Cars often seem to be parked on the lawn in front of this house on weekends and evenings.

Caller states cars are parking in front lawn, and tenants will not buy parking passes.
Always parking on the grass. Looks like it is over-occupied this summer! Also park immediately to the west in the alley on the grass as well.
Reported this once but I believe I may have put in the wrong address. I believe the address is 515 S. Washington or at least in the 500 block on the left side of the street. I included a picture to show the violation and location. Thank you for looking into this matter.
Green Jeep Cherokee parked in the grass.
A car is consistently parked on the lawn at 523 E University St.
There is a thick layer of gravel that has washed across the sidewalk at 411 s Lincoln.
Pulling out of this alley either direction onto Woodlawn is a hazard, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. To the right (on Subway/apartment bldg. side) is shrubbery that completely blocks the view of the sidewalk and street. Approaching it from the alley, we can't see if any vehicles or pedestrians are approaching from the north, traveling south. To the left of the alley is a rental house that has a shrub or tree or some other type of greenery that hangs far enough forward that we can't see what's approaching from the south, traveling north. We must ease our vehicles out into the street in order to see what's coming on Woodlawn in either direction. If we're turning right (to head north) when we ease out into the street for visibility, when we see that it's clear to turn onto Woodlawn it forces the front half of the vehicle to swing into the southbound lane. The shrub to the right of the alley (Subway building) needs to be trimmed drastically or removed altogether for safety's sake since the view of pedestrians and vehicle/bicycle traffic is completely blocked. And the tree/bush on the other side of the rental house to the left needs to be trimmed back enough for visibility. This alley is used daily by many. It contains IU parking spaces and parking for residential rental property, and U.S. Mail vehicles travel it daily for delivery. A colleague reported this to the city last year and nothing came of it.
