Sidewalk Snow Removal

300 E 11th ST

Case Date:
1/14/2025

This property had snow on the sidewalks for a week, as did all properties in the neighborhood under Parker Management. The issue was reported to HAND early on, but by the time they acted on it the snow had turned into glaciers that are nearly impossible to remove, and they did so by issuing a fine to the tenants of the property on the first day of the semester and when no shovels are available in any store, whereas they should be fining the *property owner* as per City Code: "6.07.010 - Snow and ice removal—Duty of abutting property owner." (Note especially the 36"-wide path requirement.) The Lincoln side of the property is still not shoveled. Will HAND issue daily fines to the management until they comply with the City ordinance?

Is the City responsible for retaining walls alongside walkways or does it fall on adjacent property owners to maintain them? On the Lincoln side of this property there is an old wall that is just about to collapse. It seems that if a team of masons got in there now prior to its failure, they might be able to take it apart somehow and reset it so that it will last another 130 years. But if it were to fall on its own, the stones would likely all break up and be useless trash. Property owner (Parker Rentals) is aware of the potential problem, but they do not seem to care. The surrounding area has many retaining walls that add character to the community. It would be great if this one could be saved.

Unsafe Buildings

A part of the old stone retaining wall on the Lincoln side of this lot is just about to collapse. It looks like it's leaning at a 46 degree angle. If anyone is sitting on it or just walking by when it does fall, someone is going to get sued.

Excessive Growth

More tree-of-heaven for HAND to deal with. It is coming up on the west side of this house, as it has done for years. Only a few feet tall at present, but it must be eradicated because it is a prohibited plant. While there, you might check the dense overgrowth between 300 and 306 E. 11th. There could be other prohibited plants lurking in that mess - maybe bush honeysuckle. But be careful of the retaining wall along Lincoln - it's just about to collapse.

Tree-of-heaven that was alongside house has been cut, but there remains tree-of-heaven and poison ivy growing right by the sidewalk out of the side of the soon-to-collapse retaining wall, right where passersby can brush up against it.

Traffic Signals

254 N Walnut ST

Case Date:
9/11/2024

The Audio Pedestrian Signals at this intersection aren't working. I got this complain from someone who is blind who said "When crossing from the west moving east across walnut, it’s a bit dangerous because as a blind person, I am listening for my parallel traffic to move when that traffic signal activates the traffic to move, and especially on that left hand turn onto Walnut, the pedestrian signal is not activated as the parallel traffic is… The pedestrian signal seems to be delayed… That’s dangerous, especially if the audible signal is not working or loud enough to be heard… When I hear that parallel traffic move I take that as my signal to cross the street…" We checked them out and we don't hear audio, except a weak "wait" at the southwest corner.
