Invasive Japanese knotweed growing on west side of house and south side of property along alley.
Invasive Japanese knotweed growing on west side of house and south side of property along alley.
HAND has left a notice on the "front door" of this house (12th Street side), but the actual door that is used to get into the house is the deck door off the alley. Current tenants probably will never see the notice unless it is moved to the door that they use.
Trash bins being stored on street.
Japanese knotweed on property speading into neighbor's yard.
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.
I am using this address as a general locator. I tried to walk from my house in Bittner Woods west on Moores Pike to meet a friend at Crumble in Renwick but had to walk in the on the road itself to get to the intersection at sare road and moores pike. There is only one home owner along that route who shoveled. I believe much of that could be city property going over the creek just before reaching the intersection. It just would be nice to be able to walk in that direction without having to walk in the road.
Bamboo to the S of this address or N of 3108 N Ramble Road W.
will not comply with sorting of recycling; have done courtesy dumps for resident. not sorted again today. thanks.
This home is left overgrown and is an eyesore on the Blue Ridge community. The weeds growing in the curb where it meets the asphalt are standing over a foot tall. The yard itself is well over a foot tall. The owner will occasionally mow a amsll section of this small yard, I suspect to meet some expectation of the city. This property truly detracts from the beauty of this well developed community and damages the property values of the homeowers in Blue Ridge.
