It Is believed this home is being used as a sober living home. They are charging recovering addicts for a bed. I do not believe they have been approved for this by HAND or have any of the proper documentation to run a place of this nature. The company seems to be scamming people for money to get these homes in their program.
The sign in the middle of the Allen-Rogers intersection (right turn except bikes) has been knocked down.
Sewage leaking out of white pipe into the grass area and onto the street
At 1002 or 1006 E. First not far from Woodlawn. Last Monday the 7th therewas a bigger pile of trash in the driveway/sidewalk. A smaller pile today the 14th, but some at least seems to have been there on the 7th. It might be a rental property. I dont know policy on this, but it seems the rental company should be fined / charged for special collection of improperly left trash. Then they can pass it on to their tenants.
Street light at 6th between elm and oak is out.
excess growth and abandoned house
A new sidewalk in this area was installed, but the road doesn't seem to be finished. There are huge potholes and it is unsafe for bikes, pedestrians, and vehicles.
Fire hydrant on western edge of Bryan Park is leaking.

The north side of 13th Street between Indiana and Fess has an old limestone masonry sidewalk, maybe from the 1950s (?) It is interesting for historic reasons - it looks like it matches the sidewalks that flank Lincoln between 10th and Cottage Grove - but parts of it have degraded to a point that it is now a bit awkward to walk on it, especially at night. (It is definitely not ADA-complaint.) Is there an office in town dedicated to historic preservation that could commission a team of masons to redo this sidewalk? There is a concrete sidewalk just east of this block that appears to match the pattern, but it is poured concrete with pattern-pressed and actually looks a little comical, as if it is trying to be something that it is not. Also, a side note: there is no sidewalk on the south side of 13th Street in this block. If there were one there (especially ADA-compliant), people could more safely walk from campus to "The Standard" along that street.
