City of Hammond PLUS

7505 Has two junk vehicles (maroon Mustang and maroon truck) that are being used as storages. Both vehicles are not plated and have broken windows that animals continue to go in and out of. The vehicles are a constant eyesore to the whole neighborhood (Ordinance 106.01). The trash he places on/and around the vehicles is constantly getting blown into everyone's yard. This residence is not a permitted junk yard (Ordinance 118.04) either. Below is more pictures. Thank you.

Subject: Urgent Action Required: Code Enforcement Violation - Nuisance Caused by Neighbor’s Lighting
Head of Code Enforcement

I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a pressing matter regarding a flagrant violation of residential property regulations in our neighborhood. The situation at hand pertains to the placement and operation of high-intensity work lights by our neighbors, which are causing significant disturbances and hazards to our property and well-being.

The placement of these lights within close proximity to our residence, with their beams extending well above legal limits, constitutes a clear infringement on the established regulations regarding property boundaries and nuisance ordinances. The adverse effects resulting from this infringement are manifold and cannot be overstated.

Firstly, the intense illumination emanating from these lights has led to the deterioration of our property, evidenced by the fading of paint on our house exterior and damage to the vinyl of our windows. Moreover, the excessive brightness penetrating through our windows not only compromises our privacy but also poses a direct threat to our safety, as indicated by the elevated temperature and subsequent fading of paint on our front door.

Furthermore, the directed positioning of these lights towards our driveway poses an imminent danger to vehicular ingress and egress, impeding our ability to navigate our property safely. Additionally, the blinding and disorienting effect of the lights renders traversing the vicinity of our residence perilous, denying us the rightful enjoyment of our property as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.

In light of these egregious violations and the resultant adverse impacts on our property and well-being, I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this situation. It is imperative that the necessary enforcement measures be enacted promptly to compel our neighbors to cease and desist from their non-compliant practices and to restore peace and security to our neighborhood.

I trust in your commitment to upholding the integrity of our community and ensuring compliance with the established regulations governing residential properties. Your swift intervention in this matter is crucial to safeguarding our rights as homeowners and preserving the sanctity of our neighborhood.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Sincerely,

Car parked in yard on grass again.

people from Iowa has moved in with the folks that live there.
was told there are anywhere from 8 to 11 people living in a 3 bedroom house. was told they moved in about a month and half ago. the red car has Iowa plates.

Still a mess. Btw who is responsible for removing this up rooted tree root pulling up the dirt and all. Been that way long time. It just helps collect more trash.

Trash everywhere The whole neighborhood has to clean up after them There's like 12-15 people living in the building with only 2 garbage and 2 recycling bins They should be forced to pay for more containers instead of the neighbors having to clean up after them They routinely toss large objects around the containers including car parts, furniture and general junk in the alley and leave it to the neighbors to get taken care of It is not unusual to find soiled diapers in the alley They have 13 cars, at least 4 of which are inoperable, and several Illinois plates cars which are parked in front of four houses This building has become a nuisance in the neighborhood u

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.
