t I am writing to report a severe public nuisance and hazardous property condition at 1711 S Highland Ave . Following last week's storm, a large tree on the owner's property fell down. The resulting debris—including the massive tree trunk and multiple large branches—has been left piled up directly by my yard line. This accumulation is attracting pests, rodents, and snakes into my yard, interfering with the safe enjoyment of my property. Furthermore, the neighboring yard is completely overgrown with large clusters of Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum). This is a highly toxic, prohibited invasive species that poses a severe chemical burn and ingestion risk to humans and domestic animals. The plants are well over the city's 8-inch growth limit and are spreading toward my property line. I attempted to address these safety hazards with the property owner directly, but she refused to cooperate or permit further contact. Because of the immediate health and safety hazards posed by both the structural storm debris and the toxic vegetation, I request an inspection from the HAND Department to issue a Notice of Violation and enforce removal. |
