There has been debris from a taken-down tree in the front of the yard for over six months.
This property in Hyde Park is poorly maintained. Zillow estimates its value at over $1.2M The weeds in the lawn exceed the 8" height limit and there are some weeds in excess of 3'. The vacant lot next to it at the corner of Olcott Blvd and Taylor Court also is overgrown, is an eyesore and devalues the neighborhood.
In the alley behind the Topos building, there is a grease bin filled with grease and trash that is continually leaking old, used grease onto the ground. If you glance down the alley, you can see a long line down the length of the alley where cars have tracked the grease from one end to the other. when it rains more grease goes everywhere. its been like this for a several weeks at least.
Lawn has not been mowed this spring. Grass is very tall.
Trash has been here for several weeks. They only dispose of what fits in the can. This is what it looks like after trash pickup.
Trash is everywhere on this property.
Grass is about a foot high in the yard and bush is over the sidewalk.
The owner of this renter occupied building (Tariq Khan) and/or the tenants have not taken their garbage out to the curb for pickup in three weeks. Also, this home has rain gutters and downspouts that go directly into the ground or into areas between the home and neighboring houses - which is causing water damage to the neighboring houses.
