Large (4foot long) rocks collapsed onto sidewalk
There is still trash all over the street and frontage of 223 N Morton St. Residents of the building continually throw trash (beer cans/bottles, liquor bottles and fast food containers) along the sidewalk and on top of the red canopy over the big rack in front of unit 208. There are cans and bottles on top of the structure that blow off onto cars and into the street causing a hazard to pedestrians and motorists. There are smashed bottles/ broken glass all near the alleyway. This is unacceptable and must be dealt with. The city has been notified multiple times.
Poison ivy and other invasive plants are growing out of property, blocking the sidewalk and also growing up into the trees (SE corner of lot on Lincoln side)
Pile of mattresses and bedding lying by sidewalk
Trash bins being stored on sidewalk and in full view of the street.
As has been reported before (#176415, #177627, #184577), the invasive plants on the NE corner of the property along Cottage Grove have grown out so far that they completely block the sidewalk.
Overgrowth and trees on this property encroach significantly on the sidewalk making pedestrian access difficult. In addition, the property is overrun with highly invasive plants, including tree of heaven, multiflora rose, and many others.
Trash bins and pile of trash on sidewalk, NW corner of lot by alley.
Excessive growth of weeds, including poison ivy, hanging over the retainer wall onto the sidewalk, exposing pedestrians.
These piles of debris have been blocking this sidewalk for several weeks.
