At the corner of Kirkwood Ave and South Walnut, there is a transient woman sleeping. Not particularly obstructing anything but didn't want someone to get hurt.
Over the hill behind the apartment complex in the wooded area there is an abandoned campsite that needs to be cleaned out. There are needles all over the ground. The trash and an old tent have been removed but not the needles.
We own a business building next to Kinser Flats. During covid, business slowed down and people had to work from home. The people that still went to the office became uncomfortable there due to the fighting next door, gun fire, profanity, vagrant people who would be passed out on the back deck, human waste, needles in the yard and on deck, random junk cars in the parking lot, zombie like people with camp sites set up in the yard and huge amounts of trash. We have had to replace Hvac (5 units) 2 times due to vandalism and had a concrete block thrown through a window, another window cracked, lots of broken outdoor furnishings, torn up masonry and lawn equipment stolen from shed that was also completely torn down. As a result of all of this, the value of the property has gone down significantly. We would like to get back into the building to do business and would like help/cooperation with the city and the people running Kinser Flats to make this possible. This building was a beautiful and safe place to work and do business before Kinser Flats and now it is unsafe and impossible upkeep. Please help!!!!!!!!!! Lucinda Farkas Owner, 441 W Gourley Pike
Transient man screaming and yelling outside City Hall first thing this morning (around 7AM timeframe). Individual was screaming about pointing guns at him and repeatedly talking to himself. Staff feel uncomfortable entering the building this early in the AM without other security measures in place. The individual then began approaching cars as more staff pulled up for the day to park and come inside City Hall. Again, it is uncomfortable as an individual to leave vehicle and walk alone with someone being unstable and yelling at you. Is there someone on site beginning around 7AM at all?
