The lot between 3902 and 3906 Chamberlayne Avenue is over grown, but the other issue is that tree damage from the July storm is overhanging the sidewalk, and the storm the other night caused some the larger broken off branches to shift even more. These branches could fall and hurt someone.

I see that after over a month, the City still has not gotten the owners of 4206 and 4222 Chamberlayne Avenue to cut their hedges back off the sidewalk. 4206 Chamberlayne Avenue especially bad with the "For Sale" sign forcing people into the street.

Strom damaged trees from earlier storms are block the alley between East and West Seminary Avenue behind the house at 4821 West Seminary Avenue. The overhanging branches are blocking the sun from drying out the puddles in the alley and now there are mosquitos swarms. This has been previously reported and things are getting worse.

The hedges at both 4206 and 4222 Chamberlayne Avenue are blocking the sidewalk. Because of the For Sale sign at 4206, one must get into the street to get by the property.

The street lights from 4817 East Seminary to Watkins are not working. The Street Light on the north corner of East Seminary and Watkins is hanging from the pole and could fall down.

The shrubs between this house in the alley are blocking the alley. The shrubs are overgrown and the storm last month caused them to fall into the alley, Even the garbage and recycling trucks are having problems going up and down the alley.

4206 Chamberlayne Avenue hedge is blocking the sidewalk forcing people to walk in the street, since the "For Sale" is blocking the space between the sidewalk and street.

The landlord at 4320 Chamberlayne Avenue has not removed the limb from the sidewalk. These limbs are from a tree on the Apartment Building property and not the City's responsibility.
To walk by the property you must either go into the street or also up to the building.
It is now a week and I think that the landlord should have done some cleanup by now.

There are numerous apartment complexes and houses on Chamberlayne Avenue from the 3800 to 5000 block on both sides of the road with overgrown lots and hedges blocking the sidewalk. Most of the lots are the same complexes and houses that had the problem a month ago.

Does the City do regular checks on these problems or only waits until a citizen complainants? I would bet that these same places will have the problem within a month of the mowing this time.

All of the properties managed as the "Flats at Ginter Park" and the Premier Apartment Complex have not had their grass cut at all this Spring. All of the above properties have grass over a foot tall on them.

The street light in the alley behind and between 4822 and 4824 East Seminary Avenue is not working.

The water main in the alley on the south side of Watkins between East Seminary and Chamberlayne is leaking again.

There are rats in the garbage on the north side of Watkins between Chamberlayne Avenue and Old Brook Road. There are only three super cans for an apartment building having between 6 to 8 apartments. As a result, the tenants pile their garbage on the sidewalk around the super cans. During a walk this morning, there were several rats feeding on the garbage.
This is the first time I have seen the rats, and the landlord needs to fix the problem before it gets worst and the City need to prevent a health problem.

The crosswalk buttons do not function on all corners and at least one of the buttons on the southwest corner was heavily damaged by an accident several weeks ago. Since school is about to start in a month, I would think having working crosswalk buttons would be a safety issue.

The hedge in front of 4220 and 4222 Chamberlayne Avenue are so over grown, they are blocking the sidewalk. It is getting to the point were people will need to walk in the street to get by the properties.

In the alley between Chamberlayne Avenue and West Seminary Avenue on the South side of Watkins, the water line is broken and leaking. The leaking has gotten worse, since the City leveled the alley to remove the potholes. The water is now in a stream.

I earlier reported a tree leaning over at this address. The neighbor folk have now knocked to the ground. In this heat, you should send someone to remove the soon to be dead tree from the side walk.

A new tree is was partially lend from an earlier car hit. Saturday night storm has made it worst and if not fixed in this heat the tree will die.
