A question about pipe draining into Sheridan Creek. What is draining, from where? Over more than a decade I have observed the bank erode away from the pipe and the concrete support move (or is the pipe pulling away from the bank)? As a frequent Park visitor i am curious about what's going on with the pipe. Thanks for any info you can share.
Second night in a row (as well as other nights in the past week) where a jackhammer and other loud equipment is being used past 10:00 pm less than 100 feet from residential housing. Filed a report this morning after this occurred around 2:45 am and was told it was a "one-time occurrence" and would be addressed.
I live in a basement apartment at The Quarry apartments, and there is a recurring rat problem that has not been resolved by my property owner/management. Rats have been actively present in the window well outside my basement window. This is not the first time this issue has occurred — last year, rats managed to enter my apartment, and I had to purchase my own sticky pads to catch them. At that time, the property management was notified, but no permanent solution was put in place to prevent recurrence. This year, the problem has returned. I submitted a maintenance request several days ago, followed by multiple emails (including a formal escalation) and phone calls. Despite these efforts, the property management has failed to respond or take corrective action. The ongoing presence of rats poses a serious health and safety hazard and directly impacts the habitability of my apartment. Given that this is a repeated issue, and management has been unresponsive, I am requesting HAND to inspect the property and require the landlord to take immediate corrective action, including extermination and sealing of all potential entry points.
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!

At the corner of 801 S Eastside & 1st Street there have been repeated times where trash cans are left close to the road 3-4 days after trash pick-up.
Piles of garbage left out on the front yard etc. At what point does enforcement of this house get serious? They are repeat offenders.
There is a large amount of sand and gravel at the base of Olive St, where it meets Hillside (1200 E Hillside). It is a danger for cyclists.
There's some sort of big divot or hole forming on E. Janet Drive near the intersection with 446. It is on the south side of the road. Can this get patched?
