Corner of Swain and Atwater, on Atwater: tree branches hanging over the sidewalk, making it impossible to walk on sidewalk without being hit in the face by the branches.
Unkempt lawn at 1704 S Mitchell; Also partially unkempt lawn on the corner of Eastside and Maxwell under the big branch that fell off a dead tree weeks ago. The tree needs to be cut down before the next big storm. It could fall on the road.
Trash and tall grass
The house at 810 W. 4th St. is unoccupied, but rented as an Airbnb with regularity. In a neighborhood of modest homes with mostly well-tended yards, it has a front yard that is untended, and a side and backyard that are wildly overgrown, sometimes harboring an urban deer population. The tall grass and weeds in the backyard, along with an abandoned cast-iron tub, contribute to the difficult mosquito problem in the neighborhood. Apparently because there is no home owner nearby, this commercial venture shows little concern for the well-being of the neighborhood. Thank you for your efforts.
Corner of Walker and First: overgrown empty lot. Also, across from there on First, 2 lawns next to each other that seem not to have seen a mower for a while either, one is 1018.
Caller reported that a rental home at the corner of Rogers and Davis has been empty for several months, and the grass is now 3 feet high. Thanks for your help.
out on west 3rd street at the intersection of 3rd & yancy, there's a vacant business building, & the yard hasn't been mowed yet this year. i think it used to be "B&L communications". as i walk by the front on the public sidewalk, the weeds are up to my waist. one time recently after dark, i could tell there was an animal scurrying around in there, but i couldn't see what it was since it was hidden. felt scary to walk by there, but i have to because of my situation with where i live & work.
Received a call from resident's son at 1118 S. Rogers Street that tree shrub on property of 1117 S. Rogers has overgrown and obstructed the side walk. Resident's son indicated that mother is elderly and has had to deal with the issue for the last 5 years.
