In the attached photo of the property at 801 N. Oolitic St., I have circled the vehicle that I am referencing in this report. This vehicle does not operate and has been sitting, unmoved, for six months, if not a year. The vehicle is not directly on the street, it sits in the grass at the edge of the road - technically a city right-of way. Nevertheless....to quote city ordinance 15.04.020-Abandoned Vehicle(6) "Abandoned vehicle" means "A vehicle that is three or more model years old (it is), and mechanically inoperable (it is), and is left on private property continuously in a location visible from public property for more than twenty days (it absolutely is clearly visible from my property, every neighbors' property, and any passerby.) Whether anything like the engine, transmission, or differential has been removed is unknown to me, but it may also fit under definition (4) of "abandoned vehicle." This vehicle is an eyesore to myself and my neighbors. Please take the necessary measures to have it removed. Thank you.
The alley behind Beechwood 1 and 2 apartments on 2nd St are getting washed out and some of the holes are getting almost too bad to drive on. This is the alley between Grant St and Lincoln St. Thanks!
I am reporting this property for the SECOND time. Nothing has changed - it has gotten worse. When reported previously, Jo Stong's response was, "Well, I drove by and didn't see anything that couldn't be outside." How ridiculous. This is NOT how the city ordinance qualifies debris. Ordinance 6.06.020 - Deposit of Garbage reads, "It is unlawful for any person to throw, place, or scatter any garbage, recyclable materials, or yard waste over or upon any premises, street, alley, either public or private, or to suffer or permit any garbage, recyclable materials or yard waste to be placed or deposited on the premises owned, occupied, or controlled by such person either with or without the intent to LATER REMOVE, COVER, OR BURN IT. Also, we know that there is an ordinance regarding construction debris. The fact is this home, which is zoned "single family home" is being used for storage only. If I read it correctly, there are no utilities currently turned on to the house. I own property in this area and I expect HAND to inform city ordinances just like they would in Hyde Park. It is not right that HAND allows blight to ruin the well-being and property rights of others.
The overgrowth at 913 W. 11th St is obscuring the view for drivers turning from Orris Dr to W. 11th Street t the point where a driver has to pull the nose of his/her car all the way out onto 11th St to see if the way is clear. Obviously, this could cause accidents with other cars, school busses going to/from Tri-North, or pedestrians crossing on the sidewalk.
When trying to make a turn from Orris Dr onto W. 11th St, the excessive growth from this home obscures the view enough to where a driver has to stick the nose of his/her car all the way out on 11th to be able to see if the way is clear. Obviously, this is dangerous. It could cause an accident with cars, schools busses running to and from Tri-North, or any pedestrian walking down the sidewalk - which, in and of itself, is obscured.
A rental at the corner of Mitchell and 2nd St has many bags of open garbage that are smelling up the neighborhood. Sanitation probably didn't pick it up because of the amount of garbage. Who is supposed to contact the realtor or renters? The situation is horrible.
Hi, W 3rd just before Roselawn cemetary, there is an alley that leads to 4th St. It would be great to have a sign that faces W with a bike on it pointing toward 4th St. It would help bicyclists coming from Patterson addition and the soon-to-be affordable project at Walker, cycle on 4th St to town and IU rather than going the wrong way on 3rd Street. Thanks for this ureport.
