Shrubs overgrown onto sidewalk.
He says that the house to the south of him is a rental and the people park in the alley, blocking it., and then cars drive around them on his property. He would like to install some sort of curbing but does not know where the edge of the alley is.
Received complaint week of 8-26-96 concerning water problem @ the alley and sidewalk since the new curb was put in.
Also, 1117 S. Rogers St, 1121 S. Rogers St., 1128 S. Madison St. - trash & garbage left out all the time, not tagged. (1121 is a rental, owner is - Butch Harris)
Weeds in backyard are over 2 feet tall.
Alley behind this property full of yard clippings, tree limbs etc. Skunks, racoons, snakes, opossums, & probably rats live in this. Complaintant said they have complained before but "no action from the city". See attached letter from complaintant for more info.
Still problems w/1213. Now there is an abandoned pick-up truck sitting on Mr. Brinegar's property. He does not know who property owner is. See previous complaint #C2181.
Water has been discolored since water line of neighbor (directly to the west of 513) was worked on approx. 1 month ago. Also has low water pressure. Would like water cleared and pressure restored.
Has lived there 1 1/1 mos. Neighbors have trash all over yard. Can't even tell there is a yard. Has complained before (see C2206 & C1403) House appears to be mostly vacant - can't tell if anyone lives there.
Weeds, trash & vehicle.
