During the year, likely due to heavy construction equipment near my house the street to get to parking has become dilapidated. At this point whenever I pull into my driveway, the bottom of my car is hitting the ground and potentially being damaged.
Grass is too long. Also, tree-of-heaven growing on property.
Grass is too long in backyard. Parker Rental.
Public entrance to this store is inaccessible
More tree-of-heaven for HAND to deal with. It is coming up on the west side of this house, as it has done for years. Only a few feet tall at present, but it must be eradicated because it is a prohibited plant. While there, you might check the dense overgrowth between 300 and 306 E. 11th. There could be other prohibited plants lurking in that mess - maybe bush honeysuckle. But be careful of the retaining wall along Lincoln - it's just about to collapse.
Japanese knotweed on property speading into neighbor's yard.
Retaining wall on NW corner of 10th/Grant is collapsing (on-going problem), and one of the large stones is now lying on the sidewalk.
Trash has been piled up outside for a few weeks and has been rummaged through. It is now spread out over some of the driveway. There does not appear to be any tenants living in the home.
Just a suggestion for the next time any work is planned for Grant Street: At the intersections with both 8th and 9th streets, there are some storm sewer grates alongside the road that are too accessible, in that their design is completely open, with only a single metal bar across the openings. This allows animals and large pieces of trash to flow into the storm sewers. All the other grates in the neighborhood are more enclosed and safer. Might be good to switch these old ones out with ones that are similar to all the others and safer. Even a very small child might be able to fit into a couple of them, because the cross-bar on some of them is bent so much.
Over a dozen large bushes were left by 719 property. They are blocking the median and will be creating a huge mess. The property needs to clean it up. It’s going to block the sidewalk soon.
