The house next door is vacant and the grass hasn't been mowed for some time, can anything be done?

Yes. Our city ordinance states that grass and weeds over 10 inches high are declared to be a nuisance and must be cut. Noxious vegetation of any height is strictly prohibited. The owner of the property is sent a notice to mow and eradicate any noxious weeds.
