This complaint was sent to the Citizen's e-mail site. The e-mail states: The property at 3212 S. Southern Oaks Court has been vacant for months and has not been mowed. There are some stickers on the door, but I don't know if these relate to the lawn or the foreclosure on the home.

yard overgrown, has not been touched in over 2 months
Apparently the bank has taken possession of the property and house at 305 W Coolidge Dr. The tenant moved out weeks ago, and the property has not been mowed since. I do not know who the current owner is, and maybe they do not know the property is in need of maintenance, but it is in need of mowing at the least.
"There is a house in my neighborhood that possibly has been abandoned. This past Friday a tree fell in their front yard and into the street and it wasn't until another resident contacted the city that the part that was in the street was removed. The yard is an overgrown mess in my opinion but don't know at what point it's considered a code violation. When the tree went down no one came to the door, hence our belief that the house may be unoccupied. The address is 3005 E. Daniel St., 47401. Thanks for your time!"
Portion of e-mail detailing problem: Front yard has been mowed once and the backyard has only had a "dog run" path mowed this season. Weeds in front yard exceed the eight inch code and backyard grass and weeds are two feet high at least. Also, the owner does not maintain his property in general and not does ever clean up after his large dog (and rarely silents the barking). On damp mornings, the smell is like living next to a stock yard.
