Charles Rowland Ellingson, Arborist Property, City Citations

A detailed look at the property of Charles Rowland Ellingson on West 37th Street reveals a well-maintained home where he has lived since 1947. Ellingson, a semi-retired arborist, received a citation on July 17th threatening liens for "objectionable material." The segment argues that his "zero-scape" lawn is actually environmentally friendly, yet he is being singled out due to his past political involvement and criticism of city spending.
