My wife and I walk our dogs on the trail between Fenbrook Lane and Hoosier Acres and noticed someone had cut down trees south of Homestead Dr. along Meadowbrook Lane. We thought those were City trees.
Poison ivy growing onto the sidewalk between 1114 Nancy St and the property to the north of it
Reports hang up/ don’t submit if you include a photo. They used to be an option to select the photo size, but that is no longer available. Might have something to do with photo size…
There is a large pipe knocked down from the corner of South Rogers Street and Hillside, it is laying on the sidewalk.
There is an encampment to the east of Somersbe along the access road that runs parallel to Rogers Road that is hazardous and toxic. Earlier in the summer this was reported anonymously for fear of retaliation. Apparently 3 entities own the property - the city, county, and a railroad. All that has happened so far to address this problem is a huge dumpster being moved to the access road and MORE people moving to the encampment when Switchyard Park was cleared. I am sending a plea for clean up. I am not representing specific people in the Somersbe neighborhood, but alerting your office to the issues that have been discussed. This morning open fires were burning along the access road. There is garbage, human and animal waste, unleaded dogs, along with illegal camping sites. At the beginning of June 2024 police were called because of a disturbance including threats of murder, and the fire department was called because of all the smoke. Our backyards are no longer safe, it is difficult to sleep with open windows or be in our yards or on our decks because of the smoke, screaming, and safety of being chased. This apparently happened to at least 2 residents this summer. A dumpster does not equate to crisis management. It is difficult to communicate when we have to do it anonymously for fear of retribution. I am not being redundant, I am providing documentation.
The psi coming to the house is reading way too high--a plumber came out and measured the water pressure at 120 psi, which is way too high. According to the plumber, it has been potentially causing several problems in our house recently, including water heater valves to break on our new water heater, dishwasher leaks that led to us replacing the unit, pipes to leak, various faucet problems and damage to several parts of the house. After dealing with HVAC related to this yesterday, this morning we've discovered a leak in our kitchen plumbing that is now causing additional damage to the cabinetry. The plumber reported that high psi measurements are happening all over our end of town due to the city turning up the water pressure to accommodate new development. The city needs to address this issue, as it's posing a risk to so many of the existing homes in the area.
We have no running water in our home as of this morning. My bills are always paid on time, just wanting to know if there is some other issue going on that I should know about. Please contact me as soon a possible. Thank you
For several days there has been water streaming out of the water tank at the corner of the bypass and 17th street. Water has been flowing across the street for several days - I assume someone else has already reported this but submitting this just in case.
Yard is overgrown with grass and weeds and has not been mown in months. House appears to be abandoned.
