Overgrown backyard area infested with poison ivy and rodents. Acknowledged

1230 Clifton St Raleigh, NC - Mordecai

The backyard area of this property that extends to the property line has been left unattended for quite a while. The overgrowth of ivy and poison ivy has become a breeding ground for rats. Can the city please send an inspector to this property to check out this area? The house is vacant and is currently for sale.

  The whole area is covered in poison ivy. No one has done anything to alter the state of this yard. If the violations have been cleared, I'm curious as to what they actually were. The poison ivy is coming through into my backyard and it is getting worse by the day. I urge you to take a second look.

  Thank you. We will ask Housing & Environmental Inspections to take another look at this property. When they have responded, an update will be posted.

  Upon inspection of the rear property line earlier this week, our inspector will be sending out a notice to address the vines encroaching the rear property line. The deadline will be approximately May 17, 2013.

  This is our next-door neighbor and the property has just been sold. I just met the new buyer yesterday. He is a builder who will renovating and reselling the property. He said he'd already received the "welcome to the neighborhood" notice and has every intention of complying and cleaning up the overgrowth before re-selling the property. What David T. reported about the poison ivy is true. It is way out of control. It comes over into our yard as well and we're constantly spraying it. Still, our cat gets into it and shares it with my husband who is highly allergic. I'm hopeful this will get fixed. The new buyer was very nice so I think he will be as good as his word to take care of it.
