If you have weeds getting out of control now is the time to cut.

Recent rain and warm weather have caused a lot of growth in Sullivan.

Grass and weeds have enjoyed the weather and grown well—in some cases too well.

Police Chief John Love noted the department has gotten calls concerning properties with weed growth issues.

Sullivan’s nuisance ordinance requires village action toward property owners who aren’t making an effort to control weeds on their property. This could ultimately lead to the city placing a lien on the property and eventually taking it over.

Chief Love noted the properties where complaints have been filed are being followed up on.

Owners are encouraged to take pride in their property’s condition and be considerate of neighbors.
