This property immensely violates the City code regarding overgrowth of the yard and landscaping. In fact, the public sidewalk attached to this property that runs along 16th Street is practically impassable. There is barely a walkable path where the sidewalk should be.
Bamboo and other overgrowth blocking stop sign, overhanging street, blocking sidewalk.
Bush growth overtaken sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to walk into 10th st.
Overgrown bamboo at 1002 W 6 St and Elm bending into sidewalks and street obstructing traffic. Bird droppings covering the sidewalk. The invasive plant has encroached on neighboring property where we live at 1004, so we are having to engage removal services and eventually install impermeable barriers at our expense. The back yard of 1002 is overgrown also, feral cats, possum and a skunk have been sited or smelled in a fallen shed which has not been cleared out. The Elm Street side of 1002 is full of debris and overgrowth and there is an unattended stagnant water feature where we hear frogs in the summer (which do attract copperhead snakes). Someone does seem to be inhabiting the house, though we know that the owner of the house does not reside in Indiana presently.
East side of street sidewalk middle of block on Maple between 3rd/4th is mostly blocked by overgrown ivy/weeds/tree
overgrown yard, excessive growth, overflow onto sidewalk
616 north Washington - poison ivy along sidewalk and couches on front porch
in front of 517 E. Kirkwood (Pot Belly patio & IU offices) there is a row of weeds wedged between the patio base and brick sidewalk. It's been there all summer, and are steadily growing. Not sure who to contact for removal (city, property manager?,IU...) thanks.
I've noticed sidewalk-users and students having to duck and walk into the street to avoid crowding at this spot on Dunn. The tree overgrowth has made it so anyone over 5 feet tall has to duck to get past.
Yard plantings have taken over sidewalk near the intersection of Lincoln and 11th. It is now impassible.
