Just wanted to check in on the status of the intersection issue. Thanks!

A work order has been generated for this work. We expect the tree crew to be able to complete this within about a week.

Thank you for helping our neighborhood become safer!

Thanks for reporting. I have referred this to the City’s Housing and Environmental Inspections Division. When the inspectors have had a chance to investigate I will post an update.

An inspector visited the property on 3/5/13 and found no violations at this time.

Sorry this one dropped through the cracks. We've been around a couple of times since with our mowing calendar. If there is still a problem please feel free to re-open.

To Whom It May Concern:

Someone did come today to cut the grass and weeds. However, the situation is just as bad as it was before today (and perhaps a little worse). All the grass and weed debris is now piled on the sidewalk so now there is even less space to walk than before. No edging was done on the sidewalk or at the curb. Thus in addition to the sidewalk being almost impassable, the gutter is still full of overgrown grass which inhibits the flow of water to the drain. I am enclosing a picture that I took tonight. I do not, nor do I think you will, consider this case CLOSED.

Thank you for your continued attention to this issue until it is adequately resolved.

We aren't done yet! Please give our crews time to complete the clean-up. This case went to abatement and was cleared by our Streets Department. They are coming back to complete the job. I will leave this one open until they've finished.

This has been cleared.

Our inspector has initiated a public nuisance case with a deadline of October 1. The inspector will follow up until the issue is cleared.

This house is vacant. Owners is processing of selling. Citations taped to the door just fall off into the yard. Has owner been notified in another way?

Yes, the owner is notified by mail as well. If they do not respond the City will abate the problem and bill the owner. If the owner does not pay the City places a lien on the property to collect the cost of the abatement when the property sells.

Our inspector has initiated a public nuisance case with a deadline of Sept. 24. The inspector will follow up until the issue is cleared.

Our inspector has initiated a public nuisance case with a deadline of August 31. The inspector will follow up until the issue is cleared.

This was recently mowed. No violations exist.

Who do I contact when this problem recurs? Thank you.

Right-of-way maintenance is handled by our Parks Department facilities crews. You can contact the Parks and Recreation Department main number at (919) 996-3285 or via email at prcontact@raleighnc.gov. Please note this is an unusual year. We have had three years of budget constraints from the economic downturn resulting in fewer field crews and reduced overall staffing, combined with an annual population increase of about 3% per year even during the recession, and to make matters worse it has been raining regularly this summer, causing the grass to grow at an unusually fast rate. Please be patient with our crews out there...they are working very hard to keep up. The City Council has authorized additional help for them in this year's budget and we're actively hiring now. Thanks.

Thanks. I know why this occurs but it's good to know who to call if it gets dangerously tall and apt to cause wrecks. I appreciate your response.

An inspection has been completed and a deadline of 8-19-11 given for completion.

The violations have been cleared at this address!

Our Urban Forestry team will have the public street right-of-way (ROW) identified and staked by the City Survey Crew. If the plant originates on the ROW they will remove it. If the plant originates on private property UF will issue an abatement letter to the property owner. The owner will have 15 days from receipt of the certified letter to correct the violation. If the property owner fails to correct the problem UF will forward the issue to the Inspections Department to address it with the property owner.  Ultimately the property owner will remove the obstruction or the City will and then bill the property owner. This process could take 30 to 60 days to complete.

This was mowed / maintained yesterday.

Regarding the comment from CMW & the comment from the City below, I believe the property is in violation of Sec. 12-6002 - NUISANCES PROHIBITED. This section of the municipal code broadly covers "(u) Any other condition specifically declared to be a danger..." With all due respect, I think this situation qualifies. Thank you for looking into it.

Our inspector has initiated a nuisance case on this property with a deadline of 12/12. It does NOT include the leaning tree, so you will still need to contact the property manager directly to address this. The nuisance was related to trash, debris, litter, household items and open containers on the property. The inspector will follow up after the deadline to make sure the property gets cleaned up.

Not all I was I was hoping for, but at least the property will get cleaned up... There is newly fallen rotted tree (not the one referenced earlier) in the front year that is now laying on the property border fence. I think that counts as a fallen tree, and should be covered under:
PROHIBITED AND ENUMERATION
(s) Any tree or tree limb or any concentration of branches which have fallen due to an act of nature or have been cut, except in a heavily wooded lot or a maintained natural protective yard unless such tree or tree limb or concentration of branches becomes a focal point for any other nuisance in this Code.

Good morning and thank you for the explanation. NCDOT has recently mowed Glenwood but did not clear the right-of-way along the abandoned residential property at 5209 Rembert Drive. Perhaps because it's private property? I thought that city crews could mow, for safety, and then place a lien on the property.

If this is private property we will send an inspector out there. If the grass is too long we will contact the property owner and give them a couple of weeks to take care of it. If they don't we can then abate the problem and place a lien on the property. I'll update when we've had a chance to check this out.

We apparently have an existing nuisance case on this address. Abatement of the nuisance issues is happening today, so the grass should be taken care of as part of this.

Our inspector has visited this site and there is no violation of the City's nuisance regulations at this time.

The trees in this area have been pruned. Thanks for reporting!

This section of road is maintained by NCDOT, rather than the City of Raleigh. It is mowed regularly by a contractor but the contract does not include edging. We have contacted Calvin Peed with NCDOT (233-9331 ext 234) by phone and have copied him on this issue. NCDOT generally does not edge sidewalks and curbs as part of their maintenance program. Please call Calvin to follow up on this request as NCDOT does not track See Click Fix inquiries. Thanks!

I was reporting this from memory (on Saturday I use 23c to connect to 4/6/16 to get to/from downtown - It is the intersection of Lead Mine Rd. and W. Millbrook Rd and I saw this as the bus was waiting for the signal)

We've generated a work order for this to be done. Generally this will take a couple of days to a couple of weeks depending on the backlog, but it'll get done soon!
