Hi my name is Micah vessely I am a student athlete here at IU playing baseball. I recently signed a lease at Vivo living which is managed by granite student living. I went to granite and grabbed everything I needed from them to go check out my apartment before moving in to make sure it was cleaned and ready to move in. I walked into the building and was immediately disgusted by the smell of smoke and the amount of bugs that were in the entry of the place. That led me to thinking about my room and how that would look if the entry was bad with bugs. I then go up to my room at 217 and walked in and the bugs were all over the place. There was probably 100+ bugs in that room alone. They were both alive and dead. I was ready to throw up when I saw that. Nobody wants to live in a place that is full of bugs it’s disgusting and makes you not want to stay there. So I reported it to the maintenance of Granite and to the management of them as well. They claim they reconditioned the place after the last person moved out which was on 7-14-25. That is a lie because when I talked to the manger at granite, she said nobody has been into that unit to do anything to it. This place was a dump and not what they said I was getting in the pictures and the lease. I paid 299 dollars in fees to have the place reconditioned and it feels as if I just got scammed out of that money. I then asked to be moved to a different unit and they were willing to do that for me which was nice, but I went to the unit they moved me to which was 329 and it was the same situation. The bugs were everywhere and the smell of smoke was just as bad. This is not a place anybody should be living in and I am requesting and inspection to be done in hopes of not having to live in a place that will put my health at risk. As a student athlete, I need to be healthy to participate in schooling and sports to perform at my best and this place feels like I will not be able to prioritize that. I have plenty of evidence of the bugs in each room 217 and 329 and signs of no smoking at or in the building. I need an inspection so I can get out of this disgusting place! Thank you!

This house is abandoned and not secured for several years now. There is no back door and windows are broken out. Graffiti has been spray painted inside the house. No one is maintaining the building even though someone is paying for lawn service now. It has been frequented by teenagers and homeless people. There are probably animals living inside, since there is nothing preventing them from going in.

Attempted occasional renovation work at 101 S Jefferson St is leaving the structure open for weeks at a time. There is clear line of sight from 5th street into the main structure. I believe there is a permit displayed. The climbing vines are covering the openings faster than the construction crew.

The tree in front of the house is dead and a hazard. I tried to contact the homeowner's directly, but the phone number I had was incorrect. It fell on my house 2 years ago, it damaged their tenant's car. I'm worried that it will fall on my house again and may injure someone. This tree needs to be removed.

A part of the old stone retaining wall on the Lincoln side of this lot is just about to collapse. It looks like it's leaning at a 46 degree angle. If anyone is sitting on it or just walking by when it does fall, someone is going to get sued.
