City of Lansing PLUS

The owners and residents of this property are trying to rent out this house without a license or inspection. Also, the backyard has not been mowed all summer. There is debris, broken items, and trash all over the backyard.

Trash Bins on Linval Street side never leave the curb. Tall grass/weeds

Boat is parked in the street - middle of 400 block of Regent

We have had barricades around a hole from a broken water main in the street in front of our home for months. The concrete forms for the curb have been in place for three weeks... waiting... waiting... Today four city workers showed up at 8:00 am to await the HiGrade Concrete truck. When the truck showed up at 10:06 he made a 15 minute pour. I asked the worker when he received his work order for this job and he told me 9:45 am. So the city workers were here, the truck driver arrived in a timely fashion with his concrete, did a 15 minute pour and everything is just fine... WRONG! I called HiGrade Concrete and asked why this work order was not scheduled until 9:45 and was told "We had some bigger orders to fill and we do the big jobs first." Someone explain to me please why four city workers have to sit in their trucks for two hours while HiGrade sends concrete when they get around to it. Does the city not rank high enough on their list of jobs to get things scheduled correctly? Maybe we need to find another concrete company for the city, a company that respects the number of jobs the city throws their way. This little curb job with a 15 minute, maybe two yard pour max, with four city workers sitting around at who knows how much per hour, times EIGHT (2 hours x four workers) is a HUGE WASTE OF THE TAXPAYERS MONEY! I place the blame entirely with the dispatch scheduler at HiGrade. Please someone look into this. It is not an isolated incident. This type of waste is ridiculous.

let me know ok what the next one is

There is a lot of overnight parking on our block. Citations used to be given for that. If that's still the rule, then a little enforcement might cut down on the problem. Thank you.

When it rains the water backs Up. Can't flush or run water ever since they did work on our street.

The city came to repair a sinking part of the street in front of my home about two weeks ago. This was the result of a water main break this past winter. The road began to sink and the curb and street now need repairs. While the worker was digging, so they could install a new curb, the power line to our street light and 2 others was hit. This would not be a huge concern, except for safety in the neighbor but when it rains the light come back on. This is a HUGE issue and very dangerous. With the large amounts of rain that we have been getting the line is conducting electricity through the water. Another neighbor lodged a complaint with the BWL that we had no street lights. The BWL stated they had no record of the lights being out and that Lansing City worker is to notify them if they cut the line. I have an 8 year old that was very awe stricken by the "big" pond in the front of the house and did put their feet in it and played. Today when the BWL came to look at the problem they stated that the light was drawing 90 volts. Do I really want that going through my child or anyone else in the neighborhood? The road had been torn up too long, the curb needs to be fixed, we would like to fix our lawn and we would like to have working street lights.
