You have to walk on the median because tree has grown over the sidewalk. Needs trimmed badly

Yard is overgrown, never mowed, about to engulf house.
There is a heavily overgrown mulberry hanging down into Monroe Street, towards the back of this property near the intersection of Monroe Street and W Cottage Grove Ave. the branches are hanging low enough that they scrape the top of vehicles. Not sure if the city can trim it or if it’s the homeowner’s responsibility. I also advise that the city encourage the owner to remove the tree entirely since it is an invasive white mulberry.
Excessive growth onto the sidewalk, not able to pass and stay on the sidewalk. This spot is the northwest side of the lot, same problem on northeast side.
Street light flickers and goes off and on
Lots of shallow potholes. One more is west of this picture and is the deepest.
The north side of 13th Street between Indiana and Fess has an old limestone masonry sidewalk, maybe from the 1950s (?) It is interesting for historic reasons - it looks like it matches the sidewalks that flank Lincoln between 10th and Cottage Grove - but parts of it have degraded to a point that it is now a bit awkward to walk on it, especially at night. (It is definitely not ADA-complaint.) Is there an office in town dedicated to historic preservation that could commission a team of masons to redo this sidewalk? There is a concrete sidewalk just east of this block that appears to match the pattern, but it is poured concrete with pattern-pressed and actually looks a little comical, as if it is trying to be something that it is not. Also, a side note: there is no sidewalk on the south side of 13th Street in this block. If there were one there (especially ADA-compliant), people could more safely walk from campus to "The Standard" along that street.
A new sidewalk in this area was installed, but the road doesn't seem to be finished. There are huge potholes and it is unsafe for bikes, pedestrians, and vehicles.
excess growth and abandoned house
I let you know there still grass on baseball field near pool
