Excessive growth in front and back of property
Excessive growth in front and back of property
Bamboo and other weeds that have grown into trees. I complain and the homeowner never does anything about it year after year!
The Side walk on the west side of the street is over grown with weeds making it difficult to walk on the sidewalk.
I noticed bamboo at this street address yesterday and while walking this after noon on the upper road of E Blue Ridge Dr it was very visible - I’m presuming it may be just the one parcel on N Dunn but, potentially more.
There are two bushes along N Woodlawn Ave (but one in particular that I am singling out in this complaint) that is growing over onto the sidewalk. It takes up about half the sidewalk and requires people to step onto the road verge when passing another person.
Overgrowth of foliage and brush from the property at 701 N Woodlawn Ave extends into the sidewalk and poses a hazard to pedestrians and passerby. Google Maps lists the property as bearing the addresses 701, 703 & 705; or 829 E Cottage Grove Ave.
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.
Lawn has not been mowed in weeks. The grass is extremely long. Looks like a mess.
Reference: Case #185516. Nine days have passed, problem still exists. Can an additional fine be issued at this point? Or was there no fine issued the first time?
He lives at 311 N Jefferson St and can not see to pull out safely from his driveway.
