Sidewalk is completely blocked by overgrown bushes
Sidewalk is completely blocked by overgrown bushes
Property is regularly overgrown with invasive, noxious plants such as tree of heaven. Parker management openly admits that they do not regularly mow or shovel sidewalks for their properties, and will only do so if they receive a complaint. We hope that HAND chooses to issue fines rather than warnings for this company's rentals. They know better, but just choose to disregard responsibility and decency.
Sidewalk project is complete, but the large signage was left behind. See west side (front lawn) of property along Grant.
Invasive plants (bush honeysuckle?)on NW corner of property along Cottage Grove have grown out so far that the sidewalk is almost unusable. A wheelchair could probably not easily navigate it without getting stuck in the grass of the ROW. Should be trimmed back to property line, at least.
The trees are overgrown and hanging over the sidewalk and roadway. They need to be trimmed. Thank you.
Retaining wall collapsing (again) on NW corner of property. Large limestone block has fallen into sidewalk, blocking wheelchair and stroller passage.
New tenants at 800 and/or 806 N. Lincoln have been parking in and blocking E/W alley that is between the houses.
This building has an extremely bright on the west side of the building that not only illuminates their property at night but also shines across Grant street and floods the houses across the street with sharp, glaring light. It is so blindingly bright that it is hazardous to walk down the steps of those houses at night. Can the city require that property owners face lights downward and/or ask them to install some sort of shielding so that the lights are not so offensive to the adjacent neighbors and neighborhood in general? It's bad enough that the building is so generic and tacky, but can the city prevent them from ruining the lives of people in other properties, all the while causing a hazardous situation to exist?
Weeds growing out and covering sidewalk on NW corner of property (Lincoln and alley intersection.)
Plants are overgrowing onto sidewalk (NE corner of property) block pedestrian and wheelchair traffic.
