Yard growth is completely covering sidewalk entrance
Yard growth is completely covering sidewalk entrance
Theres is excessive growth of bushes and branches all over this lot. In the summer, there is poison ivy and the overgrowth blocks the sidewalk. There is also a dead tree leaning towards the neighbouring house. This is a concern because a tree next to this one fell during the December storm. The lot address does not have a number: it is on W Cottage Grove Av between 1208 and 1212.
Has not mowed in 6 weeks, overgrowth on our property and all around fence line. Excessive growth around the house and inside the fence. Weeds over 6ft tall. Reported twice last year. In addition, not once cleaned off the sidewalk for snow. I will report this this year as well.
Lack of pruning, or care, of flora on property. Ground cover, invasive plants, weeds, vines, grow onto public sidewalk area, and onto surrounding private properties, along the property lines.
Poison ivy growing next to sidewalk
This is an apparently abandoned house, boarded up (except basement door is open) and yard is severely overgrown, encroaching on sidewalk.
This yard is all bamboo. The bamboo has grown out considerably into the street. and now some the stalks are completely parallel to the road and hang down considerably. Trucks would brush through it whenever. But cars just miss it, unless it rains when it actually is a bit dangerous hitting your car. The sidewalk in front of the house is impassable, too, with a lot of weed growth. Quite the neighborhood eyesore.
On the south side of E Cottage Grove, between numbers 714 and 712, there is poison ivy (among the other vines) on a tree on private property not too far from the sidewalk. The house in the photo is 712, but upon looking at the maps and street view, I think the tree is on the 714 property. I figure I can leave that to you to figure out officially.
On the north side of E Cottage, in the middle of number 805 (the house is to the right, a vacant area is to the left, but it's all 805) there is poison ivy on a tree on private property near the sidewalk.
East Morningside Drive. One yard on south side has had limb branch pile out for months if you can request remove. Also further down the sidewalk is impeded by overhanging limbs and would be AWESOME if you can ask they cut them.
