English term or phrase: eyesore (in this context)
Letter from landlord to tenant;

I have noticed that you have a washing line attached to the building in front of your flat. As the owner of the buildings I would like to request that you remove the washing line, as not only it is a health and safety hazard but also an eyesore.
