Huge pile of trash outside 1420 Edison

I discovered the spray paint on this business two weeks ago when I visited the neighboring Boston Market. The employees at Boston Market explained the spray paint has been on the building for over three months. As you can see from the pictures what has been spray painted on the building is politically charged.

After seeing this I reached out to the manager of the complex, Marcel Pearl, by phone and email. He responded and said the owners do not know how to remove the graffiti and do not have a date in mind as to when it will be removed. The presence of this spray paint defacing images of black people only strengths the present political divides in our country and community. I hope that a blight violation from the City will motivate the business to respect the community it is in and remove the spray paint immediately. As my communications have been unsuccessful.

Best,

Alley is becoming incredibly overgrown in alley behind 2007 W. Boston. Rats/rodents are starting to be noticed by neighbors. Please notify residents of that address to clean it up or ticket them for not alley blight.

Someone constantly dumps garbage at on both sides of the alley off of Woodrow Wilson between Atkinson and Edison.

This owner continues to dump trash, tree branches etc behind his house on 36 Edison. He has no fence in the backyard and his dog has gotten loose many times. The dog is tied now to a link and lays in the mud.

once again the east alley on Woodrow Wilson between Edison and Atkinson is being used as a dump site

cars speeding 70+ mph down Linwood and LaSalle, sometimes side streets like Edison and Longfellow

The residents at 1705 West Boston Blvd. continually dump their bulk trash on the median.

Tree Issue: Resident called to report a lot of tree debris left from the August storm. There are debris piles from Woodward to Oakland on E. Boston Blvd.

Plowing needed throughout Boston-Edison neighborhood.

There is a dead tree (dead for three years) on 98 Edison Street, which is a side lot to 90 Edison Street. I spoke to my neighbor but she told me to f-off. The tree roots look like they are coming out of the ground. This tree is 14 feet from my kitchen widow. No matter which way it falls people can get hurt or die from the neglect by my neighbor.
