286 is a rental. The tenants repeatedly fail to take their trash to the curb. It is causing a fly infestation. The owner of the property won't do anything about it, so we bagged the trash ourselves after we paid our exterminator to come spray our basement for the flies coming from their garbage. We previously called 311 but the complaint (#3855618) was recorded incorrectly as failure to pick up garbage. this is not a failure on the part of city services, this is an issue with residents violating several codes:

I would very much appreciate it if code enforcement could do something to help these residents understand it absolutely IS their responsibility to dispose of their garbage properly and take the bins to the curb on the appropriate day.

House is vacant, boarded up, broken windows at ground level. The roof and 2nd floor have been completely removed. House is covered in a giant blue tarp. No activity for months.

Home caught on fire towards the end of November 2017, a week afterwards demolition/construction took place(gutting the home), 1-2 weeks later there was no activity and over a year later the home in the same state. The tarp that was placed over the top of the structure has torn so much so from the weather, until pieces can be found on the ground in surrounding yards. The structure is unlivable and not secured, which has created health and safety concerns. Above all this is an eye sore, one that has been reported by other neighbors.

This place has been abandoned for many years with no lights on or utilities on. Vagrants and trespassers sleep there as it open constantly, particularly in the back upstairs entrance. House is a magenta for drug use in the large abandon area which borders a residential neighborhood with children. The lower toof area is not blocked off. Graffiti, some profane and some gang related is constantly being sprayed on there. It is increasing as well. The owner leaves it there. Windows are out and easily accessible. The yard and the entire lot is unkempt with tall grass and weeds. Derelict abandoned property. Unsanitary.

House fire happened towards the end of November
2017, structure has been in same state since 12/2017. Windows are broken, home is not secure - board in back of home has been removed. Health and safety concerns are present.

current home construction not conforming to RU-1 zoning- conversion into multifamily home in violation of district zoning

(This was originally posted as South Parkway which was wrong address)

Property not being maintained - needs to be addressed. This is ridiculous, please fine this owner

New driveway expansion in front of house no permit on record

Boarding house in ru-1 zone area- noted visible drug use and prostitution

The guardrails do not meet code and are very dangerous for children

These tenants of Olivia Purdue's REFUSE to take their trash to the curb AND they curse at me when I ask them to take it out. It smells SO BAD. It's not the problem of the trash service, it's the residents.

Trash on porch and in yard. Property in general, long-standing disrepair.
