Overgrown bushes and trees on the property of 604 Swain St are not only obstructing the view of the stop sign at the corner of E University and Swain but also hits car windshields and pedestrians trying to walk along the side of the street which has no sidewalk.
Two houses on Mitchell (between Hunter and 2nd St) have multiple bags of garbage which were not picked up during trash pick up yesterday which have now been strewn all over the street.
There is a problem with enforcement by HAND. Months ago I requested the City stop the trash and garbage coming from 1417 West Habitat Street. It went from Matthew Swinney in HAND, to the City Street Department, to the Director of HAND, to Rosie Beaman of HAND, who told me a decision would be reached last week. This week she does not return my calls. I still have my neighbors trash in my yard. My other neighbor still has trash in his yard. There is still trash on City Property. There are still trash cans left permanently on City property, despite an ordinance against it. HAND has pictures. Besides the unsightly view, there is the attraction for vermin and the health risks. I just want the trash picked up, and the cans moved back on his property, where they belong.
Low-hanging tree growth is obstructing sidewalk on North Maple Street between 5th & 6th Streets on the west side of the street towards 6th.

Huge brush pile blocking the sidewalk at 914 S. Rolling Rock Dr
The front yard of 207 E. 12th is PERPETUALLY neglected. Right now it's the grass that's too long. In the winter it's the sidewalks covered with snow. Also, the front steps to the porch are at a dangerous angle and should be reset if this property is allowed to be rented. Lastly, there's a couch on the porch that should be removed.
There has been trash piling up by the alley behind 210 E. 12th for several weeks. It is all over the place and raccoons have been getting into it.
Large "For Rent" banners are draped in front of 401 E. Cottage Grove and 308 E. Cottage Grove. Both properties are managed by "Jamar Properties" and owned by the same individual. I phoned them to ask they be taken down but the woman did not seem to understand what I was talking about.
