Unkept yard
Homeowner does not mow her yard. No mowing is happened thus far this year and last season the yard was only mowed 3-4 times. Overgrowth of trees and brush in side and back yard.
The sidewalk at 3737 Bainbridge wasn't cleared after the most recent snowfall. It's now turned to ice. It's particularly a hazard since the sidewalk on the other side of the street stops before Elliston, so one can't walk there either.
The sidewalk at 1220 E Allendale hasn't been cleared, though the driveway was. With no sidewalk on the west side of Bainbridge, the only other alternative is to walk on the street, which is unsafe under the current conditions.
The walk at 3737 S Bainbridge Drive, as is the case every snowfall, has not been cleared from either last Friday's or Monday's snows. It's particularly an issue since the sidewalk on the other side of the street ends before Elliston.
The walk wasn't cleared from either snowfall during this past week. Since the walk across the street also hasn't been cleared, there is no safe path for those of us walking their dogs or trying to reach the school or city bus stops.
This house is abandoned and has been for at least the 8 years we've lived on the street. There is often excessive overgrowth and the backyard is literally growing INTO the structure of the home. It's a fire hazard and a danger to young children in the neighborhood. Recently, we tried to get our escaped cat from the backyard and I was absolutely stunned by the horrible conditions I saw in the rear of the home. Pests are likely breeding like crazy in the home - we've had two RATS killed by our cat in our yard this year. I've seen roaches on the driveway. It's awful! WHY can't the city do ANYTHING about this abandoned danger before something major happens?
