Poison ivy growing next to sidewalk
Poison ivy growing next to sidewalk
We've had a problem with invasive Tree of Heaven ever since the city came a couple years ago to clear the overgrowth in the "alley" space at the northwest corner of the property. Since then, the overgrowth has of course returned, but it's now more aggressive, with the inclusion of Tree of Heaven, which is spreading to the rest of the property. It might be a good idea to clear that overgrowth again. Perhaps there are other preventative measures that can be taken.
1301 Woodhill... lawn grass over 8 inches in height, weeds at front entrance in excess of 3 feet in height, weeds beside driveway in excess of 3 feet in height, trash laying driveway, junk car in driveway.
805 S West Pointe Court... front lawn overgrown in excess of 8 inches; back yard overgrown in excess if 12+ inches. Front door to house standing open
yard at 811 S Larkspur has not been mowed this season... grass exceeding 8 inches
The property of 1208 S Woodlawn Ave contains Japanese Knotweed. Japanese Knotweed is a city-listed nuisance weed, and in the case of this property the growth is well over 8 inches (more like 5-10 feet) and is visibly spreading into adjacent properties to the west and north by rhizome. The Japanese Knotweed is also visibly growing into that house's siding and foundation. This is likely a rental house situation where the landlord is neglecting the landscaping.
Trash can has been at curb for 2-3 months
There is even MORE trash in the back yard now! PLEASE PLEASE make them clean it up! This is directly and very negatively impacting our properties. I've send several complaints. This issue is costing me so much money at this point. Please do something.
There is so much garbage outside this house, the house looks like it's falling down and I think an older lady and children live here. I own the houses next to this and it is VERY much negatively impacting our life. PLEASE do something!
There are multiple issues. This home is abandoned. The floor in front of the door is missing and someone can fall directly into the basement. Many dead trees and branches on property. The front door and many windows are wide open. Garage doors have been vandalized and sprayed with graffiti. I have many other photos and can send them if needed.
