This is my 3rd report on this property. Seems like they won’t cut their grass unless the city makes them and after the last notice they did a very poor job. Grass is blocking road visibility for residents turning out of the Winslow frontage road. This is a danger to cars turning and on the road, pedestrians, bike riders and kids waiting on the school bus as this is a bus stop that sits on top of a blind hill. This house is an air bnb rental so you would think their property would have enough income to keep their grass cut. Residents should not have to complain every time their grass is long and I think this now calls for a more preventative fine.
t I am writing to report a severe public nuisance and hazardous property condition at 1711 S Highland Ave . Following last week's storm, a large tree on the owner's property fell down. The resulting debris—including the massive tree trunk and multiple large branches—has been left piled up directly by my yard line. This accumulation is attracting pests, rodents, and snakes into my yard, interfering with the safe enjoyment of my property. Furthermore, the neighboring yard is completely overgrown with large clusters of Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum). This is a highly toxic, prohibited invasive species that poses a severe chemical burn and ingestion risk to humans and domestic animals. The plants are well over the city's 8-inch growth limit and are spreading toward my property line. I attempted to address these safety hazards with the property owner directly, but she refused to cooperate or permit further contact. Because of the immediate health and safety hazards posed by both the structural storm debris and the toxic vegetation, I request an inspection from the HAND Department to issue a Notice of Violation and enforce removal.

Also has had signs of vagrancy with clothing and trash left behind. At our building we've seen more folks now resting on our stoop (ring camera) after hours and on weekends. Assuming this is a result of them not being able to access the next door property. My non-profit is a tenant of the building.
The neighbors foliage behind the condemned building at the end of his driveway, is growing over my fence, in the surrounding trees, on my shed roof, wrapped around my downspouts and o his own garage roof, through my fence. I reached out but Mark has not done anything to resolve. Creeping Charlie and wild grape. It’s taking over.
Overgrown yard
Weeds overgrown on fencing obstructing the ability to walk on the sidewalk without avoiding. Also sidewalk cracks are so filled with weeds they are a trip hazard
Overgrown yard
Hedge behind B-Line work out station needs to be trimmed. I believe it actually belongs to the owner of Auto Heaven (also on W Allen St). If it isn't his responsibility, then it probably belongs to the City. Either way, it is a mess and people are throwing trash into it on a daily basis.
