It was reported several times about excessive yard growth. Their backyard is still overgrown causing unwanted pests in neighbors yards. It is also not safe for their children to play in.
Duplicate of ticket 180481, created on 7.1.22 and closed WITHOUT resolution by Maria McCormick on 7.6.22. I don't know, Maria. Does this look "resolved" to you? Property owner of 909 W Cardinal Ct fails to maintain property on the south side of the "creek", resulting in the attached. Overgrowth along the "creek", overgrowth in shrubs, bushes, and trees, and for the past two years (no thanks to the City), skunks have been living in the den created just on the other side of our fence. Husband routinely mows over or startles snakes when mowing two-three strips outside our fence. We're in a city neighborhood, for crying out loud. Kids are supposed to play in the backyard?? I can't believe the growth along the "creek" is aiding drainage at all, nor am I understanding how any of this is hard to find or hard to see, assuming anyone actually performs a site visit. All we want is to be able to enjoy the backyard. This? What's in these pictures? That's not why we moved here.
Duplicate of ticket 180481, created on 7.1.22 and closed WITHOUT resolution by Maria McCormick on 7.6.22. Not "resolved", Maria. New and previous property owners of 917 W Cardinal Ct have both failed to maintain property on the south side of the "creek", resulting in the attached. The actual yard on the north side of the "creek", or overgrown drainage ditch, has been mown once or twice this year. Once, coincidentally, just after the first ticket was submitted. But the property on the south side of the ditch, also belonging to 917 W Cardinal Ct, has not seen a blade in all of 2022. This has resulted in all kinds of extra wildlife living in the grass and wandering / slithering into yards. Their neighbors should be able to enjoy their own properties.
Excessive Bamboo overgrowth in ally behind her house and it’s creeping into my yard and over on top of my roof of house.
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.)
Very tall bushes blocking sight for neighbors and creating serious hazard. Resident has been informed but not taken action.

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.)
