Over a year ago, new water lines were installed along Brookdale to accommodate a new apartment complex on the west side of Kinser Pike. (Aspen Apts.) That construction dug up parts of the yards of the houses on Brookdale as well as part of the street itself. The street was never repaved and the areas that were covered up with dirt become muddy when it rains.
Today, Tuesday, July 29, 2025, is my normal trash pickup day. When I put my trash and recycling bins out last night, the street was clear, but from 6:30 on this morning, the sewer repair crew has blocked the street, and so my trash and recycling bins are still in front of my house but blocked by work crews. Will they return to pick it up?
Very tall weeds, vegetation and invasive trees growing all around the house
This house is abandoned and not secured for several years now. There is no back door and windows are broken out. Graffiti has been spray painted inside the house. No one is maintaining the building even though someone is paying for lawn service now. It has been frequented by teenagers and homeless people. There are probably animals living inside, since there is nothing preventing them from going in.
excessive growth of giant ragweed along the alley
Broken glass, needles, and other trash at the SE corner of B Line and 4th st. Especially on the concrete pad where the 4th St fire station used to be.
There is a hole in the driveway of this complex on the direct route from the new sidewalk across to the street. My kid tripped on it last night after dark, discovering the issue. I'm not sure if it's the responsibility of the city or the apartment complex, but it is a safety hazard for pedestrians. It goes all the way down to the culvert. Thanks.
The gentleman that owns the 3 dilapidated white houses across from Fountain drive. Has repeatedly violated trash pickup rules and left unbagged trash and debris on the sidewalk. When the city did not pick up the strewn trash he left he came back this after noon (7/1/25 @ 6:20pm) and kicked the remaining trash into the street.
