I am also not really sure if it is the owner of the site or BBMP that is responsible for keeping empty sites clean. But, according to this document, they are responsible for sanitation.
If you are game to get them do what they are supposed to do, here is a plan.
1. Submit a written complaint claiming that parthenium is causing health problems. Get an acknowledgment.
2. If no action is taken, fill up and RTI form (a sample is here, costs 10 Rs to file an RTI application) asking for the 'status of your application above'.
The officer's address is available in the first PDF link. The document is in Kannada so if you need help, ask here.
The trick with RTI is that it cant be used to ask 'why have you not cleaned the empty site yet'. You can only ask about the status of your application.
As you can see, the issue here is not mere clearing up of the weed but to make the officers realise that they are accountable. Do go ahead and let us know what happened.

PS:- if it turns out that it is the site owner's responsibility to keep it clean, you should still expect to hear that from them and expect them to serve a notice to the owner of that site. So it is worth going ahead in any case.
