Our yard never looks better than when we leave after spending the winter and early spring. If your neighbor isn’t there for several months, without having a service keep the weeds under control, I can see your dilemma. You’re stuck between reporting them to community standards and potentially getting off to a bad start with them, and having to look at the unsightly weeds. I would suggest trying to contact the neighbors directly and explaining the situation to them. Best of luck.

Good suggestion to contact the neighbor. That’s being a good neighbor. Don’t turn them in as the first step!
