Residents voiced their concerns during a recent government meeting regarding the deteriorating conditions of a local property managed by an out-of-town landlord. Issues highlighted included persistent littering behind the buildings, inadequate lighting due to a missing street lamp, and severely damaged sidewalks.

Community members expressed frustration over the lack of maintenance, emphasizing their pride in the neighborhood and the desire for improvements. They noted that while the city is responsible for the street lighting, the property owner is accountable for the sidewalk conditions.

The property owner is reportedly looking to sell, which residents view as a positive development, hoping for a more responsible owner who will collaborate with the community to enhance the area. Local council members are aware of the situation and have initiated fines for the property’s neglect, although it remains unclear if these fines are being addressed.

The community's call for action reflects a broader desire for a cleaner, safer environment that attracts visitors and fosters local business.
