Description

Look at the photos, in another 6 months you might not be able to see the house. The stop sign is covered with vegetation and the street signs are next. Currently the vegetation is 5-7’ tall, well past the ordinance of 12”. Plus the owner does not live in thr house but uses it fir an office which is against zoning, this is a residential home not commercial. Would not be surprised if people are squatting? Cannot see the back of house from alley - two vehicles being swallowed by vegetation.
