Description
This is unacceptable! The black building on michigan, the two houses the same owners purchased behind the building on cicotte (two houses one lot) and the red house 4095 are dumping onto this open lot. For SEVEN YEARS we have done everything to have this issues addressed and the city WILL NOT take care of this lot- two of these parcels are owned by the city!!!!! As residents it is not our job to clean YOUR property. It is dangerous- there are used drug paraphernalia throughout the lot making cleanup a biological hazard that you the city are putting on the residents. Eva Torres has been contacted about this lot for years and has done NOTHING to help rectify the situation. The grass is now growing over the trash as we have told her it would. If nothing is done the media will be called out to discuss the blatant and intentional disregard for our neighborhood. We as a community are at the end of the rope here. Where do the mayor and Eva Torres live? I ask because they dont have to wake up every single day and come home every single day to a city that disrespects its residents in such a demeaning way. Would they like all of this trash on their yard and in their neighborhoods?!?! You have hundreds of residents VERY FURIOUS!!! We know the laws, we know what has not been done, we know it all. We have friends and family members working in city departments letting us know- point blank- what is going on down here planning wise and what youre doing to the residents by proxy. Detroit, you have some extremely intelligent individuals living in this area now and we know the system. If you keep ignoring us we will take action against the city.

Um yeah I don’t have your number. My husband tried contacting in the past and never heard back.
No one is crying or whining. We’ve been here for years and seen how the city treats its residents. You have not been here.
If you’d like to help by all means we’d love the lots cleaned. Others that illegal dump don’t care that there is a dumpster, even if it’s a few feet from them. They’re used to blight not ticketing them so they keep doing it.
The argument is with the city not us.

We just cleaned up the lot because we want our families to be In a clean and safe space. The landlord we are renting from upgraded the lights outside and has been super receptive to any ideas and concerns we have about the blight across the street, even letting us fill it up with the dumpster across the road for the community clean-up.
It's not all construction debris. It's just garbage from people at night by the strip club hanging out and pregaming before they head down. I've been here working late and had to check some people. The big stuff is really from people just dumping, there is so much stuff all around the fields.
It would be great for all of us to be on the same page to maintain it. I guarantee that debris wasn't from them, just some idiots dumping at wild times of the night. If you're from the neighborhood, you know the city takes forever to get things done; lifelong resident advice-> organize with your neighbors handle it ourselves. I agree to keep applying pressure to town but on our neighbors.

Thank you MCSDA ! For what you do for the neighborhood. I was born/raised in SW and know the building owners, they are very hands on and care about the neighborhood doubt they are dumping.
It’s easy for us to voice our opinions online but takes more effort to actually take care of problems with our own hands. Let’s be a solution instead of echoing the same song about the city not doing their job, that’s a given! It’s our neighborhood if the city won’t take care of it we have to.

This app is called “improve Detroit” so the city is trying to “improve” their shortcomings. If an area has specific and constant issues then the city needs to know. They have the funds and resources to do something. This is a hard working neighborhood that works long hours. To put it constantly on the residents is not realistic to the growth of a city. Yes, the neighborhood has to do their best, but the city does as well.
This should be an app for drawing attention to problem areas. (Great example is the drag racing down Michigan Ave) because people can get hurt. The report was for 4095 and various other complaints that the entire street has. Lets use this app to IMPROVE Detroit and not for any other reason. The issue has been dealt with. End of thread.
