This family has a makeshift fence that is unstable and proceeds into the sidewalk. They also have a dog that lunges and feels unsafe (especially with a makeshift fence so close to the sidewalk) when walking by. My kids are scared and it's on a busy neighborhood corner that a lot of kids walk by.
This house was sold and purchased by new owners in 2016. Since then the number of vehicles parked on the street has grown to as many as 7 over time. For the last 8 months, one of the vehicles has had 2 flat tires and has not moved. There have been many times (especially during snowy winter days) where the street becomes hard to navigate especially with two way traffic. Is there any ordinance that recommends the number of cars one can park in front of their house? Can an abandoned car remain on the streets for months on end? Perhaps the number of cars is related to the number of families residing at this home; is there a limit to the number of families that may be co-housing? How can this be resolved? Aside from the driving safety issues, it is a visual blight on our neighborhood and a very unfortunate welcome to our lovely neighborhood.
Red car with four flat tires parked on Greenbriar Lane for over a year. It has not moved.
There's a pot hole in the middles of the street, but there are also potholes across the street along the edge of the traffic island and just north of the island where Locust curves into Greenbriar.
I am a neighbor of this address. Twice in the past year, the two dogs who live at this property have been in the street and charged me and my dog. On another occasion, one of the dogs charged the property's fence and attempted to bite me by reaching *over* the fence. I have reported two of these instances to Animal Control. The last time (when the dog attempt to bite over the fence), the Animal Control officer told me that he had explained to the owners that their fence violates zoning by being too close to the sidewalk, and that the owners had expressed an intention to remove the fence in the front and keep the dogs in the back. However, I have heard, "We keep the dogs in the back" multiple times, when that is not true. The Animal Control Officer suggested that I could contact the city's zoning office, to have the fencing issue in the front yard addressed. I cannot find a way to contact Zoning specifically, so I am submitting the request here. FWIW, other people have had encounters with these dogs, though I don't know if they have reported it. Thank you.
Following up regarding the closing of ticket 1882595. The Animal Control Officer indicated that the fence was, by Zoning standards, too close to the sidewalk. (I.e., not that it wasn't tall enough.)

This morning at 10 am, the two dogs who live at 2008 E Greenbriar charged, barking with ears flat, my small dog and I, again. Thanks to two other passersby, the dogs got home. However. This is at least the third time these dogs have charged us personally in the street this year. Other neighbors also have had difficulties. On a previous occasion, a neighbor who lives on Hyde Park Circle told me, "We've also had trouble with them." Another time, a small boy who saw me walking by the house said, "Be careful. Sometimes those dogs get out. They chased me." He said neighbors came to help him. I don't want anything bad to happen to the dogs. I also don't want to feel as if I have to be prepared for a possible attack every time I walk by the house, which is how I currently feel. (I walk my dog daily and there aren't many other ways out of the neighborhood.) My dog is terrified of other dogs, even when they don't come on the run and barking, and I have a responsibility to protect him. What has to happen in order to keep this from occurring on a semi-regular basis? Thank you.
