The yard is overgrown. There is bamboo growing on the southwest corner of the property. there is trash in the parking area. There is a large dying tree in the back yard that poses a hazard--large dead limbs are constantly dropping and the entire tree looks like it could come down on my house. I have filed a report before, I have contacted the owner. I should not have to be a nervous wreck when I go to sleep on nights like last night, thinking the tree could fall on my bedroom. This is a rental property--what about the tenants that pay to live in place that is trashed.
There is trash behind the house, in the parking area--some in trash containers that are open and some laying on the other side of the parking area--those opened trash bags are covered in weeds and have been there for several weeks and the flys are breeding. This is an on-going and regular problem with this location. I have also seen rats in the front yard.
We have had significant flooding at the intersection of 11th St and Blair Ave for many years. The water is high enough to jump the north curb and flood the sidewalk. What I realized in the last storm is that much of the problem stems from insufficient stormwater inlets upstream. In particular, there are no inlets near the intersection of 11th and Orris Dr, so the water simply follows the road and creates excess drainage demand on the inlets at Blair. We could really use an upgrade to the drainage system along 11th Street and its side roads in this area.
