Weeds and trash
Good afternoon Team,
I only have one multifamily property, and do not have a property manager at this time. I am finding, for this summer at least, that the weeds grow at an alarming pace. I am also finding that there are all sorts of trash in the gutter in the street in front of the property. The multifamily is located in a major northeast city. How do folks keep up with cutting back the weeds. I feel like I need to go at least every two weeks to pull weeds and sweep the gutter. Is this standard? Do property managers manage small things like this? There really isn't much yard and no grass for a landscaper, so would not need a landscape contract, but I was not anticipating the amount of maintenance for weeds and debris. Any thoughts, as I would be grateful for any feedback. Thank you.

@Glenn Cross you have to find a landscaper or a local person. Maybe someone to spray. You could look on something like task rabbit, thumbtack for maintaining this. Most people do it themselves or hire a landscaper but if it is really a small job those might be options.
