There appears to be ongoing towing- or auto-related business activity being operated out of this residential rental property.
A tow truck is present at the property on a regular basis. At any given time, there are typically 3–4 vehicles stored in the driveway, with 2 additional vehicles consistently kept in the rear of the property behind a bush and shed. Vehicles rotate frequently and are often present for multiple days at a time before being replaced by different vehicles.
This pattern has been consistent over time and appears to be more than personal vehicle ownership or occasional guest parking.
Observed details:
Tow truck is frequently parked at the residence
Vehicles rotate regularly (clear turnover)
Multiple vehicles stored simultaneously
Vehicles remain on-site for days at a time
Rear-yard vehicle storage partially concealed from street view
Concern:
This appears consistent with commercial vehicle storage and towing-related activity at a residential rental property, which may violate zoning, home occupation limits, or vehicle nuisance/parking regulations.
Requesting review by the appropriate department.

Similar situation to case #207518. "The Bentley" apartment building on the SE corner of 11th/College has a very bright (and hideously colored) vertical sign right on the corner that is lit up all night long. Is there anything in the city code about illuminated signs? Are they even allowed at residential buildings? What if houses in neighborhoods had such signs broadly announcing the addresses of the houses while being lit up (or maybe even flashing) all night long? This is also an issue at "3-Square" apartments at 916 N. College where there are multiple signs, but they are not nearly as offensive as the others.

I am a resident assistant in Eigenmann Hall right across the street from this convenience store. In the past there (just two months ago) there weren’t any issues with their lights. However, right before students winter break the convenience store installed these new bright white lights. These light shine into my room, making it hard to sleep at night, in addition, while driving and walking it makes it difficult and distracting to drive and cross streets on the roads when the white lights are shining in your eyes. Similar to white high-beams on an interstate highway shining in your eyes in the dark, that is what these remind me of. These lights make it very difficult to sleep in my room, operate along these roads, and walk as I did before (especially now that it gets darker in the day sooner). I’ve had complaints from residents on lower floors of Eigenmann Hall about these lights as they begin returning to the building.

Recent remodel of the rental property - the side yard lights were changed from baffled can lights to security lights which now illuminate our backyard. Would you please advise the property owner or management to have them aim the lights down or reinstall the baffled lights?

This dumpster took off has been here for 3-4 years. The owner is using it as a dump site for his construction projects on his other properties around town. It is an eyesore and it attracts rodents.

Hello,
I regularly ride the bike lane along W 3rd and recently noticed that, at the intersection of W 3rd and the train tracks, the bike lane has been diverted onto the sidewalk.
Could you please explain the reason for this diversion? Prior to the change, I continued through the intersection using the existing bike lane without issue, and I am trying to better understand the purpose and intent behind the new routing.

Why is #206396, regarding this same location nowhere to be found when you type in the case number in Search tickets on the UReport site? Have you investigated what is in those 3 huge sheds on the property, and the vehicles in the back yard, are they operable? Looks like a scrap yard to me.

Why is it acceptable for switch yard park to have a flag sign. Tamales. And also the food truck on old 37? You told my business NO.
Thank you
