At least one large tree-of-heaven growing on the south property line of this lot, surrounded by many other invasive plants that are overgrown and starting to impede the sidewalk.
Possible trees-of-heaven on the north end of lot along the alley. Very large. Please check.
Many trees-of-heaven growing in backyard (southside of house) around deck. Also, *large* tree-of-heaven close to the SW corner of lot.
Many trees-of-heaven growing in backyard along the alley (east property line).
This has been reported previously, but somehow the girl they sent the last time (the one who relies on an "app") missed it. Japanese knotweed is growing on the south end of the lot behind the shack out back along the alley and is invading the adjacent property from the SW corner of the lot. Also, the attempt to remove the knotweed from the west side of the house has failed - it grew up immediately after being cut at the base. Of course, cutting knotweed only makes it spread. Assumption is that was clearly communicated to the property owner by HAND. Also, burdock is growing on the south half of the east side of the property.
NW corner of lot has Japanese knotweed and tree-of-heaven growing along the property line, providing privacy. Not clear if it is this address or 214 E. 11th or both, but given that HAND doesn't like these plants, they will need to be removed by someone.
North side of lot along alley is overgrown with huge vines growing up the trees (wintercreeper, ivy, etc.) that are a hazard. Also, bush honeysuckle and tree-of-heaven growing on east property line in the back near the alley, growing into neighboring property.
"Campus Walk - Grant North" apartment building has tree-of-heaven (!) growing around its dumpster on the NE corner of the lot by the alley. There are small ones, but also a very large one that is the source of the problem.
Japanese knotweed growing all around deck-like area in backyard on NE corner of lot.
Yard not cut
