Yard overgrown
This house has been abandoned for at least 2 yrs, roof falling in, neighbors fearful of squatters. What is the status?
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.
bamboo has again encroached on sidewalk. Weeds growing up in gaps on sidewalk make the sidewalk impassible. Pedestrians must walk in 6th Street to get past this house. Cars approaching the intersection on Elm Street must pull into the street to see if traffic is traveling east on 6th. This is a recurrent problem and was not handled by the city the last time I complained. This is plain and simple neglect.
Mr. Swartz lives at 1000 W. Countryside Lane and he stated that 4 properties along Countryside have not mowed the lawns and the grass is very tall.
