Overgrown yard, blocking roadway
Overgrown yard, blocking roadway
This property is once again in violation of grass and weeds being above the 8 inch limit. Complaints were filed a month ago, and while the property owner did cut a portion of their yard (which ended up looking horrible and then had turkey vultures in it) they did not cut all of it. They part they did not cut in the backyard is many feet high now, and the part they did cut is back up over the 8 inch limit. Maybe a mowing service should be suggested to the owner. Hopefully they are facing higher violation fees since this is an ongoing issue. Also before tickets are closed, there should be a check that the whole yard was taken care of, not just part of it.
Trash on and around back deck. Trash on front porch and in front of garage.
Back yard is overgrown with weeds several feet tall, limbs, debris, and fallen tree (since March). Multiple broken trampolines. We've started seeing raccoons and other wildlife from nearby property.
We have spoken to our neighbors numerous times about trimming their trees…now the entire Alley behind our house is blocked with fallen trees on power lines & branches on cars parked in our driveway.
An anonymous complainant alerted the Solid Waste District about "illegal dumping" of ash wood, as well as concrete and trash at this location. We did a quick inspection and found wood and other materials piled on the ground at the property. Additionally there is a trailer that appears to contain household waste, and there is trash around one of the buildings (on Allen Street side). Feel free to contact me if you need additional information!
The sidewalk on the street has not been cleared. Also within the complex sidewalks have not been cleared even for those using handcapped parking. It is very dangerous.
House is vacant and backyard is seriously overgrown with ivy and has nesting rats. Neighbors are mowing front yard so our cul de sac doesn’t look bad.Fence is falling down on 2 sides.
The property right next door, 1623 E 1st St, is a rental property that the tenants just moved out of. The trash can is overflowing and blocking the street for over a week. (Mr. Bigelow called the front desk of City Hall and spoke with me - Isabella V)
