Broken Handrail on 729 Building stairway
Daphne called and reported an unhoused camp that has popped up at the abandoned Arby's property. She reported there is excessive trash.
Call received to HAND from adjacent property owner. There is also a uReport under address 812 W 3rd that is duplicative. People are living year-round in an RV parked on an unimproved surface at 220 S. Maple Street. They have been there for about 18 months. I previously reported them to H.AN.D. and the city's legal department. There are also 3-5 other cars parked in the small property lot at all times. The man is apparently fixing cars for others. Various articles and garbage bags are often strewn about. Their has been many domestic violence and nuisance reports to the police and fire department during this time.
Grass and weeds on the property are knee high. It does not appear that anyone is living there. This has been an ongoing issue for the past several years.
The bus stop “landing pad” outside of our entrance on East Second Street needs to be replaced with perhaps concrete instead of the current asphalt. The asphalt is crumbling and ground is being pushed up and over the curb as a result. It’s a muddy mess and unsightly. The condition of the street has deteriorated a great deal since the photo in the report was taken. The asphalt is gone and the mud in now over the curb and onto the grass.
There is bamboo growing at this property. It is spreading to 3614 E Longview.
See Case #179268. These folks continue to throw a lot of trash in their yard.
