Description
There is a 10 ft tall, 40 foot long hedge infested with poison ivy, here. The hedge is not kept trimmed, so at this point is is making the sidewalk impassible and is a serious health and safety issue. This is a high traffic sidewalk for the local Jewish Community, who walk to temple.
Trying to reopen this. The Poison Ivy is worse than ever. The property owner is unwilling to do anything.

Q. Is the problem blight (trash, etc) outside, or is it a problem with the building (illegal use, housing code violation, etc)?

Martin,
I agree that In usual cases, neighborly trimming would work. The poison ivy is growing within a giant hedge to the point that the two are inseperable. Trimming off the most offending ivy is a good short term solution, and this has been done for many years, but to get at the whole problem, some serious work has to be done because the roots are intertwined with the hedge. The hedge acts as a sound and visual buffer between the owner's house and busy Forrest road and is not easily replaced. Us neighbors are willing to help with solving the problem, but the home owner does not see it as a problem, therefore the need for other public pressure.
