CLEVELAND, Ohio - A Cleveland man told the 19 Troubleshooters he is dealing with overgrown trees from a vacant lot that are destroying his property, causing power outages, and becoming a safety concern.
His family has lived in their East 130th home since 1974. While he takes a lot of pride in where he lives, he says its never looked worse. On top of the damage to his garage, he says tree limbs hang over his car and wire lines, leading to power outages.“These days they dumping bodies in abandoned houses, backyards, bushes, weeds, and no telling what could be back there one day,” said Jones. “Kids go to school, they walk passed, somebody could snatch them and pull them back there and hurt them. It’s kind of scary.”
