Foliage/brush from the property at 701 E 10th St (northeast corner of the intersection of N Fess and E 10th) has completely obstructed the sidewalk.
Shrubs along sidewalk between 708 E. 11th (comes up as "044K" on google maps) and the empty lot immediately to the west have grown so much that it is difficult to pass, and at night it is so dark there that pedestrians cannot even see the bushes before they run right into them.
Tree (hackberry?) in ROW on 11th Street side of lot has limbs that are blocking sidewalk passage, and up higher the limbs are growing over the lot and possibly even touching the roof of the house.
Not sure which category this belongs under. The grass-cutters for this property and the one directly to the north and also the Grant Street Inn to the south routinely blow grass cuttings into the street. Sometimes, there is so much that it creates a cycling hazard, and then when the rain washes it all into the storm sewer grates and clogs them, temporary lakes form. Are the any regulations relating to the levying of fines to careless people who dump yard waste (grass, leaves, etc.) in the street?
Plants along sidewalk have grown out enough to impede pedestrians, and they keep growing. Could be responsibility of 713 E. Cottage Grove, or maybe both.
Tree of heaven just starting in front yard.
Large tree of heaven on Prow side of lot.
NW corner of lot is overgrown - partially blocking sidewalk along Cottage Grove. Annual occurrence.
Large trees-of-heaven on the west property line.
Plants are starting to block sidewalk. This has happened before at this same location. Not obvious which house is responsible, 723 (privately owned) or the property just to the west (715, IU-owned.) Side note: the uReport map has the address listed as "805 N. Park", but the porch is facing 11th and the address on the house says "723".
