My neighbors have had bags of garbage collecting on their front porch for weeks, and now it has been dumped in their front yard. I’m fairly certain there’s a pile of bags in the back too.

Large (20+ ') Ailanthus altissima (so-called "tree of heaven", noxious and prohibited) trees growing on NE corner of lot, close to sidewalks. Another opportunity for HAND to connect with residents and make more friends.

Japanese knotweed (prohibited plant) growing on north end of lot, close to and visible from the alley. Another opportunity for HAND to connect with residents and make more friends.

"Tree-Keeper" database reports 56 Ailanthus altissima ("tree of heaven") trees being maintained by the City. Given this is an invasive plant and is known to be the primary food source for Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly), should the City be obliged to remove these trees that are listed on the State list: ("Prohibited Invasive Terrestrial Plants [312 IAC 18-3-25]", https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/iisc/invasive-plants.html) ? If HAND is going to proactively threaten residents by "asking" them to remove something that is not on the State list (e.g., bamboo), it seems profoundly hypocritical for them to not address a serious ecological issue that they are helping to advance.

This house has had several bags of trash in their yard for over a month. Animals have gotten into it and spread it around and instead of putting it in their trash cans (which are right next to the torn bags) they continue to ignore it and trash has been spreading down the sidewalk and the street.

There is a large, bed-like object that has been lying in a gully in the backyard of this property for at least a year, though it's not obvious that it is indeed on this property rather than on property that belongs to 214 or 216 E. Cottage Grove. It is right by the alley.
