There is excessive plant growth practically covering the house.
On the south side of E Cottage Grove, between numbers 714 and 712, there is poison ivy (among the other vines) on a tree on private property not too far from the sidewalk. The house in the photo is 712, but upon looking at the maps and street view, I think the tree is on the 714 property. I figure I can leave that to you to figure out officially.
On the north side of E Cottage, in the middle of number 805 (the house is to the right, a vacant area is to the left, but it's all 805) there is poison ivy on a tree on private property near the sidewalk.
The property of 1208 S Woodlawn Ave contains Japanese Knotweed. Japanese Knotweed is a city-listed nuisance weed, and in the case of this property the growth is well over 8 inches (more like 5-10 feet) and is visibly spreading into adjacent properties to the west and north by rhizome. The Japanese Knotweed is also visibly growing into that house's siding and foundation. This is likely a rental house situation where the landlord is neglecting the landscaping.
East Morningside Drive. One yard on south side has had limb branch pile out for months if you can request remove. Also further down the sidewalk is impeded by overhanging limbs and would be AWESOME if you can ask they cut them.
Excessive growth on strip of land on Sare Rd at crossing into Hyde Park at David St. This hasn’t been mowed at all this year and was only mowed several times last year. I think the city can do a better job. I consider this a health hazard.
Bamboo and other weeds that have grown into trees. I complain and the homeowner never does anything about it year after year!
The Side walk on the west side of the street is over grown with weeds making it difficult to walk on the sidewalk.
Overgrown and trash in front and back, dying bamboo into alley, falling down porch.
