"Lawn" needs cutting, and invasive plants growing up the side of the house. An annual problem with this property. (Parker rentals.)

Grass is way too tall.
On the south side of E Cottage Grove, between numbers 714 and 712, there is poison ivy (among the other vines) on a tree on private property not too far from the sidewalk. The house in the photo is 712, but upon looking at the maps and street view, I think the tree is on the 714 property. I figure I can leave that to you to figure out officially.
There is a utility pole at the SW corner of this property (by the alley) that is completely covered in vines, most, perhaps all of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the alley and tenant parking lot and are so high up (25+ feet) that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or do the utility companies maintain their poles? If the latter, do we have to wait the 5-year cycle for them to come by and do the trimming, or will they come by if someone requests it? And if so, how do we contact the utility which bears the responsibility?
Overgrowth of foliage and brush from the property at 701 N Woodlawn Ave extends into the sidewalk and poses a hazard to pedestrians and passerby. Google Maps lists the property as bearing the addresses 701, 703 & 705; or 829 E Cottage Grove Ave.
Invasive plants (bush honeysuckle?)on NW corner of property along Cottage Grove have grown out so far that the sidewalk is almost unusable. A wheelchair could probably not easily navigate it without getting stuck in the grass of the ROW. Should be trimmed back to property line, at least.
As has been reported before (#176415, #177627, #184577), the invasive plants on the NE corner of the property along Cottage Grove have grown out so far that they completely block the sidewalk.
Plants are overgrowing onto sidewalk (NE corner of property) block pedestrian and wheelchair traffic.
Plants on SW corner of lot have overgrown to a point that the sidewalk is now impassible.
Plants on NE corner of property (along Cottage Grove) have overgrown and are preventing use of sidewalk. Possibly should be associated with 408 E. Cottage Grove - unclear where property line is.
