Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
609 S Fess AVE

I reported this last week for the first time. (Case #200875)
I took this new photo this morning, which shows clearly the abundance of water issuing from this drain.
I am confident that this is not simply runoff.
I dealt with a similar complaint about one month ago lodged against a property I help manage for Chickering Rentals at 620 N College.
Turns out, the water was coming from a sink AND a shower inside that house that was connected to a sump pump, and then connect to a downspout extension drain that expelled on the sidewalk. (I identified the issue and the company remedied it the same day it was reported to us.)
It appears that the same thing may be happening at 609 S Fess. There is no explanation as to why so much water would be issuing from a downspout drain at 9am this morning when the temps are less than 10, far below freezing. But you can see in the picture the amount of snow the water has covered and had not yet frozen. I’m guessing if you go out now, it may be frozen. It’s only after it has recently been pumping and expelling that it is still liquid.
The only explanation from what I can tell is it’s coming from inside the property. Either 605 s fess or 609 s fess. I’m guessing that there is a sink or shower inside the house, connected to a sump pump drain, connected to this drain on the sidewalk.
Thanks for your help and attention to this.

The company that installed this created a hazard that could cause an injury when someone gets out of their car etc. This should be removed and filled or fixed.

Poisin Ivy is growing on the Woodlawn side. There is also now poison ivy growing across the street at the house on the NE corner of Woodlawn and First. 730 Woodlawn also has honeysuckle plant that is hanging low over the sidewalk. There are generally a lot of weeds in the yard and the sidewalk has a lot of debris on it.

There is a tree/shrub along the sidewalk growing low foliage that is blocking the line of site when you are turning left onto 2nd Street from Lincoln Street.

The alley between 423 and 425 S grant st needs some attention. There are pot holes and many bad areas. We have repaved our lots already.

What the heck is up with this sidewalk repair? It's been torn up for almost a month! I would hate to be one of the residents in that area with the orange cones and equipment left in the street. With the decent weather we've had this winter, you'd think projects such as this would be completed quicker.
