The front yard is VERY overgrown. The backyard is HORRENDOUS.
The front yard is VERY overgrown. The backyard is HORRENDOUS.
The yard hasn't been mowed since last fall and is very overgrown with poison ivy, invasive wintercreeper vines and other weeds that are spilling over into my property.
1103 & 1105 have been abandoned and the entire properties have not been mowed for over 3 months. The overgrown woody and herbaceous vegetation is over 2 feet long. Source of vermin like raccoons and possums
Part of the front of the property at 1112 S Washington has become completely overgrown with poison Ivy which now covers half of the sidewalk.
Old photo. Much higher weeds now. Garbage cans stored in front of house all year. No mowing or trimming of high weeds in front.
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.
Lawn has invasive weeds in lawn growing 6 ft high (over 8 inches of overgrowth per city regulation)on the North side of the property. The weeds are also growing up against the house and spreading into neighbor's property to the North. Grass is usually un-mowed and over 8 inches high. The invasive weeds are Japanese Knotweed and must be removed up to property line.
Yard is severely overgrown. Trash also scattered behind the house.
Lawn is over a foot long, concerned re: ticks.
Invasives in the right of way, the north property line, and along the creek including privet, poison ivy, burning bush, & multiflora rose.
