Grass is way too tall.
Grass is way too tall.
Grass too long, front and back. Also, utility wires hanging dangerously with a foot of the ground in the back, and vines are growing up all the trees (viewable from alley on south side.) Property is a mess in general (Parker Rentals).
Property lawn habitually too long (Parker Rental).
Invasive plants growing out of NE corner of property onto sidewalk blocking pedestrian traffic.
As has been reported before (#176415, #177627, #184577), the invasive plants on the NE corner of the property along Cottage Grove have grown out so far that they completely block the sidewalk.
Tree has poison ivy and *many* other invasives growing around and up the trunk.
Tree in the front yard has branches hanging down over the sidewalk. Owner needs to trim the branches.
Plants are overgrowing onto sidewalk (NE corner of property) block pedestrian and wheelchair traffic.
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.
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.
