Yard has not been mowed all summer, resulting in extreme growth on property. Fosters snakes and animals that could pose a threat to children in the neighborhood.
1350 W. 15th St. Aside from the so-called "wooded" part, the yard is overgrown with weeds and Asian Bush Honeysuckle
Neighbor's house is barely visible due to overgrown plants. There is an infestation of rats, mice, moles, and snakes throughout their property, inside and outside. We keep our house well-maintained, but found evidence of rats and mice in our attic. We have an a/c unit up there and the wires were chewed. It was a costly repair and we were told that there could have been a fire. Numerous neighbors have talked to the homeowner at this property, but nothing has been done for years. We would really appreciate the city's immediate assistance in this matter before something serious occurs. Thank you!
Weeds and grass has been allowed to become wildly overgrown along the drainage ditch at the bottom of the valley in Crestmont Park. There is no reason that should be happening. It's not to prevent erosion. Grass doesn't have to be 3 feet tall to prevent erosion. It just keeps it from drying out and causes it to attract mosquitoes among other things. In addition, invasive vines have climbed and wrapped around many of the trees and many of the trees are surrounded by overgrown areas containing invasive honeysuckle and others. Not acceptable in one of our City parks.
The raised garden bed is full of tall grass and weeds. The caller stated she is not complaining about the "pretty" parts of the garden. If you have any questions about what she is calling about you can contact her at 812-336-1203.
The empty parking lot next to our First Presbyterian Church - I think the address is 210 East 7th Street - has not been mowed all year. It is very overgrown.
