House is unsecured and falling apart. No one appears to live there.
House is unsecured and falling apart. No one appears to live there.
The tree in front of the house is dead and a hazard. I tried to contact the homeowner's directly, but the phone number I had was incorrect. It fell on my house 2 years ago, it damaged their tenant's car. I'm worried that it will fall on my house again and may injure someone. This tree needs to be removed.
Tarp covered plywood structure between end building and Polly Grimshaw trail. Can be seen from the trail. Location is approximate.
The front porch rails are broken out, the rails appear to be unstable, sagging and possibly rotted. The porch sets up high above grade where the porch rails are out. There is a young child living in the house. This presents a danger. Jeff Jones/Pendragon owns this property. This has been the case for the past 2+ years. This family is a new renter and this was not repaired between renters.
Landlord does not keep retaining wall or vegetation off of sidewalk, making passage difficult for wheelchairs and baby strollers.
Attempted occasional renovation work at 101 S Jefferson St is leaving the structure open for weeks at a time. There is clear line of sight from 5th street into the main structure. I believe there is a permit displayed. The climbing vines are covering the openings faster than the construction crew.
Backside of Yorktown Courts apartment building has back wood tri-level-deck that has center-vertical, main-support beam, sinking into ground so much that the 2nd & 3rd-floor decks are dangerously straining their connections to the building and interconnections to the whole structure, to a degree that the strain of the back-porches poses a risk of collapsing under strain. The location of these wood decks, face towards to animal veterinary clinic on N. Smith Rd. Center-support-post requires jacking up & leveling of decks after a new& properly poured foiter-base is installed for new center support beam to be placed under 2nd-story deck.
Imansions owned by Granite has missing flashing around roof-side missing that allows water to leak into walls sand what seems like roofing material pulled up on roof, directly behind front building's exposed roof side. This located at top-right roofline while looking at building from front from street.
House in disrepair, windows and doors cannot be shut or locked. People going in and out. Owner does not live there. Also trash outside.
After multiple attempts to ask property management at Reserve on Third to fix broken refrigerators, ovens that are causing fires, electric coming on and off in random apartments and to fix broken fire alarms, it is going unnoticed and it is a safety concern for all residents. At this time I am speaking for building 11 3rd floor, but there are others as well.
