1402 Henderson has poison ivy growing into the sidewalk. It makes the sidewalk smaller to walk on
Yard is severely overgrown. Trash also scattered behind the house.
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.
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.
Alley is impassible without scratching vehicle due to growth hanging over from the yards.
Old photo. Much higher weeds now. Garbage cans stored in front of house all year. No mowing or trimming of high weeds in front.
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.
Alley between walnut and Washington (behind BP) is blocked by overgrown vegetation
1111 S. Washington front yard so overgrown strollers and wheelchairs cannot get over weeds that have fallen onto public sidewalk. Also may attract snakes, rodents, and other unwanted wildlife. Heightened allergy issues for neighbors, especially children.
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
