    Found in Cambridge, MA flowered in September.

    Answer

    Dear whtien, the plant in your images is a species of Bidens (beggar-ticks). It is either Bidens frondosa (Devil's beggar-ticks) or Bidens vulgata (tall beggar-ticks). I would need to see a close-up of the flower heads to help you know for sure which one it is.
