Lawn going to seed.
Lawn going to seed.
Overgrown bamboo at 1002 W 6 St and Elm bending into sidewalks and street obstructing traffic. Bird droppings covering the sidewalk. The invasive plant has encroached on neighboring property where we live at 1004, so we are having to engage removal services and eventually install impermeable barriers at our expense. The back yard of 1002 is overgrown also, feral cats, possum and a skunk have been sited or smelled in a fallen shed which has not been cleared out. The Elm Street side of 1002 is full of debris and overgrowth and there is an unattended stagnant water feature where we hear frogs in the summer (which do attract copperhead snakes). Someone does seem to be inhabiting the house, though we know that the owner of the house does not reside in Indiana presently.
Weed bush in the ditch on the north side of the street is growing over the road, and impairs vision going around that curve.
Grass too long AGAIN. Especially along fence.
Lot hasn't been mown all season. Grass seed heads are 3-feet-tall throughout yard. Notices have been left on front door but it's obvious property is vacant.
Lawn needs cutting - property owner is an habitual offender

This is MY third complaint about this house. I know for a fact other neighbors have complained too. This house is a total junky mess: yard a disaster, junk, old boxes, debris piled everywhere. Backyard never touched by a mower. I cannot believe you can not make them clean this place up. I wonder what they are doing in this house. I will take pictures if I need to.
I received a follow up call from a HAND inspector on August 17 regarding overgrowth behind the new apartment complex at 714 North Walnut. She indicated that the project manager would have the overgrowth cleaned up possibly by the end of the week. It's now almost 2 weeks later and this area still hasn't been cleaned up.
