RE: Complaints about the upkeep of our property.
Thank you for your correspondence:
Please send us all complaints about the reclamation of our property. This is a Freedom of
Information Request. We request all complaints about the property from 1999 to date. Thank
you...
We recently reacquired the property in 2007. Since that time we have made considerable
progress on" cleaning" up the property. In fact, we have cleaned it up so much that is all is left is
recyclables on our property. We have inquired about picking them up, with no response until the
metal prices are better. We are storing the sorted recyclables which are our property until such a
time as the price of metal improves. That is our right as property owners and in no way a
"nuisance ".
The house at 16145 Railway has been an ongoing slum for years and /or needed to be condemned
or repaired. But, was left vacant and an eyesore for seven plus years. To the point where our
property was vandalized. We contacted the owner ... no response... We will provide e -mail
correspondence.
We have lots of pics when the place was a complete mess from 1999 to 2007 ... no complaints
from any neighbors..... or the City..

All neighboring property owners have been happy to see our efforts. No complaints from any
adjoining property owners, only compliments...
We are so happy that the City is finally interested in helping citizens within their community.
However, the City never stepped forward when 16145 Railway was a slum and we encountered
vandalism at 16135 Railway Rd, because of their abandoned house. We made complaints about
the property ... no response?
Also, we are requesting that you (or the HOA) access property to the Woodfield Plat Stormwater
pond ... There are exotic species there that need to be removed before they spread to our
property ... In fact they already are ... please take care of that issue...
To recap:
Please:
Provide all complaints against 16135 Railway Rd
Provide all permits issued to 16145 Railway Rd
Provide the access agreement to Woodfield's stormwater pond for maintenance.
Thanks much
Have a good day .... Let me know if you need my attorney's contact info...
Take care
