VACANT PROPERTY..WEEDS THRU THE SIDEWALK AND RETAINING WALL. SLOW TO MOW GRASS.
On the south side of E Cottage Grove, between numbers 714 and 712, there is poison ivy (among the other vines) on a tree on private property not too far from the sidewalk. The house in the photo is 712, but upon looking at the maps and street view, I think the tree is on the 714 property. I figure I can leave that to you to figure out officially.
Pine and privet trees have grown over the sidewalk; must turn sideways or walk in street to get by. Feels dangerous at night.
Poison Ivy along sidewalk 706 n Washington
The Park on Morton complex has a sidewalk from the northeast corner of the lot that leads down to College Avenue. Not only does this sidewalk not have lighting along it's path, but it is covered by debris which could cause injury. The last level of steps has tall grass that has not been cut (6 inches and growing), nor has the sidewalk been cleared of debris leading to College Avenue. Also, near the bottom of the steps there is a dead tree above it that come the next rain/storm could injure someone. The property management team seems to "forget" about the additional property they built on, which includes the hill behind the buildings and between the sidewalk and train tracks. If the city could please assist in having this area of the property maintained properly by the property owners, it is appreciated.

As has been reported before (#176415, #177627, #184577), the invasive plants on the NE corner of the property along Cottage Grove have grown out so far that they completely block the sidewalk.
Plants on SW corner of lot have overgrown to a point that the sidewalk is now impassible.
Plants on NE corner of property (along Cottage Grove) have overgrown and are preventing use of sidewalk. Possibly should be associated with 408 E. Cottage Grove - unclear where property line is.
