They have yet to mow their yard.

This property has been on the market a short time, should be closing in a few days, but they have yet to mow their yard. I believe someone mowed a portion of their backyard for them, but the sides and front and right around the house in the back hasn't been mowed. I hope the new owners don't start their ownership with a yard that hasn't been mowed. Also, not mowing brings more animals around, causing more nuisance. Thanks
"Tree-Keeper" database reports 56 Ailanthus altissima ("tree of heaven") trees being maintained by the City. Given this is an invasive plant and is known to be the primary food source for Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly), should the City be obliged to remove these trees that are listed on the State list: ("Prohibited Invasive Terrestrial Plants [312 IAC 18-3-25]", https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/iisc/invasive-plants.html) ? If HAND is going to proactively threaten residents by "asking" them to remove something that is not on the State list (e.g., bamboo), it seems profoundly hypocritical for them to not address a serious ecological issue that they are helping to advance.
Neighbor called in to HAND to report excessive growth and that the yard is full of construction materials. Caller is concerned that the property may be abandoned and would like a Compliance Officer to drive-by. The caller said he reported this property several times last year. Property Address is 986 S State Road 446, Bloomington, IN, 47401

Grass is a foot high and has not been cut since last year. This is a rental that is for sale. Please make sure the landlord/owners are notified, as the tenants are not responsible for mowing and should not be penalized.
