Property is so overgrown with invasive, noxious plants along alley that a tree is now leaning and is in contact with electric service wires. Also, utility pole on SE corner of lot has vines growing up near the transformer and just a few feet away from high voltage distribution lines. Property owner has let the entire property degrade so that what was once a good example of 1890s architecture is now a hovel/shack that is an embarrassment for the entire neighborhood.
Invasive Japanese knotweed growing on west side of house and south side of property along alley.
Plants are overgrowing onto sidewalk (NE corner of property) block pedestrian and wheelchair traffic.
Tenants storing trash bins on sidewalk.

Garbage can(s) sitting on the road/sidewalk - a notorious address for trash / noise / general un-neighborly conduct that has been going on for years.
Trash overflowing from cans. Bags sitting on the ground and into the alleyway. Animals and scavengers have started getting into it and rain is collecting in the open cans creating a stench.
