I have called the city on the neighbor behind me several times this year, but they have done nothing. The grass and weeds are now over 5ft tall. I know because I am 5'2" and it is all taller than I am. Someone owns the property but nobody lives there. If I start getting rats, snakes, etc. I am going to really raise hell. It is a nightmare. If I weren't handicap I would have fixed that yard a long time ago. I can't pay someone to mow a yard that isn't mine. We need an Erik in our town Thank you for doing the amazing job you do helping others. You are a blessing to those that are elderly, handicap, down on their luck, broken equipment, etc. God Bless you and yours. Much love.
