City of Topeka Addresses Overflowing Dumpsters at Multiple
Properties:

The City of Topeka is actively addressing concerns regarding overflowing dumpsters at multiple properties owned by a local landlord. These conditions have raised concerns among nearby residents about public health and neighborhood cleanliness.

The city’s Property Maintenance Unit has been in contact with the landlord and has issued the appropriate citations in accordance with city ordinances. In response, the landlord has taken steps to resolve the issue, and new dumpsters are expected to be delivered to the affected properties later this week. The city will continue to monitor the situation to ensure compliance with waste management requirements.

The City of Topeka recognizes that some tenants may hesitate to report property maintenance issues, such as overflowing dumpsters or unsafe living conditions, due to fear of retaliation or eviction by their landlord. In
May 2024, the Topeka City Council strengthened its retaliatory eviction ordinance, ensuring residents can assert their right to a clean, safe, and sanitary home without fear of retaliation.

Residents can find more information about the city’s resources to address retaliatory action and their rights under city ordinance by visiting our website here: https://www.topeka.org/tpd/property-maintenancedivision/retaliatory-eviction/

The City of Topeka is committed to creating a clean, safe, and livable environment for all residents. Tenants and community members can report property maintenance concerns by contacting the City of Topeka’s

Property Maintenance Division at 785-368-3161, using our SeeClickFix app, or via email at

On the December 16th, 2024 edition of 580 Sports Talk with Dan:

-Victory Monday... but a pyrrhic one, perhaps, as Patrick Mahomes leaves Sunday's win over the Browns early with an ankle injury. We can't say we didn't see it coming, either, and while it's easy to blame another leaky O-line performance, Mahomes and Andy Reid share responsibility, too.
-The Chiefs defense shone brightly in the 21-7 win at Cleveland, forcing six turnovers - what has sparked a defensive bounceback the last three weeks and can this be the start of a turnover-forcing trend?
-From college sports this weekend: KU gets a bounce-back win over NC State, and K-State running back DJ Giddens is going pro
-The rest of the NFL Week 15 happenings, including the Bills wild win over the injury-riddled Lions and the Colts costing themselves a chance at the playoffs with the most brain-dead play of the season
-NFL Insider Matt Verderame of Sports Illustrated joins the show
