See case #188527. Garbage still piled up against house. Tenants do not seem to care about warnings or small fines. Can the fines be associated with their water bill so that it gets turned off if they do not pay?

There is a utility pole at the SW corner of this property (by the alley) that is completely covered in vines, most, perhaps all of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the alley and tenant parking lot and are so high up (25+ feet) that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or do the utility companies maintain their poles? If the latter, do we have to wait the 5-year cycle for them to come by and do the trimming, or will they come by if someone requests it? And if so, how do we contact the utility which bears the responsibility?

There is a City-owned tree in the ROW that is completely covered in vines, some of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the sidewalk, and are so high that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or does the City attend to its own trees?

Referring to closed case #188267: unkempt lawn at 1706 E Second Street, and part of the lawn that is adjacent to 607 S Eastside Drive. The owner indeed did mow a little more, but a large part of the lawn that borders 706 is still in the same horrible shape as it was, worse in fact, because the grass has kept growing since May 5. There also is a large branch that fell off a tree, that has been sitting there for ages and was not removed. Maybe it is time for another visit.

There are some loose bolts on the green bouncy rhino at south east playground. I was going to tighten them but they require a special wrench.
Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Hello,
I am writing to inquire about whether the sidewalk on the east side of S. Jackson St. between 3rd and 4th streets can be repaired. As a person with a visual impairment, I have a terrible time walking on the sidewalk in this location, which is in the block where my house is. The sidewalk is very uneven, with tripping hazards throughout its course due to decay. If I didn't have a visual impairment, it would certainly be easier to walk on this part of the sidewalk, but I know that others with no visual impairment also have a difficult time because of the deteriorated surface.
Thank you.

The water usage is exceedingly high and we are not sure why. The amount that is recorded as being used seems like way more than we could use, and we suspect there may be an issue with the water meter or a potential leak somewhere that is causing an issue with the reading.

Multiple locations (bump outs) along the 7th St Greenway east of Union to south on Hillsdale. Basically they are being ignored by mowing crews, again.
