820 country club. Weeds 3 feet high. Pollen and ticks. Can’t even enjoy our own yards with allergies
Had trash in the back yard for a while. A year or two it’s becoming a problem and an eye sore
1807 E Second Street: I think the lawn has not been mowed this year yet. Repeat offenders.
Trash cans blocking 4 days after pickup
The tenant leaves their trash can on the sidewalk all week long, obstructing pedestrian traffic.
The same trash, including glass and open bags of food waste, has been occupying the sidewalk and yard next to the sidewalk since Monday evening.
Repeat offender: trash in yard next to trash can, 1709 Circle Drive (at least I think that is called Circle Drive, otherwise it is Southdowns, hard to tell which street this house is in). It is close to the corner of Eastside Drive.
