Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
730 N Walnut ST
- Case Date:
- 3/17/2025
A sewage like smell coming from the west sidewalk of the 730 building by the N Walnut St, it happens every evenings around 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and sometimes in the midnight. The smell usually last for 1 - 5 minutes and appears again in every other 30 minutes. I'm a resident here. By verbal communication, three other residents here also confirmed that they've found the similar smell. They also mentioned the smell like "restaurant". Please let us know if there're actions we could take.

There is a large, bed-like object that has been lying in a gully in the backyard of this property for at least a year, though it's not obvious that it is indeed on this property rather than on property that belongs to 214 or 216 E. Cottage Grove. It is right by the alley.
