    The neighbor still has many junk cars / trucks stored on the empty lot. He parked them next to the poor dentist office. Doesn't make them look professional or in a good neighbor hood.

    About 3 trucks and 2 cars. All appear broken and bad plates. One is even missing many parts. He also has ones stored on the street. So check for bad or out of area plates.

    We been asking for this to be resolved for 10 years. Well documented here. Any reason why the city can't shut down this illegal junk yard, storage yard, tow yard, and repair shop ? Repair shops need to be licensed on concrete or ashphalt and then work done in a building. with fence.

    Anyone else tired of this ? Feel free to post pictures too.

    The new landlord of 7319 Marshall Ave. came onto my property when I was not home and attached his fence to my face. When approached, both the landlord and the handman went inside and refused to answer the door.

    Wood fence on North side of property is not secured to any post. It is just leaning against the chain-link fence that is also out of code because it is over 5 foot high. The wood fence has nail sticking out towards the neighbor side as it leans on the chain-link fence encroaching on the neighbors property, this fence needs to be brought up to code. Also it has pieces of wire from the chain-link fence sticking out just like the nail sticking out of the wood fence. A serious injury is going to occur not to mention these fences are not supposed to be over 5 feet this fence is 5'6" needs to be taken down and brought into compliance and the sharp wires and nails need to be addressed immediately along with the leaning fence that is going to fall onto the neighbors property and damage vehicles, watercraft, and trailers

    The neighbors have erected 12 foot high plywood by putting garbage cans on ladders mailing plywood to flimsy wooden post .These unsafe structures are made from a bunch of scrap plywood and particleboard. They have caused damage to the fence on the adjoining neighbors property .You can also see the picture that they have a bundled of electrical cords mounted to the neighbors fence
    All of this is completely against code and is creating an unsafe structure and a fire hazard. It has already damaged the property and needs immediate attention. Non o i rea i fo outdoortmhow
