Caller to HAND lives at 120 W Pinewood Dr. wants to file complaint against his neighbors living across the street for grass not mowed. Said last year it was never mowed.
Excessive growth, structure failure, trash, clothing and garbage strewn about. Neighbors on east use as a place to throw their garbage. Been reported several times .
They have yet to mow their yard.

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
Overgrown grass and dead trees been sitting for weeks now

"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.
