  • 615 Sw Jewell Ave Topeka, KS 66606, USA - City of Topeka Council District 1
    The public sidewalk on the east side of the 600 block of Jewell Avenue is in a state of severe disrepair. The sidewalk has many significantly uneven sections, large cracks, and tall weeds and grass growing aggressively through the sections. Entire stretches of the sidewalk are now more cracks and weeds than they are intact concrete. For individuals in a wheelchair or who are unsteady on their feet, this sidewalk presents multiple mobility challenges. This is not a new issue (it's been rough for years) but the weeds and general deterioration have accelerated over the summer months. It is unacceptable for a sidewalk connected to a healthcare facility and owned by a corporate entity with sufficient funds to properly maintain their property to allow the sidewalk they are legally obligated to maintain to remain in this condition.
  • 942 Sw Mulvane St Topeka, KS 66606, USA - City of Topeka Council District 1
    This property was demolished in the past two weeks. What is the plan and timeline for removal of debris and materials from the site? It is a safety hazard and an eyesore. This property is owned by Kent Lindemuth.

    I’ve attached your county photo from 2016 and this house was boarded up then! This person does not maintain their house. The gutters are off, the trees are growing everywhere, grass is overgrown, graffiti was sprayed on the back door (thAt I personally painted over bc it was inappropriate). How can this person continue to keep this house like this? I just purchased the house right next door. Topeka—clean stuff like this up. I’m doing my part by purchasing property and cleaning up. He shouldn’t be allowed to have a boarded up run down house on a block that is looking so great.
