This property has been on the market a short time, should be closing in a few days, but they have yet to mow their yard. I believe someone mowed a portion of their backyard for them, but the sides and front and right around the house in the back hasn't been mowed. I hope the new owners don't start their ownership with a yard that hasn't been mowed. Also, not mowing brings more animals around, causing more nuisance. Thanks
Grass is too long. Also, tree-of-heaven growing on property.
Grass is too long in backyard. Parker Rental.
More tree-of-heaven for HAND to deal with. It is coming up on the west side of this house, as it has done for years. Only a few feet tall at present, but it must be eradicated because it is a prohibited plant. While there, you might check the dense overgrowth between 300 and 306 E. 11th. There could be other prohibited plants lurking in that mess - maybe bush honeysuckle. But be careful of the retaining wall along Lincoln - it's just about to collapse.
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.

Japanese knotweed (prohibited plant) growing on north end of lot, close to and visible from the alley. Another opportunity for HAND to connect with residents and make more friends.
