Issue acknowledged.

What you're looking at is a freshly mowed lawn. I got sick of looking at the corner, went down there with weedwhacker in hand and commenced work! There are maple tree saplings beneath the waist high grass that beat my my brand new Troy-built, 4 cycle up pretty good! I ended up using a borrowed sling blade to try and finish the job. Four hours of work, I had to give up. My ALS got the better of me and I just now posted a note on front porch forum for help.

Thank you Chris!

It was of no problem. I'm under the belief the city should do this for non compliant folk and bill them. This, to keep the city looking good.

This is a duplicate issue made at the wrong property address. We will link this incorrect address to the correct one so you can read the comments from that issue too.

This is an owner occupied property and the property owner was sent a letter which included the relevant section of the City Charter associated with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Waterfront formerly known as the Department of Parks. That section is listed below.

ARTICLE 72. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS
211 Authority to regulate parking.
The city council shall have control of the parkings upon each street of said city, including the right to permit, regulate or prohibit the placing of signs within and upon said parkings. Said parkings shall be understood and held to be the space between the curb or gutter and the street line on each side of the street, except so much thereof as may be occupied by publicly owned and maintained sidewalks. The city council shall also have control of these areas in the center of streets not used for traffic. In case said parkings are not properly cared for by the owners of the property abutting thereon, the city council may, in its discretion, and shall, upon petition of the majority owners of the abutting property on such street or any block or blocks upon such street, cause such parkings to be properly cared for, the grass cut, weeds destroyed, and such work done as they deem necessary; and the cost of doing such work shall be assessed upon abutting property, as provided in the preceding Section. Provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall interfere with the necessary work of the city in its work on the streets, curbing, sidewalks or in making sewer connections in any such streets, or of the city in making or repairing water connections.
212 Authority to declare weeds, underbrush, etc., a nuisance and direct removal.
The city council shall have the power and authority to declare weeds, underbrush, or any unsightly or detrimental growth on any lot of land adjacent to any park or street in said city, a nuisance. It may notify the owner or owners of such land to remove or abate such nuisance; and if, upon reasonable due notice, such owner or owners fail to remove or abate such nuisance, then the city council shall have the right and authority by its superintendent and employees to enter upon such land and remove or abate such nuisance; and the city council shall have authority to assess the cost of so doing upon the owner or owners of said land, and such assessment may be collected and enforced as provided in the second preceding section of this Charter.
