Blocked Sidewalk

605 S Fess AVE

Case Date:
3/4/2025

There is always standing water here on this sidewalk. It was a sheet of ice last month. Is there a water main break? So much water can not use the sidewalk. I do not want to have to walk in the street.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

609 S Fess AVE

Case Date:
2/18/2025

I reported this last week for the first time. (Case #200875) I took this new photo this morning, which shows clearly the abundance of water issuing from this drain. I am confident that this is not simply runoff. I dealt with a similar complaint about one month ago lodged against a property I help manage for Chickering Rentals at 620 N College. Turns out, the water was coming from a sink AND a shower inside that house that was connected to a sump pump, and then connect to a downspout extension drain that expelled on the sidewalk. (I identified the issue and the company remedied it the same day it was reported to us.) It appears that the same thing may be happening at 609 S Fess. There is no explanation as to why so much water would be issuing from a downspout drain at 9am this morning when the temps are less than 10, far below freezing. But you can see in the picture the amount of snow the water has covered and had not yet frozen. I’m guessing if you go out now, it may be frozen. It’s only after it has recently been pumping and expelling that it is still liquid. The only explanation from what I can tell is it’s coming from inside the property. Either 605 s fess or 609 s fess. I’m guessing that there is a sink or shower inside the house, connected to a sump pump drain, connected to this drain on the sidewalk. Thanks for your help and attention to this.

Drainage or Runoff

609 S Fess AVE

Case Date:
2/13/2025

My wife and I live nearby and pass by this area on our walk to Bryan park. For well over a year, I have noticed this section of the sidewalk between 609 S Fess and 605 S Fess is consistently wet, even when there has been no rain/snow. When the temps fall and stay below freezing, ice accumulates on this area of the sidewalk, as it is doing right now. I am convinced that there is either a natural spring, or a sump pump inside either 605 or 609 S Fess that is connected to a storm water run off drain that expels on the sidewalk. The water is issuing from three slit holes at the bottom of the brick wall outside of 609 S Fess, where that brick wall terminates and meets the limestone wall for 605 S Fess. 609 S Fess is managed by Sarge Rentals. 605 S Fess is managed by Wininger Real Estate.

Fiber co. Cut sidewalk. Someone came to patch with asphalt. Asphalt sunk immediately. Looks like a significant hole in sidewalk. Water meter appears to be affected as well - tilting towards the hole (did not use to).

822 S Fess again. The gigabit people are at it again. End of driveway and into neighbor. Left a hole and trash, plastic debris and empty water bottle. Just abandoned with a hole by neighbors tree at end of drive way. Please get these people under control. So they have left this as if they started digging, changed their mind and left. Then they dug up my front yard and then on Monday, a water main rupture from their digging. ALL other installation has been down the alley WHERE the power lines run. Please respond. Issue #3.

Case Date:

There is a hole at the curb at the end our adjoining driveways, 1202 and 1208 E 1st. This has developed after the attempted temporary fix which was made after attempting to find the source of a water leak. This was made during the installation of Gigabit now. It is 17 inches deep and when covered with leaves, not visible. Please fix this to prevent damage to our cars.

Blocked Street

822 S Fess AVE

Case Date:
11/4/2024

The fiber optic company is at it again. I was In Indy all day and come to a blocked street with the fiber optic company striking a water main in the middle of Fess Avenue. Not only did they dig up my yard without notification and it still remains dirt covered WITH NO grass seed, I came home tonight after being in Indy ALL day to finding my driveway inaccessible with 4-5 city trucks, trailers and workers fixing a WATER MAIN break caused by the gigabit folks trying to install fiber optic UNDER the street and hitting a water main line. Who in the city hired and who manages these people??!! Enough is enough!

Our outgoing water pipe backed up and flooded our basement. The plumber ran a camera down the drain and believes the pipe has been hit by the fiber cable installer yesterday, July 19. The plumber said the cable installer should fix the problem. Who should I call?

Traffic Related Complaints

Thanks but I see done going outside of the parking place markings into a lane of traffic.

With that in mind, the water-filled barricades are not being used as traffic control devices, but rather as a physical delineation between the seating and the road itself.
