There was a flood in this house in April of this year. We informed Orion as soon as we discovered that it was flooding. They came and claimed they resolved it by sucking up the water in the basement and dumping it for the sump pump to push it into the city sewer, and they set a dehumidifier that we did not provide. They said this issue was resolved, but there was still obvious water in the dry walls, and they did not address the leak at all. We made the leak abundantly clear. I showed them that I put tape over the leak to try to stop the water from coming in, and they left it there. It is still there to this day. The leak came from the block wall in the basement, and the water streamed throughout the unfinished section as well as into the finished bedroom. The water settled by the drain in the bedroom and the drain in the unfinished section. They saw all of this, and never came back to check for water in the dry wall or baseboards. This is as far as they went with this issue. We received no instructions for how to prevent mold from growing, and there was no concern expressed for this possibility although the pictures show that there was water seeping through the walls. Months later, we have discovered that there is now severe mold growth in the basement. It is on the doors, baseboards, ceilings, and personal items. The most severe portion of the basement affected by the mold is the bedroom. The unfinished section shows obvious signs of a leak in the drop ceiling due to water marks.There is also mold growth on the block wall. The bedroom also has water marks on the ceiling, and the use of a moisture detection device shows that there is moisture in the ceiling likely caused by a leak which was concealed by the drop ceiling. The moisture also reaches up 3 feet in the dry wall in the bedroom. The bathroom was not flooded as severely as the bedroom, so there is less mold growth, but there are still signs of mold in the baseboards where the water ran through to the lowest point which was the drain in the bedroom. By evaluating all of these factors, it is clear that it was not any environment issue that caused mold, rather it was the unresolved leak in the block wall, the leak hidden by the drop ceiling, and the unresolved issues from the flood such as the saturated drywall and baseboards. We would like to have a city code inspector come take a look at this and confirm these statements.

Some vines in the alley have taken over the power pole, I’m not really sure if this is the city’s issue or Duke’s, but we could use some assistance getting these vines off of those worse in the alleyway between Kirkwood and 6th St

At the Winslow Woods Nature Trail, up on the hill as you're heading to the streets behind the trail (E. Azelea Ln and S. Bent Tree Dr.), there is a yellow jacket nest buried to one side in a thicket. I have noticed them the past couple days I've been out there getting more aggressive and expanding their territory. I was also stung by one before I knew they were there. They seem to be increasing in number, so wanted to let you know to warn anyone who might be allergic, or if children/pets are out there. Thanks!

A lot of effort has been done to trim trees and remove invasive honeysuckle along this trail the last year. Unfortunately, the perhaps even more invasive tree of heaven has taken its place. I've noticed dozens of saplings that have grown already up to 10 feet tall this year.
