Unsafe Buildings

1400 W 8th ST

Case Date:
4/1/2024

Occupants have been erecting numerous structures made of pallets, wood, and tarps throughout their property for several weeks. The backyard seems completely full of these shanties. Their "construction" continues throughout much of the evening many days of the week, often extending to 10:00pm or later. The banging and power tool noise is a nuisance and the many structures they are creating seem very unsafe, especially for the children that are seen/heard playing there.

See case #186558. Property is being gutted. No permit posted. Monroe County Building department says a permit, but does not appear to care to enforce their own rules and issue a stop work order until permit is obtained. If the property owners are friends with the inspectors, do they get special treatment?

There is a window by the grass and the parking lot (on right side of building near the dumpsters/ally). There is tons of glass that is a hazard to my dog and others in the community who use this area to let their dogs go to the bathroom (there are at least 5 I know that use this space). The glass is very dangerous and has been ignored. There is also tons of trash in this grass left by workers fixing this building.

Property owner dug a huge pit in the front yard and then just partially covered it with thin plywood leaving a portion of the pit exposed and a large, unsightly pile of dirt next to it. People or animals could easily fall into the pit and be trapped or hurt. Please ask owner to stop dragging down the neighborhood and finish any jobs he starts so that others are not put in danger.

All 3 elevators are not working right now at the Standard Apartment complex. Is this legal? Is there anything the city can do to ensure that the elevators work properly? There have been ongoing issues with various elevators and now they’re all non/functional. Thank you!

There is a strong gas leak smell coming from the back of the house. We can smell it in adjacent yards and sometimes from the road. It was bad enough. We called the gas company who says that it is propane not natural gas and the smell was the leftover unburned gas coming out of the vents. This house should be using natural gas, so I believe that the furnace has been improperly modified and is using the wrong kind of gas. This is entirely without human supervision, because the owner does not live at this residence or in town.
