Overgrown yards, noise or litter problems in Milwaukee? Here's a quick guide to filing complaints
Overgrown weeds, overhanging branches, litter, loud noises — all of these annoyances might come from your Milwaukee neighbor, but not every complaint should go to the same place. That's why Public Investigator put together a guide to help you navigate the right city department to contact for various issues, and how to keep track of your complaint. Who do I call about overgrown grass or weeds in Milwaukee? If your neighbor's overgrown grass or weeds are bothering you, rest assured: there are actual ordinances about this. In Milwaukee, weeds and grass can't exceed 7 inches — roughly the length of a pencil or a smartphone. To report this, contact the city's helpline at 414-286-2489 and ask for the Department of Public Works, or file a complaint online at If you're submitting your complaint online, type "grass" in the search bar. Then, click the option that says: "Weeds and Tall Grass Complaint." From there, you can fill in the details, including your name, address of the issue, and a picture of the problem. If your neighbor's overgrown yard is only visible from a specific area on your property, the city is willing to coordinate a visit to check it out. Department of Public Works spokesperson Tiffany Shepherd said inspectors can't enter private property without permission, but they'll work with you if you need to let them in. Shepherd said DPW typically inspects within 24 hours, unless there are special circumstances. More: How long can my Milwaukee neighbor's grass be? What about overgrown weeds? Who do I call about overhanging branches that are encroaching on my property? If your neighbor's tree is growing into your yard, that's a matter to take into your own hands. In Wisconsin, you're allowed to trim branches, roots or other vegetation from your neighbor's yard if it crosses into your property — as long as you do so within reason and without harming the tree, according to Kali Murray, property law professor at Marquette University. But before you start snipping, reach out to your neighbor first. "I always advise folks to write a letter or an email explaining their actions before taking action," she said. Who do I call about overhanging branches that are blocking street signs and public rights-of-way? If a tree is blocking a street sign, traffic signal, streetlight, or a public right-of-way — like a sidewalk, curb strip, street or alley — that's when you can call the city for help. And it's not just trees — Milwaukee ordinances also prohibit shrubs, flowers or any other plants from blocking these. You can report issues to the city's Forestry Services by calling 414-286-2489, or by filing a complaint online at If you're submitting a report online, make sure you select "Forestry," since this division handles vegetation that encroaches on public spaces, not your yard. Who do I call about noise complaints? Usually the police, but it depends on the noise. If your neighbors are being rowdy, like throwing a loud party or setting off fireworks, that's when you should call the Milwaukee Police Department's non-emergency line at 414-933-4444. According to city ordinance, if police can hear noise 50 feet away from the property, they can issue a citation. Officers can visit the house in question and, if there are multiple calls about one property, it can be considered a nuisance location. That means if complaints stop during the 45-day monitoring period, the property owner won't be fined — but if complaints continue or no acceptable plan to mitigate the noise is submitted, they'll have to pay a fine. Barking or other loud animal noises are handled by the Department of Neighborhood Services. To report an issue, mail a letter with the address of the property causing the noise, your name, address, phone number, and a description of the problem to: DNS Residential Division, 4001 S. 6th St., Milwaukee, WI 53221. Once DNS verifies both addresses, they'll send a warning letter, along with a copy of the ordinance and some informational materials, to the animal owner. Who do I call if my neighbor's yard is piling up with litter or trash in Milwaukee? If your neighbor's yard is piling up with garbage and debris, contact the Department of Neighborhood Services. Complaints can be made over the phone Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 414-286-2268. They can also be filed online through the city website at Type "litter" in the search bar, and make sure you select the option that pertains to private property. How do I keep track of my complaint after it's submitted to the city? After your file a complaint, whether it's over the phone or online, make sure you get a record number. This will make it easier to track. You can check the status of your complaint, including any resulting orders, by creating an account here. After logging in, select "Enforcement," and then "Search Records." There, you can enter your record number. If you don't have your record number, you can also search by complaint type and property information. What if I'm still not sure where to submit my complaint? If you're still unsure of where to submit your complaint, your best bet is to call the city's helpline at 414-286-2489. This number will connect you to any of the city's departments, and you can ask which one you should be directed to. Quinn Clark is a Public Investigator reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Local artist helps capture WFRV Local 5's 70 years of news
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – It was an exciting day at WFRV Local 5. To celebrate the station's seventy years, a local artist created something special. Jamie Andrastek has watched WFRV Local 5 his entire life, but his favorite person to watch on his TV is meteorologist Jordan Lamers. 'He's an awesome meteorologist, and whenever there is a tornado or something, we watch the weather,' said Andrastek. Artwork by Jamie Andrastek Andrastek stopped by the station with his mom to meet Jordan, and after spending some time behind the weather desk, he shared his sketchbooks with us, filled with original artwork bursting with color and creativity. Jamie was born with autism and uses free-hand drawing to connect with the community in a creative way. His mom, Kristen Henke, said drawing helps him open up socially. 'All his favorite places he started making drawings for them, and then he wanted to frame and give them to them, and I said absolutely. So we framed them, and it's a great way for Jamie to interact with his community,' said Henke. Andrastek draws every day, and even gives some of his drawings to local businesses. 'I did draw for the mayor, and I did draw for the Urban Air Adventure Park in Appleton, and then I did JD's, Tom's, and other places.' Dock Spiders' stolen bases score over $3k for Boys & Girls Club 'It's his way of reaching out to people and it's difficult for kids with autism to do that. But it has really helped him grow, and hers become far more social in the last 10 years since he started doing that.' Kristen Henke – Jamie's mom And to celebrate the station, he gifted us a drawing of all the WFRV Local 5 logos dating back to the very beginning, seventy years ago. 'I had to look at it very carefully, and then I had to use my twistable crazy art crayons to color it in,' said Andrastek. Jamie's mom says he's grown so much in recent years, and that his drawings have helped those around him embrace him for who he truly is. From all of us here at WFRV Local 5, thank you, Jamie, for sharing your passion with us and becoming part of our station's history. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Wildwood Zoo in Marshfield welcomes Canadian lynx cub named Odin
MARSHFIELD − Wildwood Zoo has welcomed a new resident, a 3-month-old male Canadian lynx named Odin. Odin came from a USDA-accredited zoo and is adapting well to his new environment, according to a community announcement. He is gaining weight and thriving in the Wildcat Building. The addition of Odin highlights Wildwood Zoo's commitment to conservation and education. The Canadian lynx is a secretive feline native to northern forests and was once more common in Wisconsin's northern counties. Sightings of lynx in the state are rare, but they have been documented during severe winters. Historically, lynx were present in northern Wisconsin when snow conditions and forest cover supported their primary prey, snowshoe hares. As forests became fragmented and snowshoe hare populations declined, lynx became less common. Increased competition from bobcats, which are well-established throughout the state, also limited lynx presence. More: Accessing local journalism is even easier with the Marshfield News-Herald app The young lynx is expected to be introduced to Elsa, the resident bobcat, in the coming months. Lynx and bobcats are distinct species with different behaviors and traits, but they share similarities as wildcats. Wildwood Zoo has a history of housing these species together, and the companionship between Odin and Elsa is expected to enrich their lives. Visitors can look forward to seeing Odin in the Wildcat Building soon. Zookeepers are focused on his acclimation, health and enrichment to ensure he is confident and comfortable before meeting Elsa. This story was created by reporter Nida Tazeen, ntazeen@ with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Journalists were involved in every step of the information gathering, review, editing and publishing process.
