Westown Block Watch

Take Pride in Our Neighborhood

Jun 08, 2004

Now that the warm months are upon us and with all the rainfall we have had these past months vegetation has been getting out of control. Westown Watch and Neighborhood services are teaming up to get the problem under control. If you are elderly or disabled and are unable to gain control of your property's vegetation violations please contact Westown Watch via the hotline or website and we can help you. Once it is under control it will be up to the property owner to maintain it. There are also grants available to landscape your yard to be almost maintenance free. To qualify please call the hotline and leave your name and phone number and someone will contact you regarding the grants.

Alleys

The homeowner is responsible to the middle of the alley. This means if your grass or weeds behind you fence are over 6 inches you can and most likely will be given a citation. This also includes anywhere else on your property visible from the street. Also placing bulk trash out before the allowed time can also be a violation.

Other violations include but not limited to that can warrant a citation are:

-dustproof parking you vehicle
