Excessive Growth
726 W Dixie ST
- Case Date:
- 8/8/2019
Neighbor's house is barely visible due to overgrown plants. There is an infestation of rats, mice, moles, and snakes throughout their property, inside and outside. We keep our house well-maintained, but found evidence of rats and mice in our attic. We have an a/c unit up there and the wires were chewed. It was a costly repair and we were told that there could have been a fire. Numerous neighbors have talked to the homeowner at this property, but nothing has been done for years. We would really appreciate the city's immediate assistance in this matter before something serious occurs. Thank you!
Weeds and grass has been allowed to become wildly overgrown along the drainage ditch at the bottom of the valley in Crestmont Park. There is no reason that should be happening. It's not to prevent erosion. Grass doesn't have to be 3 feet tall to prevent erosion. It just keeps it from drying out and causes it to attract mosquitoes among other things. In addition, invasive vines have climbed and wrapped around many of the trees and many of the trees are surrounded by overgrown areas containing invasive honeysuckle and others. Not acceptable in one of our City parks.
The home at 700 S. Highland (Southwest corner of E. University and S. Highland) has extensive overgrowth of weeds and tree branches into the sidewalk on S. Highland. The sidewalk has become impassable in some spots and damaged in others. Probably worth a visit by the city, and a citation.

Downed tree on neighbor's property. Downspouts draining onto neighbor's property.
Weeds overhanging sidewalk on SW and SE corners of property, but it's not clear if plants belong to this property or the neighboring ones.
