Excessive growth
Successive growth in the yard and all around the house
Shrubs on east side of front yard are overgrown with tree-of-heaven, and the other plants have grown so much that they are blocking half the sidewalk. Property owner (absentee - lives in another town) doesn't keep this properties looking nice. They are either overgrown or else he completely removes all the plants so that the properties are only grass. Always too much or too little. Such a shame...
Shrub on corner is so overgrown it makes it difficult to stay on the sidewalk.
Property needs to be mowed
yard overgrown, both front and back, not mowed once this year
The lawn has not been mowed since 2024, resulting in grass that is over 14 inches tall. The house is located right next to the Park Ridge East community park, and local children have expressed fears about playing there due to the "scary house." This property is a rental unit, and the front gutter is almost entirely hanging from the roofline into the yard, giving it an abandoned appearance. The neighborhood has attempted to assist, but the house remains in poor condition. Other residents are currently trying to sell their properties or have attempted to do so without success. Potential buyers admit to looking elsewhere because this house, prominently located on the corner, is in full view of the park. Can someone please help? The owner may reside at 3708 E Reed Ct, Bloomington, IN. Thank you.is prominently located on the corner, in full view of the park. Can someone please help? The owner may reside at 3708 E Reed Ct, Bloomington, IN. Thank you.
Just like every summer since the current owner bought it, the front yard is going to seed and looks awful.
Grass is over 2 ft high.
