can get some rest in between. The homeowner is not open to hearing feedback from the neighbors so sadly, we have to report this way.
brush, vines & branches overhang into street from property at the corner of 8th & Jackson on the Jackson side
There is currently someone parked IN the intersection of 8th and Jackson St & they have been there for several hours.
cart contains unacceptable waste
The small stub of West 10th Street that runs West from Fairview to another short street called Curve Street and runs for one block is a disgusting muddy mess. If you are not going to maintain this street why don't you dig it up and turn it into green space? During the recent rains the City storm water system was so backed up in this location that the entire area completely filled with water (causing water infiltration into the basement of the house I own at 605 North Fairview. The storm sewers are often blocked and the culvert at the bottom of the park is inadequate to handle the water that runs off Ernest Butler Park. The whole situaiton is a mess and largely caused by City mismanagement. Additionally, the City has repeatedly allowed Mr. Goodman to violate City rules and codes and directives and his mess and non-running cars adds to the mix of this mess--once again a case of City mismanagement. This horrible situation has persisted for years. As the owner of 605 N Fairview I am seriously considering hiring an attorney and taking formal legal action against the City for its inattention to its own rules. If the Goodman property were a rental property that I owned I would be getting a complaint notice every other day. Both Matt Murphy (who owns the commercial property which adjoins my house at 605 N Fairview) and I have invested significant money in keeping our properties nice and generally contributing to the uplift of the Near-Westside. Too bad the City is not helping us! My number is 812-322-2050 and I would be interested in hearing if anyone at the City has viewed the situation on this one block section of West 10th Street.
