re: id=168983 and id=168611 Dee Wills referred to process of abatement of property. Where can I find an explanation of what that means? Also, I have asked in multiple reports if there is a City department or agency that can help me with the next door abandoned (for two years) swimming pool that is stagnant, attracting wildlife, and a perfect breeding place for mosquitoes?
The city planted new grass/sod all along Rockport near Rockport/Tapp intersection and hasn’t cut the grass one time in this stretch of Rockport.
This house hasn’t cut their grass since new people moved in. Excessive weed growth has resulted.
This property has been overgrown for several weeks. Not sure if they've even mowed this year yet.
Excessive growth completely blocking sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to walk in the street.
Overgrown plants on retaining wall are blocking about half the sidewalk.
On the north side of Winslow, then up Henderson the overhang from trees impairs mobility whether walking, biking, assisted mobility, strollers. The same is true on the east side of Sare Rd north of Rogers (the Rogers that runs east and west) and Hillside. Sidewalks have to be walked around because of all the overgrowth. I'm sure there are lots of other places in town but these are where I have been recently.
Yard has not been mowed all summer, resulting in extreme growth on property. Fosters snakes and animals that could pose a threat to children in the neighborhood.
Neighbor's house is barely visible due to overgrown plants. There is an infestation of rats, mice, moles, and snakes throughout their property, inside and outside. We keep our house well-maintained, but found evidence of rats and mice in our attic. We have an a/c unit up there and the wires were chewed. It was a costly repair and we were told that there could have been a fire. Numerous neighbors have talked to the homeowner at this property, but nothing has been done for years. We would really appreciate the city's immediate assistance in this matter before something serious occurs. Thank you!
