More overgrown yard Looks like the house has been abandoned and probably has squatters in it. Again this has been going on for years. Nice how the city enforce the code so unequally. I understand the does have some leeway to interpret the code but this seems to fall outside of that. Drives Down the neighbors home values and or rental income.
Overgrown yard
Poison ivy growing from lawn is dangling over retaining wall into sidewalk. West sidewalk on Madison, just north of intersection with Smith. Some of the poison ivy is disguised by adjacent Virginia Creeper.
Tree adjacent to east sidewalk on Fairview (near intersection with Howe) is covered in poison ivy. The poison ivy is dangling over the sidewalk at face- and shin-height. I unfortunately realized this was poison ivy the hard way. The vines appear woody and hardy, its leaves are very large, and it seems to be fruiting. Please remove before someone else walking on the sidewalk brushes by it and has a serious reaction to contacting the plant.
Very large, female tree-of-heaven covered in wintercreeper and in full bloom. Property is owned by IU, address approximately 720 E. Atwater (south side of street about 1/2 block west of Optometry Building.)
city notified resident on 6/6. Still not mowed. 6/12 and counting.
Hopewell E. 2nd St. area Overdrawn yards
Potential fire hazard caused by plant overgrowth. Severely overgrown grass/plants between the public sidewalk and the Henderson Crossing apartments (the building closest to the intersection of Atwater and Henderson). Several are long enough to drape over the sidewalk. There are outdoor AC/condenser units next to the apartment building, but they're almost completely covered by the grass/weeds. Some of the weeds are taller than the condenser units. General recommendation is to keep 1-3 feet of clearance around these units to prevent objects from blocking the intake for these units. Maybe there's some sort of guard preventing the plants from actually blocking the intake, but I couldn't see any - I only knew the units were there because I could hear them, they're almost completely concealed by overgrowth. (Info current as of early this morning.)
Plants along sidewalk have grown out enough to impede pedestrians, and they keep growing. Could be responsibility of 713 E. Cottage Grove, or maybe both.
Tree of heaven just starting in front yard.
