This building has had a rat infestation for the past 10 years. The building is managed by Granite Student Living. There are bait traps placed around the building but these have not been helping. The rats are coming into the house, they are in the walls, and they are even entering living spaces through holes in the floor and holes in cabinets. The rat population at this location is growing due to the condition of the dumpster on site (see attached photo). The dumpster sits open with no lid, is often overflowing, and sits inside a wooden structure that the rats are using to climb up and into the dumpster. The house itself has not been completely sealed up from the outside to take away access points either. Additionally, there is no lighting in the back parking lot between the house and the dumpster, which creates an environment for rats to thrive, and also presents a safety concern for tenants. Granite has been made aware of these concerns but they have already stated "there are no plans to change lighting or the trash situation." Please have this matter looked into.
This house is in horrific repair and appears unsafe for the residents. The gutters are chained to a scaffold so they don't fall. The roof has visible holes and rot with the eaves falling off in to the yard.
Trash beside home
Overgrown grass and brush. They do not mow or maintain property. Also, trash and junk left outside all the time.
excessive weeds growing in front yard, hanging over the road, blocking full road access for cars/pedestrians. weeds about 3 foot high. Looks to be between 2601 and 2615 e dekist. Also present are various items on display in a stand at 2601 e dekist, looks to be trash/refuse and easy to blow off the stand into the road, polluting the neighborhood. There is also food produce displayed here with no refrigeration or container, encouraging rodents/vermin and rotten food items near where children play. I am concerned this resident is not keeping up to city living standards and the 'communal living' center that seems to be run here is suspected of having more than 3 unrelated adults living here. If other residents are held to a city-defined standard, so should this address.
Trees are growing out into the road in an abandoned alley on Coolidge Drive. Directly across from the entrance of the Broadview Learning Center the tree limbs are out into the road and hit the school bus and other vehicles as the drive west on Coolidge Drive.
Tree that was damaged years ago in front of JL Waters. Lim needs to be removed. I’m taking this from the top of my building at 107 North College.
Homeless person living in a tent in front of the house.
I work days,and can't sleep due to either a man hole cover or piece of sheet metal laying in the road. It's been there for days and is extremely loud and annoying. Can it be removed?
