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.
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.
Narrow sidewalk covered with growth
This property has not been mowed all summer and grass is almost waist high. Neighbor has daycare and children are getting bitten by bugs from this property.
Yard is severely overgrown. Trash also scattered behind the house.
This location is probably outside the city, but could you please relay the information to county. In addition to the overgrown branches, the sidewalk conditions just North of the overgrowth is in need of repair in 2 different locations. I'll send a couple more photos with a duplicate report. Thank you. Randy (812) 360-3600
