There appears to be a massive area of the near backyard of this home that is viewable from the street and potentially being shared to the yard east of this property and undoubtedly more of the golden bamboo.
Bamboo is unmaintained and out of control. It is also spreading to neighboring yards.
109 N Glenwood Ave. Abandoned house, excessive growth.
The house across from ours has excessive overgrowth. We can tell that the bugs are overpopulating in this area because of it. Our landlord has let us know it has now been like this for over 10 years.
There is a City-owned tree in the ROW that is completely covered in vines, some of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the sidewalk, and are so high that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or does the City attend to its own trees?
Grass is about a foot high in the yard and bush is over the sidewalk.
The property of 1208 S Woodlawn Ave contains Japanese Knotweed. Japanese Knotweed is a city-listed nuisance weed, and in the case of this property the growth is well over 8 inches (more like 5-10 feet) and is visibly spreading into adjacent properties to the west and north by rhizome. The Japanese Knotweed is also visibly growing into that house's siding and foundation. This is likely a rental house situation where the landlord is neglecting the landscaping.
Overgrown and trash in front and back, dying bamboo into alley, falling down porch.
Invasives in the right of way, the north property line, and along the creek including privet, poison ivy, burning bush, & multiflora rose.
