City of Decatur PLUS

We have noticed the presence of a new loud noise in
Decatur. ,,,Just east of Sycamore and Church on the north side of Sycamore is a fenced area (perhaps 10' x 30') from which a loud continuous noise is being emittedl. It sounds somewhat like a large industrial fan. When walking by on the sidewalk in front of it, I get a sound level of approx 80 dB, well above noise ordinance limits.

Please advise .

Note: there is graffiti on other side of this dumpster too. Across from Kelly's market parking lotT

The city has received multiple reports of unmoved, junk cars parked at the Feld and Leyden intersection. SeeClickFix shows records of these reports since October of 2021. Still, nothing has been done. It is unsafe for pedestrians trying to pass through the intersection, and since so many kids in Oakhurst walk to school through that intersection, I would expect the city to take immediate action, not wait two years to rectify the problem.

Noisy trash collection outside of former Taziki restaurant at 5am several times a week on Ponce De Leon Pl. Residential apartments are right above the collection, loud enough to wake. This same issue was helpfully resolved at the end of 2017 (thank you!) (https://en.seeclickfix.com/issues/3904979-code-violations), but the problem has started again. Appreciate any help!

Violation of Article III, Sections 54.56-54.57 on-going for years and it's getting worse.

Around lunchtime, and other times of day, various people go and they steal electricity from the city by plugging in their cell phones. The available access needs to be removed. This should no longer available to those who know the outlet is there by the garage for the city maintenance. Typically the un-housed. They also leave behind their trash. (Not all do, but many do).

Most recently, someone defecated near the park bench by the tennis courts, for my dog to eat it. This has also happened at Sycamore Park. I am so tired of the flagrant human waste that we the residents have to tolerate due to increasing unhoused populations. The numbers are increasing as is the impact they are having on sanitation and safety.

Note: a resident of the Arlo apartment complex said an unhoused person slept in the garage on the 6th floor with a machete.

This is not good. We need more cameras. Less loitering. And facilities away from the businesses downtown to help these people. Tourism to Decatur is important and these impressions do not help the businesses nor the residents.

Article III - 54.56 (prohibited conditions) -54.57 (storage of abandoned vehicles and junk) - many violations.

I went to the end of Greenwood Ave to see how issue ID: 15103423 had been addressed by the City of Decatur. The code violation post was "acknowledged" 4 months after the issue was reported and then "closed" 1.5 months after that by Decatur Public Works. Absolutely nothing has been done to address the issues, and it's a worse dumping ground in and around the creek than when it was reported 6.5 months ago. Why is issue ID: 15103423 closed?

This Ford Focus with New Jersey plates has been abandoned on our dead end street for over 2 months when the neighbor moved away. He has made no attempt to have it moved nor has he been back to the vehicle since he moved away over 2 months ago. This car is taking up what very limited street parking we have on this dead end street. Thank you for your time.

The house has numerous wall of roof problems and has for several years. From the photo, you can see holes in the roof and the back wall collapsing. There is also a makeshift fence or wall made of junk and trash along the side of the property.
