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?

The new median at the intersection of 3rd and Grant has been helpful. However, I have seen a number of drivers who are disgruntled not being able to turn the direction they want go around the median in a dangerous way. In one instance I witnessed, I believe this caused a fender-bender accident. In another instance I experienced as a pedestrian crossing, a car made an illegal turn around the median and had to stop right before me. I suggest that there be an extra pylon placed at the ends of the median's yellow lines to disincentivize this erratic driving.

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.
Yard Waste

I live in the apartments by this building and use the grass lot to let my dog use the bathroom multiple times a day. I’ve been doing so since August. I believe this building is getting turned into the new Police Department. There have been tons of trucks and workers in the parking lot next to the green grass. As a result, TONS of trash and food has been left in the grass. This includes uncrustables food wrappers, bananas, bread crust, plastic bags and more. My dog has been trying to eat all of this waste and it is a choking hazard. Please take care of this issue.

Lights above the garage on 11th street are too bright and are aimed directly across the street directly into the houses there and they are blazingly bright all night long. Is this legal? They should point them down at least or put in much dimmer bulbs or shade them or something and stop being so inconsiderate. It's bad enough they keep spastic, maniacal, dangerous dogs tied up outside that bark for hours at a time. Now the lights are adding insult to injury.
Parking Permits

Illegal parking happens all the time. Orange curb needs to be repainted. I see people park here all the time and it makes it dangerous when people turn right onto E. University St. from Henderson.
