An abandoned car has been sitting in the backyard for several years.

This orange neon was left in front of our house a week and a half ago. The owner said it would only be a couple of days but we haven’t seen or spoken to him since. We park our 2 vehicles in front of the house and this car is making it difficult.
People are sleeping/living in a van. Both non-working vehicles have been flagged for towing, but not towed. Also, suspected drug use going on inside the van.
There are 4 grade schoolers and a toddler living at 1402 W 8th. Several residents in Waterman push strollers. A blind man and his service dog walk to/from his home on West 8th. Drivers occasionally reach 50 mph on 8th street. A "slow children" sign might slow them down.
This property continues to add to the trash and debris in their yard. It coninutally blows onto my property and around to other neighbor's property, too. 156 days has passed since this was last reported. WHY has it taken so long?! There are several grocery carts, a large screen tv and a new addition this week is a refrigerator. The refrigerator could have been picked up by the city, but no. They probably never requested that to be picked up. It is SO FRUSTRATING to have this yard a complete mess and is embarrassing to have friends over. It is PAST TIME to do something about this!
Occupants have been erecting numerous structures made of pallets, wood, and tarps throughout their property for several weeks. The backyard seems completely full of these shanties. Their "construction" continues throughout much of the evening many days of the week, often extending to 10:00pm or later. The banging and power tool noise is a nuisance and the many structures they are creating seem very unsafe, especially for the children that are seen/heard playing there.
I dunno if this guy hasn't paid his bill or what? But we live across in 401 n Adams and we have worked really hard to try and keep our yard up. It seems like every single week now I've gone and had to pick his trash can up he has no bags and it just blows everywhere. Our family doesn't deserve to one deal with all the trouble the homeless bring because he won't put up any no trespassing signs and two to constantly be picking up after someone else that neglects there property
A rubber boot is on the ground by the power pole. It appears to be an insulator.
