Vacant house with trash & yard waste.
Vacant house with trash & yard waste.
Water has been discolored since water line of neighbor (directly to the west of 513) was worked on approx. 1 month ago. Also has low water pressure. Would like water cleared and pressure restored.
Has lived there 1 1/1 mos. Neighbors have trash all over yard. Can't even tell there is a yard. Has complained before (see C2206 & C1403) House appears to be mostly vacant - can't tell if anyone lives there.
Water has had a dirty or rusty taste since before Mr. Liebl went on vacation (approx. 2 weeks). Water is clear.
House sits on slope of hill, run-off from rain washes driveway into yard, backyard floods, basement leaks around foundation. Problem is gettin worse. Complaintant spoke with Gary Campbell who was in neighborhood possibly on a similar complaint.
THE USED CAR LOT AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS HAS A 3' X 5' SIGN AT THE BACK OF THE SIDEWALK THAT OBSTRUCTS THE LINE OF SIGHT FOR THOSE TRYING TO TURN ONTO WALNUT FROM DODDS STREET. THE SIGN HAS BEEN UP A LONG TIME.
Vi took this call. Re: Men putting up new roof on house at NW corner of Hillside & S Madison - throwing old roofing material, nails into yard, street, sidewalk. Do they have a permit? Who is going to clean up the mess? House faces Madison in 1500 block. Code: Just add it to your list, no need to get back to me - Thanks.
SE corner of Dodds & Morton - weeds are obstructing vision.
Tree hangs over the wall & blocks the alley @ 1st alley west of Morton on Dodds. On the west side of the PHN bldg. Not sure 315 is correct address.
REFERRED BY STREET DEPT: THERE IS A HOLE IN THE BLACKTOP AT THE CORNER OF HIGHLAND AVENUE & MILLER DRIVE (HIGHLAND HOMES SUBDIVISION). PER STREET DEPT. IT SEEMS THAT THE SEWER LINE WAS NOT COMPACTED BEFORE IT WAS COVERED BY BLACKTOP. THE SIDEWALK AS WELL AS THE ROAD APPEAR TO BE SINKING IN. IT DOES SEEM LIKE SOMEONE, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO, HAS BEEN OUT LOOKING AT THE PROBLEM.
