House is vacant and backyard is seriously overgrown with ivy and has nesting rats. Neighbors are mowing front yard so our cul de sac doesn’t look bad.Fence is falling down on 2 sides.
We've had a problem with invasive Tree of Heaven ever since the city came a couple years ago to clear the overgrowth in the "alley" space at the northwest corner of the property. Since then, the overgrowth has of course returned, but it's now more aggressive, with the inclusion of Tree of Heaven, which is spreading to the rest of the property. It might be a good idea to clear that overgrowth again. Perhaps there are other preventative measures that can be taken.
Poison ivy growing next to sidewalk
It’s all weeds some 4 feet tall
Wall has a lot of poison ivy growing on it
Back yard is overgrown with weeds several feet tall, limbs, debris, and fallen tree (since March). Multiple broken trampolines. We've started seeing raccoons and other wildlife from nearby property.
A large patch of bamboo was noticed along the N property line of this parcel.
I noticed the property edge of this 2nd home S of Covenanter Dr has golden bamboo below a utility service line near the next neighbors yard.
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.
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.
