Excessive Growth
1004 W Cottage Grove AVE

We've had a problem with invasive Tree of Heaven ever since the city came a couple years ago to clear the overgrowth in the "alley" space at the northwest corner of the property. Since then, the overgrowth has of course returned, but it's now more aggressive, with the inclusion of Tree of Heaven, which is spreading to the rest of the property. It might be a good idea to clear that overgrowth again. Perhaps there are other preventative measures that can be taken.
Trash can has been left out front of house for 2-3 weeks. Elkins has been notified over a week ago.
The over growth along Prospect Street west of Madison Avenue is totally out of control. This is the city's property as the owner's property line is within about a foot of the house. Grass and weeds have overgrown the street, brush and trees are hanging over the street. Although parking is allowed along the north side of the street, it is not practical with all the over growth. Please, remedy this problem to maintain the beauty of our neighborhood and city. Also, I have made calls for three years running and reported this problem previously on ureport. Nothing has been done to remedy the problem.
When uReport case #184684 was submitted, the interface assigned it to the wrong address when the map was clicked on. The tree of issue is on the east side of Dunn, right by the parking lot for 502 E. 12th Street and standing on the NW corner of the lot for 820 N. Dunn. There is poison ivy on the north side of the tree, with many other invasive plants growing all around the base of it.
Bamboo at the side of the house is growing into neighbors yard.
Overgrown yard, hazardous material dumped in the yard from renovations. Nails, insulations and other materials
Our dumpster is frequently overflowing and is not taken out on a regular enough schedule. There is often trash spread all over the yard around the dumpster, animals getting in the trash and scattering it, and food/animal waste all over the ground around the dumpster. I have asked our property to increase the amount of times the dumpster is emptied, specifically around this time of year, but they do not act on those requests and this continues to happen throughout the year.
