City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Invalid #164662

Excessive Growth:

Other: The house at 810 W. 4th St. is unoccupied, but rented as an Airbnb with regularity. In a neighborhood of modest homes with mostly well-tended yards, it has a front yard that is untended, and a side and backyard that are wildly overgrown, sometimes harboring an urban deer population. The tall grass and weeds in the backyard, along with an abandoned cast-iron tub, contribute to the difficult mosquito problem in the neighborhood. Apparently because there is no home owner nearby, this commercial venture shows little concern for the well-being of the neighborhood. Thank you for your efforts.

https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=164662 Opened by Anonymous 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 weeds, grass or plants are in violation of the Bloomington Municipal Code 6.06.070 (a). In the event of a violation, the neighborhood compliance officer will issue a Notice of Violation (NOV) to the property owners via first class mail and by placing a copy of the notice of violation on the property. The original Notice of Violation may be a warning or may include fines with a graduated scale from $50.00 - $150.00, and will be issued in accordance with Bloomington Municipal Code 6.06.070 (a). If the property is a rental property and it is the tenants' responsibility to maintain the lawn, the landlord must provide a copy of the signed lease to HAND during the initial seven days following the issuance of the NOV, otherwise the Landlord will remain responsible for paying the fine. 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. Please be mindful of this process while we work with your neighbors to resolve this issue. Thank you, HAND staff
