Bags of garbage piled up against front of house.
Bags of garbage piled up against front of house.
The back yard of the property is full of trash and it is scattering to the adjoining properties. Can someone from the City come and take a look at the problem.
Excessive growth of grass and weeds, loose gravel washing onto the sidewalk and blocking Sewer drains. Trash and recycle containers being left out on curb and sidewalk
This is a blight issue. Property needs to be cleaned, maintained and secured to prevent vagrancy.
Trash has been scattered across the entire driveway for months with piles of more trash accumulating outside next to garage. Excessive growth to the point it looks like the movie setting for I Am Legend. After each storm large branches fall into street and are not picked up until neighbors just do it themselves. With the persistent amount of disregard to upkeep the outside it’s worrisome if there are hazards inside.
Grass getting over a foot tall
Wow - how can this rental be allowed to remain in this condition? MANY violations here. Trash, food, animals, car parts, unclothed children - and that is just the front yard.
South Village Ct: there is one little drain at the end of the street and when there is a down pour for a length of time it can’t handle it and water starts to back up getting quite deep in the street! One of our neighbors knows about this and will get out in the water and clean the drain, which we shouldn’t have to do. Every Tuesday is recycle day on our street and loose trash floats down to this drain. The water has come up in our driveways and yards. Hopefully this can get resolved. I have lived here 24 years and nothing has been done about it. Thank you
The yard is overgrown. There is bamboo growing on the southwest corner of the property. there is trash in the parking area. There is a large dying tree in the back yard that poses a hazard--large dead limbs are constantly dropping and the entire tree looks like it could come down on my house. I have filed a report before, I have contacted the owner. I should not have to be a nervous wreck when I go to sleep on nights like last night, thinking the tree could fall on my bedroom. This is a rental property--what about the tenants that pay to live in place that is trashed.
