At the intersection of the alleys in the middle of the block bordered by Cottage Grove, 11th, Indiana, and Fess Streets, there is a large overgrowth (looks to be primarily bush honeysuckle) that has become so large that it is blocking about a third of the N/S alley that extends north from Hillcrest Apartments. This is not a major thoroughfare, but it does get vehicular traffic. The address "708 N. Indiana" came up when the location was clicked, but that is not right. It is probably IU property that is connected to the Hillcrest parking lot north of Cottage Grove.
Neighbor reporting. Yard is covered in trash—gives the neighborhood a bad look.
Excessive Growth
Student roommates at 707 S Clifton repeatedly do not put their trash out - and when they do, after multiple weeks, it is not in keeping with the city's rules: overflowing cans spilling out, other containers not acceptable for pickup (are there even trash stickers affixed to the cans?). This is our second complaint. We have spoken with two of the tenants now, one of whom said he'd "get to it in a couple of days" and one of whom blamed his roommates for not taking care of the problem (he's on our side; he keeps telling them....). Attached are pictures from today, Easter Sunday April 16. This trash has been sitting for weeks, not put out for pickup. Perhaps it will be dealt with, for tomorrow morning. But I'm not holding my breath.
Trash scattered all over property.
Trash in backyard, including a washing machine and other large items.
Weeds and rusty cans and rusted swing set. Deer are living in the yard and eating all the neighbors flowers. Neighbors are going to call everyday.
Over grown yard.
Trash about yard.
