Large (20+ ') Ailanthus altissima (so-called "tree of heaven", noxious and prohibited) trees growing on NE corner of lot, close to sidewalks. Another opportunity for HAND to connect with residents and make more friends.

They are pouring drinks and liquid (not water) including straws, limes, plastic from cups into the sewage drain by the building.
trash bags piling up outside of residence, covered with tarp; becoming exposed: including food products and trash bags torn open. Problem is getting worse.
Japanese knotweed on property speading into neighbor's yard.
"Tree-Keeper" database reports 56 Ailanthus altissima ("tree of heaven") trees being maintained by the City. Given this is an invasive plant and is known to be the primary food source for Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly), should the City be obliged to remove these trees that are listed on the State list: ("Prohibited Invasive Terrestrial Plants [312 IAC 18-3-25]", https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/iisc/invasive-plants.html) ? If HAND is going to proactively threaten residents by "asking" them to remove something that is not on the State list (e.g., bamboo), it seems profoundly hypocritical for them to not address a serious ecological issue that they are helping to advance.
Trash has been piled up outside for a few weeks and has been rummaged through. It is now spread out over some of the driveway. There does not appear to be any tenants living in the home.
Excessive Growth, vagrancy, structure failure, trash and discarded clothing littering the premises.
There is a lot of trash in the front yard. But the backyard is even way worse. You can see the the backyard from the opposing road on 20th Street when you drive by, and it's been like that for well over a week. The backyard is just full of beer bottles and red solo cups and all kinds of trash.
There is overgrown grass at the intersection coming out of the trailer park on Willis Dr. that is making it difficult to see traffic. Also at the lot between AT&T and the Bowling Alley, including bushes & trees coming out of the road and over the guard-rail.
