Overgrown grass. This is a rental house.
Overgrown grass. This is a rental house.
Both Japanese knotweed and tree-of-heaven are growing together on the *east* lot-line of this property, possibly extending to neighboring lot (315 E. 11th), though not clear which property is the culprit invader and which the invaded. Plants are in leaf, actively growing, and easily seen from sidewalk - a perfect opportunity for HAND inspectors to learn to identify and distinguish between these two highly-invasive species.
Large tree-of-heaven growing on NE corner of lot alongside the alley and Grant Street, though cited in City ROW. This tree sends out so many seed every year, that properties close by regularly fight new growth. Very easy to see this tree, but best to send a HAND member who has had formal training to identify tree-of-heaven, else it might be missed...
Overgrown yard.. looks like property is abandoned Not sure if this is correct address.. house is at corner of Tamarack (entrance to Meadowood) and north Dunn.. on west side
Residents at this location have not mowed their grass yet this Spring and it is definitely over the 8 inch length. It is unsightly and sticks out since every other household on the street keeps their grass trimmed.
Grass is a 8 to 12 inches.
Caller to HAND reports that this address and the one next to it has overgrown grass and has now mowed yet this season. It is approx 18 inches tall. Said that the property appears to be vacant.
yard has not been mowed
Tree-of-heaven that was alongside house has been cut, but there remains tree-of-heaven and poison ivy growing right by the sidewalk out of the side of the soon-to-collapse retaining wall, right where passersby can brush up against it.
Excessive growth, structure failure, trash, clothing and garbage strewn about. Neighbors on east use as a place to throw their garbage. Been reported several times .
