The Mayor's office should really post information on the city website and not just on Facebook. Facebook is a toxic platform that requires an account and residents should not be forced to engage on that platform just to get basic information. If the Mayor wants to post things there that is fine but it can't be the only source of information.
Concern Regarding Unusual Activity and Property Conditions Next to My Business Dear City Official, Good Morning, I am reaching out to express my concern about some recent developments at the property located next to my business at 811 N Walnut St. Since new residents moved in, there has been a noticeable increase in unusual activity that is negatively impacting the appearance and environment around my business. Specifically, the residents have been leaving trash overflowing into the alley, some of which is spilling over onto my property. This not only creates a messy and unsanitary environment but also makes a poor impression on my clients as they arrive at my business. Additionally, there are two cars at the property: one that does not appear to be running and another that is frequently being worked on. There are also cars frequently pulling up in the alley, where individuals from the house briefly interact with the vehicles before returning inside. The overall condition of the property and the ongoing activity is concerning, and I would appreciate your assistance in addressing this issue. As a business owner, it is important to me that the surrounding environment reflects positively on the area, and I believe this situation is detracting from that. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.
Excessive growth in the front yard is spreading and leaning into the street as there is no curb in this stretch of Hillsdale. If one were to take a flat blade shovel, one could scrape 4-6 inches of vegetation off the asphalt between 229 and 225.
Mass of discarded cardboard piled against NW corner of house. Fire hazard.
Pair of floodlights on second floor of back (north) side of house are shining directly at neighbor's house across alley and bathing it in bright, harsh light all night long.
Around 8:10pm on Tues., 10/8/24 there were several cars parked in the left turn lane on Atwater, just west of Woodlawn. Most cars were running with lights in, perhaps waiting to pick someone up? I had heard this is happening frequently in that location, but had not encountered it until tonight.
I live at 117 S.Heritage Rd in Park Ridge area. To avoid risk to crash into the vehicles parked on Heritage Rd, I turned into Morningside from 3rd street, then Park Lane, meadow brook, back to Morningside then into Heritage. When the time I turned into Morningside, it’s like from a bright hallway into a dark theater. Once I almost turn into the grass area. The street lights in Park Ridge area are old fashioned. The ones in Park Ridge East with low warm light are much better. The area I passed are all dark even with people’s own light, hard for drivers to see people walking their dogs in the night.
This address regularly has unbagged trash spilling all over the sidewalk.
Maybe the homeowners just don't care that their yard is out of control, trash is still abundant outside and have seen raccoons and opossums lingering around regularly. How can the city compell this residence to actually take action and clean this up.
