I have also reported this. My thought is, when houses are divided-up with multiple renters, some feel the maintaining of surrounding city property is not their problem but is the owners responsibility. If the owner lives out of state, chances are, they are not going to travel to maintain this. Pretty soon, the weeds in this location will meet in the middle & cover the walk.
The city just a needs to enforce it's code for sanitation on the homeowner. The owner needs to pay for a service to maintain the property or obligate the renters. The city needs to fine them when it does not get done. That is money being left on the table by the city.
