Our neighbor has what we think is Japanese Knotweed, which we have heard is invasive and is beginning to come into all of our neighboring yards in droves. Is there anything that can be done? We don't want to upset our neighbor but also don't want it to take over multiple yards.
Over 5ft tall poison hemlock directly off sidewalk across from Chambers st on Rogers. This is highly toxic for humans & animals. It's often mistaken for Queen Anne's Lace, a non toxic plant that people like to cut for flowers. This is a dangerous look alike that pedestrians might be think is safe to handle. It isn't! Please cut these down for safety
Front yard is full of weeds and grass that have not been mowed this year. Appears to definitely exceed the 8" height limit ordinance.
The yard is heavily infested with the yellow-flowering invasive weed Lesser Celandine that the city sent out a flier about, but the house is unoccupied and up for sale, so it’s not clear anyone would receive that notification or be responsible for removing/poisoning the plants. I can see a few plants in the adjacent yards along Brown Ridge, too.
Grass getting over a foot tall
Overhanging branches from a tree. They hang so low that they strike cars.
Yard is overgrown to the point where the house itself is barely visible from the street.
