I have not heard a peep from anyone other that WSMV regarding this outrageous eyesore in an otherwise rapidly improving section of our city. This abandonded building of some 32 years is a magnet for dope heads and dope deals, people living inside, vermin of every description, etc. I am glad that the government can go out and remove some four month old brush from someone's roadside, but this is blatantly overlooked. You would do well to shoot about five minutes of B roll on this, and do a little research re: ownership, unpaid taxes, tax breaks because of its abandoned and unusable condition. This is not only an asthetic nightmare; it is also a drain on the city's coffers in more ways than one.
Thank you for following up on this dump located on Gallatin Road in East Nashville.

I personally have not seen or heard of this property. If you could provide me with an address I would gladly assist you.

Karene,
It is across the street from the Krogers at Greenwood, behind the Family Dollar, the old Hollywood Video, and partially adjacent to Inglewood UMC.
Thanks

Karene,
First of all, congratulations on a smashing re-election victory. I'm sorry you are no longer my council rep. I just got back from the location in question. It is at the juncture of Home Road and Baxter Street. Someone has cleaned up around the place since I first complained. However, it gets a new load of junk and debris every week or so. The only thing down there on the property is a pile of several old flat tires. It's right in front of the fence that encircles the building. Thanks for looking into this,
Bill Covington

I'm not sure who you think I am - but I am not a council representative,m but rather a Codes & Building eSafety employee. Codes has not received a request for this locaiton since 2010. The address is question is 3501 Baxter Street. Codes notified the owner to maintain the yard area, keep ot clean from any junk, trash or debris and to make specific repairs to meet the minimum requirements of the code - which was done on December 9, 2010 and Codes closed the case file.

If you were reporting illegal dumping and the grounds not being maintained, that would have been reported to Metro Health at that time - not Codes. I will be happy to submit a request for the illegal dumping on the property.
