4- Way stop needed, close calls
Parker Management openly admits that they will not shovel sidewalks or cut lawns unless someone complains. They should be fined for not shoveling by now. They have attended to *none* of the properties they are supposedly responsible for. This is just one example of multiple properties in the neighborhood. They say that it will eventually melt on its own.
Snow on sidewalk
This property had snow on the sidewalks for a week, as did all properties in the neighborhood under Parker Management. The issue was reported to HAND early on, but by the time they acted on it the snow had turned into glaciers that are nearly impossible to remove, and they did so by issuing a fine to the tenants of the property on the first day of the semester and when no shovels are available in any store, whereas they should be fining the *property owner* as per City Code: "6.07.010 - Snow and ice removal—Duty of abutting property owner." (Note especially the 36"-wide path requirement.) The Lincoln side of the property is still not shoveled. Will HAND issue daily fines to the management until they comply with the City ordinance?
Snow on sidewalk (Lincoln side)
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.
More tree-of-heaven for HAND to deal with. It is coming up on the west side of this house, as it has done for years. Only a few feet tall at present, but it must be eradicated because it is a prohibited plant. While there, you might check the dense overgrowth between 300 and 306 E. 11th. There could be other prohibited plants lurking in that mess - maybe bush honeysuckle. But be careful of the retaining wall along Lincoln - it's just about to collapse.
