dead trees, large branches falling, does the city handle such problems
New grass and tress were planted all along the new bike path last year (along E Rogers Rd behind Winding Brook Ct). There has been no maintenance of this areas since last year and now the grass and greenspace is completely overgrown with weeds. Excellent work in repairing the bike path and walkway, but ongoing maintenance plan for the green space adjacent to the path is needed.
This property is once again in violation of grass and weeds being above the 8 inch limit. Complaints were filed a month ago, and while the property owner did cut a portion of their yard (which ended up looking horrible and then had turkey vultures in it) they did not cut all of it. They part they did not cut in the backyard is many feet high now, and the part they did cut is back up over the 8 inch limit. Maybe a mowing service should be suggested to the owner. Hopefully they are facing higher violation fees since this is an ongoing issue. Also before tickets are closed, there should be a check that the whole yard was taken care of, not just part of it.
The yard and home are not being taken care of. The yard is frequently overgrown and the home itself appears to be in disrepair.
I rent a home from Olympus Properties. Lawn service is included in my lease, but I am having trouble getting them to mow the lawn. I have called them twice about this, both times grass is 10-12 inches high. This will be the third time. It had been 3+ weeks since it's been mowed. I let them know about the city ordinance, but am still having issues. Thank you for your help.
