poison ivy along sidewalk - southern end of 211 n grant
poison ivy along sidewalk - southern end of 211 n grant
Grass too long AND weeds are growing out and blocking the sidewalk on the NE corner of the property.
Trees encroaching sidewalk. Also bamboo, for which this house has been cited is not abated, when will that be enforced?
Vegetation blocking sidewalk
Vegetation blocking sidewalk
Yellow groove bamboo on property. Overgrown. Vegetation obstructing sidewalk.
Tree-of-heaven that was alongside house has been cut, but there remains tree-of-heaven and poison ivy growing right by the sidewalk out of the side of the soon-to-collapse retaining wall, right where passersby can brush up against it.
Both Japanese knotweed and tree-of-heaven are growing together on the *east* lot-line of this property, possibly extending to neighboring lot (315 E. 11th), though not clear which property is the culprit invader and which the invaded. Plants are in leaf, actively growing, and easily seen from sidewalk - a perfect opportunity for HAND inspectors to learn to identify and distinguish between these two highly-invasive species.
At least one large tree-of-heaven growing on the south property line of this lot, surrounded by many other invasive plants that are overgrown and starting to impede the sidewalk.
Case# 203083 should be associated with 819 N. Grant. That property also has a pending tree-of-heaven report (currently about to bloom), but the poison ivy and other invasives are now covering half the sidewalk along Grant. The responsibility for the mess is likely shared with the adjacent property to the south (815 N. Grant), but it is not obvious where the property line actually is.
