Uninhabitable house with weeds and excessive growth on all sides.
Uninhabitable house with weeds and excessive growth on all sides.
Alley is impassible without scratching vehicle due to growth hanging over from the yards.
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.
Narrow sidewalk covered with growth
Overgrown Bradford pear that has become a shrub blocking sidewalk
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.
1313 and 1401 W Woodhill have not been mowed for quite awhile. The grass is so tall it looks like shrubs
The growth on this wire has caused the bottom wire to sag a lot. Not sure which wire this is or how to tackle the growth. It’s behind my house at 1324 e allendale and between the neighbors.
Overgrown yard, blocking roadway
This property is once again in violation of grass and weeds being above the 8 inch limit. Complaints were filed a month ago, and while the property owner did cut a portion of their yard (which ended up looking horrible and then had turkey vultures in it) they did not cut all of it. They part they did not cut in the backyard is many feet high now, and the part they did cut is back up over the 8 inch limit. Maybe a mowing service should be suggested to the owner. Hopefully they are facing higher violation fees since this is an ongoing issue. Also before tickets are closed, there should be a check that the whole yard was taken care of, not just part of it.
