Side Walk is Falling In-Trash Open

2218 Hagert St Philadelphia, PA - Kensington

This house is a hot mess. There is a leak/stream of water coming from the back yard that's so powerful it's causing the side walk to cave in slightly in the front of the house.

Also, there is a huge pile of trash/rubble sitting in front yard behind a broken fence. I've seen rats scampering from the pile of trash/rubble into the holes on the side walk!

In addition, there is a constant stream of intoxicated people coming in and out of this house at all hours. I'm assuming the drug baggies all over the side walk are from said residents/visitors.

  The mattress is back. And it's been out all week. I thought for sure they'd drag it out for trash day.

  The mattress is STILL there and has been rained on several times. I'm not sure if that's an actual 311 problem...but it's completely gross. They yard is also a mess. The pile of dirt and trash with a tarp on it hasn't moved in months, it's just collecting more trash.
  
  Sidewalk: Still sinking. Visibly worse.
  
  On the bright side: I haven't seen activity in house for a few weeks. Maybe they've all scattered to drug houses not on my block?! In which case who do we call to get it boarded up!?

Dog poop in back yard Open

2006 E Firth St Philadelphia, PA 19125, USA - Kensington

There is a ton of dog poop left in this back yard, can be viewed and smelled from back alley. I smell it from my backyard, making it unpleasant to spend time in my own yard. Will get even worse with the heat!!!

  I tried to reply before but it's not showing. Long story short, I have a friend who lives on the street and received bodily threats and property damage from crossing the wrong people on that block. And my neighbor has had dog feces thrown at his back door (not sure by who).I have no interest in putting myself in a similar sitatuation.

  This sounds gross but wait till the middle of the night when no one is up, scoop of the poop and put it on thier porch!

  While I see your point, do you have reason to believe that this neighbor will retaliate?
  
  The reason I ask -- it is going to be extremely difficult to get the city to respond here. I know from experience on the dog poop thing!

  I just called 311, they said that this falls under L&I and supposedly they will send somebody out to inspect. There is a publically accesable back alley and their propery has chain link fence, so hopefully this is easy to check. If anybody else could call and complain, that would be helpful. Thanks!

Teenage kid selling weed Open

2205 Sepviva St Philadelphia, PA 19125, USA - Kensington

I have called 911 and the police station with times of day, plate numbers, descriptions of people coming and going and nothing has happened. I haven't contacted the landlord because he is a slim ball and I don't want to put my house in jeopardy. I will try the councilman's office. Any other ideas?

  Keep calling 911 with plate numbers, and get your neighbors to do the same.
  Calling the councilman couldn't hurt either.

  The man renting the house overdosed and died. No idea what happened to his kid. Inside the house was a dog that hadn't been walked in weeks (lots of dog poo everwhere), bed bugs, flees,roaches and pizza boxes. Really?

Report trash, litter and dumping in your neighborhood Open

151 West Susquehanna Ave Philadelphia, PA - Kensington

people park their cars, turn their radios to the loudest volume possible, eat their fast food, and then leave the trash all along the side of Norris Sq. park. I'm sick of cleaning up other people's trash. Go act that way in front of your OWN house.

  It's the occupants of the rentals on block. The landlord does not supply them with a place to store their trash.

  This is still happening. The renters need to take it up with their landlord or put their trash in front of their own house in a can.
