Trash scattered all around out back (by the alley).
Alley is disheveled with holes and vegetation growing through out the entire alley way.
Alley way is in poor condition.
Alley is in poor condition with multiple holes, and eroding.
Alley is no longer paved, has vegetation and grass growing through out the whole alley
It is a light between 310N Dunn Street and 507 E 7th Street
Street lamp is purple. Seems like it's the last one left in the area that is purple. It's the one on the south side of 10th Street and east of Indiana Avenue but west of the alley between Indiana and Fess.
This is about two things. There are bush honeysuckles growing out that are about half-blocking the sidewalk. Just a matter of time before it's completely impossible to pass by. Also, trash bins and mattress are lying by the street in the grassy area, which is also blocking someone who wants/needs to walk that way.
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.
