NW corner of lot is overgrown - partially blocking sidewalk along Cottage Grove. Annual occurrence.
NW corner of lot is overgrown - partially blocking sidewalk along Cottage Grove. Annual occurrence.
Large trees-of-heaven on the west property line.
Plants are starting to block sidewalk. This has happened before at this same location. Not obvious which house is responsible, 723 (privately owned) or the property just to the west (715, IU-owned.) Side note: the uReport map has the address listed as "805 N. Park", but the porch is facing 11th and the address on the house says "723".
Trees of heaven in backyard along the west property line. Clearly visible from alleys.
Medium-sized trees of heaven along the back (west) property line.
Case# 203083 should be associated with 819 N. Grant. That property also has a pending tree-of-heaven report (currently about to bloom), but the poison ivy and other invasives are now covering half the sidewalk along Grant. The responsibility for the mess is likely shared with the adjacent property to the south (815 N. Grant), but it is not obvious where the property line actually is.
Multiple large trees-of-heaven growing on north and east lot lines of property.
Large tree-of-heaven growing on west side of building alongside Grant Street.
Large tree-of-heaven growing on south side of lot.
There's no lighting on this small street, and the sidewalks are somewhat uneven. Would be nice to have some lighting for when it gets dark so early.
