    The street light in front of 420 W. Berry Ave. is flickering and possibly the bulb needs to be replaced.
  • 3331 S. Washington Ave. Lansing, MI - Lansing
    There's a white Pontiac Grand Am with no license plate sitting in the driveway of 3331 S. Washington Ave. Tall weeds are growing around this vehicle, indicating that it hasn't been driven for some time. It's the gateway to Lansing via Washington Avenue. Let's get it fixed and take pride in the southside.
  • Hodge And Tenny Lansing Charter Township, MI - Lansing

    The following streets are in desperate need of a street-sweeper to clean the curbside organic matter in front of the sewer grates:

    *Dunlap Street
    *Astor Avenue
    *West Hodge Avenue
    *West Berry Avenue
    *Tenny Street
    *Palmer Street
    *Stabler Street

    On May 25, I went for a walk around the neighborhood. Upon hitting the West Berry Avenue-Palmer Street intersection, I observed an elderly neighbor attempting to clean the organic matter build-up on the sewer grate in front of her house with a snowshovel.

    The smell was terrible and the weight of the clean-up was beyond what she could have ever picked up. Upon observation, it was apparent most of the grates in the aforementioned area are clogged.

    The neighbor said a recent rain caused water to back-up into the street.

    The street-sweeper has been a rare sight in this neighborhood. And there is worry that the lack of short-term maintenance will cause further long-term problems.

    Note: Most neighbors clean the grates adjacent to their homes; however, there are quite a few neighbors who cannot do this task because of age and physical limitations.

  • 514 W. Berry Ave. Lansing Charter Township, MI - Lansing

    Since the acquisition of a new motorcycle, the homeowner of this address has been zipping up and down West Berry Avenue at excessive speeds. After a few calls to the Lansing Police Department, the motorcycle seems to have mostly slowed down, but still has its moments by driving and parking on the sidewalk.

    The sidewalk parking could be a violation of MCL 750.419.

    The neighbors on West Berry Avenue are severely fed up with this houses' antics. Although LPD has been notified, we're using this forum in hope it sheds light on the problem.

    The western-most driveway has a light-blue Lincoln next to a black car by the house. This vehicle has deflated tires.

  • 621 W. Hodge Ave. Lansing Charter Township, MI - Lansing

    This property is ripe for a violation. It was foreclosed upon in 2008 and acquired in 2009 for the low-bargain price of $20,000. Since the acquisition, the back yard is only mowed only a few times a year.

    The grass in the back yard is in excess of 8 inches tall. Rats, groundhogs and ducks proudly call this wildlife habitat their home.

    (See attached photo.)

    Also, there's a white S-10 or GMC pickup that hasn't moved a long time parked on the grass of the front yard. It possibly has a tree growing out of the back bed.

    Those who put a little work into their yard would love to see something done.

  • 426 W. Berry Ave. Lansing Charter Township, MI - Lansing

    This house has been red-tagged since 2008. And the grass how now hit knee-high proportions.

    There are possibly cats or other rodents living in the building. A basement window is unsecured behind a bush, enabling access to the building.

    Picture will be posted when available.

    Does this property qualify under City of Lansing Codified Ordinance 1460.13, "Expedited rehabilitation or removal process; assistance to property owners"?

  • 808 Southland Lansing Charter Township, MI - Lansing

    There's a white Chevrolet Corsica or similar make sitting abandoned and disabled in the parking lot of 808 or 805 Southland. A tire is flat and the license plate has been ripped off. It looks like this vehicle has been sitting in this location for some time.
