City of Tacoma - Neighborhood and Community - Community Service Division PLUS

The old Skippers restaurant on the corner continues to be an awful eyesore to the neighborhood btwn tagging, trash, and general disrepair. Fencing that was there is completely gone now. It's awful to have to look at every single day

Severely overgrown vegetation on private property. Animal and pest issue. Overgrown vegetation is growing into neighboring yards. Over a year with no improvement. Getting worse.

Garbage everywhere, tents, people living in a abandon gated building, fires being started at nighttime near apartment complex, drugs, screaming and yelling. GET THIS NONSENSE OUT OF THIS AREA.

This empty building burned down over a month ago and there has been no removal of the asbestos filled debris and charred remains. I live in the apartment building next door and I can smell burned, toxic odors 24/7. I have even developed a deep cough!!!

I realize insurance adjusters may need to inspect but we all know the group of squatting, homeless drug addict people that were living inside the abandoned building are the ones who burned it down. IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP!

Random homeless people and metal scrappers are climbing over the fences and digging for junk. While they are digging they are further spreading more asbestos ashes in the air and throwing things and making the pile seem even more spread out. IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP!

Someone will get hurt because the whole building has not finished collapsing and that somebody will climb in there looking for treasures and it will collapse on them and they will die. This is a huge public safety issue. IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP!

ASBESTOS ASBESTOS ASBESTOS. ANY QUESTIONS? IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP!

And one last thing... if this burned out commercial building was anywhere near a home on American Lake, or near a home in Gig Harbor, or near a home in the North End of Tacoma or near a home down by Point Defiance, etc etc... it would have been cleaned up a long time ago!
You will not convince me otherwise because I'm from gig harbor...land of the NIMBY!!

This needs to be seen by the general public because it seems to be "no big deal" to the building owner or code enforcement cuz it's just next to buildings in downtown. AND WE DONT MATTER!

This house has garbage and debris all over the backyard that we believe is causing a rat issue The house and yard are clearly not cared for, but the garbage and debris in the backyard needs to be addressed, which could be causing rat issues Can the landlord please be contacted over this?

Jacob Macdonald is removing boards that the city put up. He is extremely erratic and screaming to himself. He is spilling gasoline all over the patio while filling up a generator from a large water container. We can smell the fumes.

Jacob Macdonald is removing the boards the city put on this house, using power tools connected to a generator.

Jacob Clinton Macdonald removing boards placed by the city from this location. Again.

Jacob Macdonald is tearing apart the electrical panel on this condemned house trying to hook up a gas generator to it.

Jacob macdonald is running a propane generator since 6:20am. He is a schizophrenic man with substance abuse problems and has gathered a number of combustible propane tanks. We would normally ask neighbors to nbw quiet but he can become terrifyingly violent and has multiple steel pipes and bats he carries around. We live in fear of this man and are expecting him to blow that house up.
