Two vacant lots on N. Summit St. near Alexander St. has trash, tires, etc. and needs mowed. In front of the lots sits an old truck bed made into a trailer and full of junk, oil, etc. Some of this junk is causing nails, bolts and screws to be all over the street. Truck owned by Pat Gray who lives on W. 11th St.
LAWSON WENT OUT TO LOOK AT COMPLAINT #5521. THERE IS AN APARTMENT BLDG. IN THE 200-204 BLOCK . THE GRASS NEEDS TO BE CUT IN BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK AND THERE IS TRASH THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP. LAWSON SAID TO REFERENCE COMPLAINT #5521.
Alley behind her house (Washtn/Lincoln-15th/16th) has gravel half-way down it. The other half is grass which she has always kept mowed. She is 81 and can't keep up with it anymore. Could the City gravel the rest of the alley?
Apartment building at SE corner of 16th and Washington has tall grass which needs to be cut.
Says trash crews always throw her cans across the yard and do this down the whole street. Understands they have a lot to do, but thinks they could be more careful in replacing the cans after emptying.
Huge tree on the corner of 3rd and Walker obstructing view of intersection. Very dangerous, according to Daniels.
Residents who live directly across the street from the complex (321 E. 14th St.) are dumping their trash in the dumpster located to the north side of the complex. Ms. Sadler stated that she called the Police Dept. and they referred her to HAND.
Mr. Johnson complained that he had "somewhat of an animal emergency" but was unable to get through to the Animal Control/Shelter. I talked to the Shelter, and apparently they are short 4 staff members and are very busy. When I said that I'd received a complaint they apologized but said that it was important to leave a message, which the gentelman appraently did not do.
Resident says crew lost trash when dumping can and it's strewn around on walkway. Please check it out. Thanks.
