Other: This rental is owned by out-of-town landlords who, at one time, lived in the house. The back yard is severely overgrown and has been for years, even when they lived there. There are many towering trees along the west side of the property, with many, many dead branches on them. At least one entire tree has been dead for years (in violation of city ordinance) yet the landlords do nothing about it. This line of trees is about 15 feet from the house to the west of it, and a windstorm could bring them crashing onto that house and/or through its windows. The bushes and shrubbery are overgrown and have been for years, spilling onto neighboring properties. The grass and weeds are tall, in violation of city ordinance. The yard has only been mowed 2 or 3 times all year. It rarely gets mowed, even when the house is rented. Yard waste sits around in piles, sometimes for years, and never gets disposed of. There is junk and trash (in violation of city ordinance) -- a broken window frame has sat in the weeds against a fence for years; broken lattice from the deck has sat in the weeds against the house for years; a lawn mower sits out in the elements in the weeds; a gas can sitting in the weeds. Other objects are in the weeds, but the weeds are so tall you can't tell what the objects are. Tall weeds against all the fences, never get cut. Some kind of wire from the power poles has fallen and is touching the ground for over a year. Landlords do nothing. The property is an unsightly mess and constitutes a nuisance property which warrants legal action.
