Disgusting amounts of trash on side of house
Excessive trash on the side of the house and on the back patio
Large (20+ ') Ailanthus altissima (so-called "tree of heaven", noxious and prohibited) trees growing on NE corner of lot, close to sidewalks. Another opportunity for HAND to connect with residents and make more friends.
Japanese knotweed (prohibited plant) growing on north end of lot, close to and visible from the alley. Another opportunity for HAND to connect with residents and make more friends.
In the alley between 8th street and 9th street along Lincoln and Washington, towards 9th street, this is a large pothole on the north side. Also there is some loose pavement behind 417 N Lincoln St.
This house has had several bags of trash in their yard for over a month. Animals have gotten into it and spread it around and instead of putting it in their trash cans (which are right next to the torn bags) they continue to ignore it and trash has been spreading down the sidewalk and the street.
Two dead branches have now fallen from this tree. One in the winter and now one in March that fell on a car now covering the sidewalk
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.
Several potholes on North Washington between 9th and 10th Streets.
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.
