Excessive weed-covered shrubbery starting to block alley between 1008 and 1012 S. Washington St.
Trail not cleared properly of storm damage, trees hanging precariously directly over trail
Fox won't leave our back yard. We have kids and pets and we are worried about rabies and public health issues. Fox is leaving carcasses of random critters around as well. Fox went after our small dog.
The trees and weeds are overgrown on the north side of Prospect Street west of Madison St. The trees are hanging down so low they touch vehicles as they go by. The entire bank has been overgrown for years with trees and weeds. The whole bank of weeds and trees needs to be cut down and maintained. Even though there have been previous reports, the city has never fully addressed this issue. This city property needs to be maintained to minimize rodents, poisonous weeds, and to maintain property values. What is it going to take for the city to finally and continually address this issue? Also, a large dead tree at the rear of the property is unsightly.
Yard is severely overgrown. House looks abandoned.

Shrubbery along boundary between properties - 715 E. 11th (IU-owned) and 723 E. 11th (private) - has grown so much that it is blocking the sidewalk. It is not obvious which of the two properties is responsible for the trimming, but it looks closer to 715.
The tree in the front of my home is jeopardizing my and my neighbor's roofs. We have three large silver maples here surrounding my home. The neighbor's giant, healthy silver maple broke in multiple points during the recent storms, destroying my roof and the back half of my house. It's costing about 15k in repairs, and my insurance took half of my claim amount away in non-recoverable depreciation and the deductible, so I only have enough to fix the roof even though my ceilings, floors, walls and electrical fixtures were all damaged as well. Additionally, the flood damage caused extensive mold growth throughout the back of my house. We are trying to work together to take care of these trees so this does not happen again, especially since I have to replace the whole roof. They are working to address one of the trees by taking out a loan, but the one in front of my house is on city property, and it would be good for us to get those larger overhanging branches trimmed back. Howe St becomes like a wind tunnel over on this corner when it storms and the trees are dangerous at that height. Additionally, there is a tree on the back side of my property in the alleyway between my house and the Optima Dermatology Center. The tree is overgrown and pulling down on the power lines that are connecting the pole to my house and my other neighbor's house. I will contact Duke about this, but they said on their website that they will only address the portion that is affecting the main power lines, not the lower power lines. In this particular case, the tree is affecting both the lower and upper lines, so I'm not sure whose jurisdiction that would be. It would only let me include one image, but I have three that I can send you to get a better look.
There is a hole filled with gravel (which is somewhat washed out) in the crosswalk at this location. Appears to he leftover from fiber project
