Description
Three of the last four evenings, I noticed opossum on my lot acting strangely. The adjacent lot at 1512 is overgrown especially in the rear creating potential habitat for opossum, skunks, snakes, rats etc.
Out of concern that such animals - especially those I've noticed in the last week - might have rabies, the overgrown vegetation and shrubbery needs pruning, downed tree limbs removed, inoperable lawn equipment removed, "weed" trees removed, and the grass maintained at levels appropriate for a residential neighborhood. Other neighbors have asked the owner to keep her property properly maintained with little lasting success. It appears the owner is now only a part-time resident of the property.

All indications are that mowing the grass is all the owner intends - there is no indication of any intent to remove the large downed tree limb, "weed" trees, inoperable lawn mowers, coolers left in the back yard, deal with overgrown shrubbery, or overgrowth between the back fence and alley.
This yard has been a problem for over a year; and the owner seems intent on ignoring all but the grass mowing instructions on the notice placed by code enforcement on Friday 5/17. I suspect the next mowing will occur when another notice is place and not before
