City of Decatur PLUS

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

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 .

Townhouse are supposed to maintain swale but aren't. Clogged and overflowing into my yard and neighbors yard. Reported to city a few years ago and they got cited but never fixed it. Water is washing out my yard and plants

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!

In the Marlay parking lot

The residents of 120 Candler Dr are routinely burning trash next to their home instead of putting it out for collection. This is creating noxious smoke that is entering homes on the street and is also causing a fire hazard.

Owner died garage is dangerous leaning

RV trailer parked for months in street. Blocks traffic and field of vision while driving around RV trailer.

This house has visibly deteriorated over the past 3 years. The grass and weeds in the yard are at least a foot high. This building should be condemned and demolished!

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.
