There is excessive plant growth practically covering the house.
There is excessive plant growth practically covering the house.
Bamboo untrimmed growing over 20 ft tall, stalks drooping into neighbor's yard.
Demolition crew at old hospital site is not spraying down the dust with water as contracted.
Bamboo overgrowth 1115 W 6th Street's SouthEast corner fence line is spilling over to easements of the three adjacent neighbors yards and easements. In addition to the rampant spread of this address's bamboo cluster, there is very serious concern that the utility pipes, water and gas lines, that run along the easements will be damaged or impinged upon. There is a city policy that overgrowth in yard cannot exceed a height of 8". Some of this bamboo overgrowth is over 15 feet! I love plants and I don't want to have bad relations with my neighbors, but bamboo is a terrifyingly overly successful plant species that belongs in a container. After hearing a story about bamboo on WFIU, I was heartened to learn that there might be some support from the city to help with this very insistent bamboo problem.
This house has all kinds of things outside that are NOT meant for outdoor use. A filing cabinet, for instance. This address has been reported multiple times and nothing gets done. Can you please tell them something other than, "Put a tarp over it"! How about mandating that they actually clean it up by a certain time frame. Never happens.
An anonymous complainant alerted the Solid Waste District about "illegal dumping" of ash wood, as well as concrete and trash at this location. We did a quick inspection and found wood and other materials piled on the ground at the property. Additionally there is a trailer that appears to contain household waste, and there is trash around one of the buildings (on Allen Street side). Feel free to contact me if you need additional information!
yard not maintained, overgrown, property vacant
yard overgrown, homeless squatting at property, neglected yard for months
420 Eastside Drive has been for years and still is a junk yard. There are several vehicles that have not moved in ages, there is trash in the yard (empty soda cans, beverage container). How about City Ordinance 15.16.020 (6): a vehicle that is six or more model years old and mechanically inoperable, and is left on private property continuously in a location visible from public property for more than thirty days. The picture was taken from the Hunter foot path. This yard is far from the pearl of the neighborhood.
