The management company has not trimmed the thistle/weeds growing along the driveway and sidewalk and they have become unsightly and hazardous.
Invasive Japanese knotweed growing on west side of house and south side of property along alley.
There is a utility pole at the SW corner of this property (by the alley) that is completely covered in vines, most, perhaps all of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the alley and tenant parking lot and are so high up (25+ feet) that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or do the utility companies maintain their poles? If the latter, do we have to wait the 5-year cycle for them to come by and do the trimming, or will they come by if someone requests it? And if so, how do we contact the utility which bears the responsibility?
There is a City-owned tree in the ROW that is completely covered in vines, some of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the sidewalk, and are so high that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or does the City attend to its own trees?
Calling about recent case (see below). Problem persists. #188267 Excessive Growth Case Date: 5/5/2024 The owner of (corner house) 1706 E Second Street only mows half his lawn. The half that borders 607 S Eastside Drive has not been kept up. If he keeps doing this, the grass will be knee high by August.
Referring to closed case #188267: unkempt lawn at 1706 E Second Street, and part of the lawn that is adjacent to 607 S Eastside Drive. The owner indeed did mow a little more, but a large part of the lawn that borders 706 is still in the same horrible shape as it was, worse in fact, because the grass has kept growing since May 5. There also is a large branch that fell off a tree, that has been sitting there for ages and was not removed. Maybe it is time for another visit.
Multiple locations (bump outs) along the 7th St Greenway east of Union to south on Hillsdale. Basically they are being ignored by mowing crews, again.
Owner/occupants are not mowing the grass.
Not clear which address to use. City-created, grassy area in traffic-control sidewalk extension into the street needs mowing. SW corner of Grant/9th. Is this the responsibility of adjacent property owners? If so, would that be Plantation North Apartments, apparently now being referred to as "Campus Walk North" (CRE Rentals)?
