It has been an ongoing problem for several years. Very much overgrown and unkempt. Unfair to neighbors on all sides

Owner of 1233 Oak Street needs to take care of trimming trees, or pay for the City to do it.

Coatesville City Code, Chapter 79:

§ 79-3
Tree trimming required.
All trees shall be kept trimmed by the property owner of the property on which any tree is located so that the minimum clearance of any overhang over any public walk shall be at least 10 feet, and the minimum clearance of any branches over any public street or highway shall be at least 15 feet. However, the City reserves the right to designate a higher clearance on certain streets or highways where heavy traffic or other conditions make it appropriate, said clearances to be established by resolution of City Council, which such resolution shall be attached and made an "Addendum to this Code" without the enactment of an ordinance. All trees standing on private property and having branches projecting over a public walk, street or highway shall be kept trimmed by the owner of such property so that the lowest branches shall have the minimum clearance specified above or such clearance as may be specified by the City.
§ 79-4
Tree trimming penalty.
In the event that the owner of such property shall neglect or refuse to trim such tree upon notification, in writing, by the City to do so, the City may, after the expiration of the date specified in said notification, cause such trimming to be done at the expense of the owner, and the entire cost thereof shall be a lien upon said premises and shall be filed and collected by the City in the same manner as municipal claims are filed and collected. Notice shall be sent by any of the following: certified mail, regular mail or posting of the property. In emergency circumstances, the notice identified above may require immediate action by the property owner. Except for such emergency situations, at least 10 days' notice is required before action to trim a tree may be undertaken as noted previously.

I have to look at this every day. I finally took weed killer and soaked down the alley way. The 2 houses on Walnut both have pools and fences. Both have done nothing about the weeds. Then there is the house on Oak..they refuse to take ownership of the weeds and brush in their back yard..find it pathetic since the home owner is a baseball coach at the highschool. Other proprty is under forclosure and that home was owned by a high ranking casd administrator.

Forwarded to the city manager. Thanks for taking pride in our city!!"

Thanks for nothing Marie. Weeds are still there!!!!!

I'm sorry nothing was done. I also apologize for not being your ward rep. I don't live anywhere near you but will try again. I will also bring this up at our next council meeting on 9/22.
Other ways you can get this information to the city are:
City manager- 610-384-2300 or KHudson@coatesville.org
Or come to a council meeting for non agenda citizens comments.

The city does not get these notifications. I get them as a resident.
I will continue to fight for you until your quality of life is acceptable. I will make an effort to get pics today.

I came out and took many photos. I will pursue this today. Hopefully you will see codes tommorow.

Just so you know, David Collins is your ward rep. He represents the fourth ward.

Appreciate the contacts, Marie! Time to make a showing on the City's home turf...email, telephone, and meeting! If you feel marginalized this looks like the way to go.

I just emailed again. I have not received any information. I will keep trying.

Let's fill up that email box and phone message capacity!

Weeds where cleared on Tuesday 09/16 - Hope they do not grow into the street next year.

Well if they do, you will know exactly what to do! I'm glad it's fixed.
