Owner of this home is elderly and impoverished. His only source of heat is burning wood. This tree on city property has branches covering his chimney and we are concerned about the threat of fire. We have reached out to the city forester and the fire dept. Thank you
This is the back yard of the home of Carl James. His grandsons work on cars and currently have 5 on the property, two are in the drive, one of which is up on jacks. Carl does not drive. These cars have been sitting in the yard for several weeks. The grass has not been cut in that time either. Carl has some health issues and the grandsons help out on occasion, and are difficult to approach. Please contact me if you need any further information.
This is a 2 week follow up to report # 204696 per request from Raye Ann Cox. There are still 3 vehicles parked in the back yard. There are 2 vehicles parked in driveway, one is unplated, one up on a jack. We asked owner again to remove the jack due to safety concerns.
I took this iPhone photo Friday night, as discreetly as I could, before it got completely dark. I count six vehicles on the grass in the backyard. If you zoom in, you can see the bent metal (above the burgundy car) where the back roof has partially collapsed. There is also a large tree growing through the left side of the collapsed roof (not pictured). This house is uninhabitable. Several neighbors, myself included, believe there is no running water since one of the tenants urinates on the lawn. I’m shocked that the roof hasn’t completely caved in. Someone is going to get hurt if this isn’t addressed and fixed.
Hello, this is the third time I have submitted a complaint about this property. My neighbor sent me this photo via text last night. The owner’s family members think they’re clever by “solving the problem” of removing old mattresses on the front porch. We were all thrilled to think they finally had the two stained mattresses properly hauled away. Instead, they just moved them to the crumbling back porch with its sagging roof. If there was a fire, heaven forbid, and they had to quickly use the back door to leave a burning building, they would be delayed by the old, stained mattresses. In addition to the owner, there is a tenant named James (who also goes by Jimmy) living at the house. He is intellectually challenged, yet seems to be the only person seen pushing home owner Carl up the sidewalk and/or street, in a seated walker. Carl’s health has visibly declined since the beginning of 2025. This family is flipping the bird at City inspectors and us, the neighbors who have to look at their mess, and have for years. I will keep filing reports until owner Carl James, his 16 grandchildren and namesake son CJ (Carl Junior) finally takes these infractions seriously. Thank you for your work.
There are several junky cars parked on the grass in the backyard of 703 W 7th Street. I believe this is an environmental hazard to the soil. If possible, please have these cars removed. Thank you.
We’ve been moved out of our apartment since Halloween of 2021. We moved/transferred our Duke Energy to our new location, however the move service did not shut off our old account. We did not know until last month. I called the arch apartments to have them take the bill back into their name. They did that but the bill got pushed onto my new account. The arch didn’t absorb the bill. The Arch is getting demolished and has their phone disconnected.
