Description

This lot located at 374-376 third street has a very large Invase species Tree of Heaven located at the edge of the sidewalk (inside the lot) that is causing a massive lanterfly infestation in neighboring properties for past few years. In the fall, the tree was covered with lanterfly laying eggs, which you can see in the upper branches. They will hatch soon in spring, causing another infestation. I have reported this is the past but the ticket was closed. The owner of this lt needs to be required to take this tree down pursuant to Jersey Coty forestry regulations section I.D.1.a. (Invasive species / infestation).

Moreover, this vacant lot has never had the required signage present stating the name and contact information of the owner, as required. This lot is a chronic offender in that garbage/debris is not cleaned up and it is never shoveled in the snow. This owner needs to be held responsible.
