Went to property with Linda Thompson, environmental planner. Noted several invasive species. No containers with water noted on property. Very little trash. Porch cluttered. Back yard overgrown. Spoke with owner. He said he would work on it every day. Told him what he needed to do, gave him two weeks to work and we will revisit. He is clear on what he needs to do to be in compliance.

Full email from Ms. Young: I am a long time Bloomington resident and have lived on W. 7th street for 20+ years. My home is 5 minutes from City Hall. Over the years I have watched the property across the street at 823 W. 7th fill up with garbage, trash and thick vegetation. I believe this property is a hazard to public health. The property provides habitat for mosquitoes, rats, raccoons and other pests. The mess has encouraged other people to add trash to the piles as well. We have made numerous complaints to HAND. Because one of the neighbors has mowed a narrow strip of grass in front of the house, the people at HAND have told me and others there is “nothing to ticket”. I respectfully disagree. The resident has thrown food wrappers, carry out containers, broken furniture, old newspapers, etc onto the porch and into the back “yard” for many years. This constitutes a threat to health, safety and peace of mind in our neighborhood. It also is detrimental to property values.
I would really appreciate it if your enforcement agents would take a second look at this eyesore in an otherwise pleasant and quiet neighborhood just minutes from your office.

Opened by Morgan Wells
Dear Constituent:
Thank you for submitting information to us via uReport. We value your input and hope that we will be able to address your questions and concerns. HAND neighborhood compliance officers will inspect the property and determine if the cited trash at this property is in violation of Bloomington Municipal Code 6.06.070 (a). In the event of a violation, the neighborhood compliance officer will issue a Notice of Violation to the property owners via first class mail and by placing a copy of the violation on the property. After the Notice of Violation is issued, the property owner and/or tenant has seven (7) days to bring the property into compliance. If the property is not brought into compliance within the initial seven (7) days, the inspector may go to daily tickets.
Thank you,
HAND staff
