Description

Elderly man's property is a mess. Anytime the City is notified someone comes out and mows the lawn. The whole property should be condemned. Lackluster response by the City. But I trim my bushes and the City is on my door because I had not been able to finish clearing trimming. I live in a house that sat empty for 4 years. It was a dump. In one year it has made a complete turnaround. And I get someone on my doorstep for taking care of my property? I am threatened with a fine for improving my property? But we have complained about the neighbor on the corner for years and nothing is done. Happy to keep improving my house even if the City shows up...but be fair. Take care of the house on Concord and Eden. Thank you. No more blight. I was threatened with a fine, but his house has been a dump for years with no real response. Our property values are being affected. Please fix the problem for good. Perhaps a fine might work there or offer the poor man some help please.

also asked...
Q. Is the problem blight (trash, etc) outside, or is it a problem with the building (illegal use, housing code violation, etc)?
