vacant steak and shake building on north college (1919 n college) has the drive thru window pried open. looks like someone has been in there.
Derelict house. Looks abandoned. Front door hanging open. Yard is overgrown.
House is not inhabited, but has been in the same dilapidated and unsafe state since 2017 when the current owner purchased it. It appears to be used as a storage unit and not a residential property. There are supplies/materials piled up in the front yard, driveway, and garage (there is no garage door). It is very much an eyesore.
Roof caving in, floor caving in, rats, abandoned cars, excessive growth,
House insufficiently sealed - windows broken, could easily be trespassed and used for illicit activities. I was told it would be sealed months ago - it is not sealed. What is the hold up? This house should be razed and the cost added to the tax bill.

Large maple tree behind property (formally on 908 N. Walnut), has fallen into high voltage, primary distribution lines and snapped them. Tree remains suspended on remaining wires, broken ones are one the ground. All houses within a few blocks of this are now without electric service.
The roof of this house has holes as large as beachballs, with racoons coming and going through them. Check the SW corner of the roof.
West end of the retaining wall on north side of the property (Cottage Grove side) has degraded so much so that the capstone is no longer supported by underlaying stone and could fail if any significant pressure is placed on it, such as someone sitting or stepping on it. It is adjacent to the former driveway.
