We also need to report a serious safety hazard outside our unit, HC 503, at Hoosier Court Apartments. When the leasing company’s maintenance team repaired the water pipeline in front of our porch two months ago, they removed and damaged the steps leading to our entrance. Since then, the steps have not been rebuilt, and the entire front porch area has been left uneven and unsafe. There is still a large hole in front of our unit, and the ground is unstable because of the mud and dirt they dug up but never refilled. Because there are no steps, we have been forced to exit our home through the bushes, which is extremely unsafe, and we have almost slipped multiple times due to the uneven ground. This situation has been ongoing for over two months, and despite informing the leasing office several times, no repairs have been made. The current condition presents a significant tripping and falling hazard, and we are requesting HAND’s intervention for safety reasons.

We have lived in our apartment for 4 years now we have been flooded 8 different times we have went to management and higher management about it and they have told us it’s not “wet” so we aren’t going to worry about it. I have a picture of the mold test we done and pictures of the moisture test that we have done as well.
Hello, There has been utilities construction going on by our apartment for over a month now. We understand that there is a lot of noise that comes along with it, especially since they have to break through multiple feet of rock to be able to place new sewer lines. We have been understanding in the last few weeks as rock hammering began at 7AM and went on through 5PM Monday-Friday. Even as this construction extended to Saturdays as well. As of last night however, the construction went on all night long. I am guessing that since this is a city run construction project that the noise ordinance was overlooked, however with the continued rock hammering this is unacceptable. It is disruptive and prevented us from sleeping through the night (which is especially impressive given that we have grown accustomed to the street noise typical of living on Walnut Street). Again, we get that this is an important project and that there is a lot of noise that comes along with that. However work through the night cannot continue. Sincerely, Brandon Fricke
Utilities workers were out doing work last year and the hole they dug to work on utilities was never filled in. She reported the hole last year, but it was not resolved. The hole is in the median between the street and the sidewalk. It appears like it is has started collapsing.

Highland and Skylark-Water coming out of the street, crews digging and trying to repair, water shut off at 1527 S. Highland Ave. Would love to know how/if this will effect our water.
