City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #165388

Trash:

Other: Scotty's Appliances at 3901 S Walnut St is storing dozens of refrigerators in front of the building on Walnut St. I believe this is a code violation and also a serious endangerment to children that might climb inside and suffocate. I'd like them to remove the refrigerators from the Walnut St frontage and secure them in an enclosed fenced storage area. See the attached pictures.

Eric Sader

Most tickets of this type should be closed within 9 days, although some cases may be longer. 24 days have already passed.

Tried calling Scotty's Appliances to notify of Title 14 violation (not standard HAND jurisdiction). No answer. Will reattempt contact next week to explain concern.

This is not a police issue and nothing that our people would be able to enforce.

Mick, there is nothing specific in what HAND enforces that would allow intervention. I did, however, find relevant Code in Title 14 mandating inaccessibility before the end of the business day. Looking at Title 14 Peace and Safety, it deals with noise, firearms, unlawful conduct, etc. So I imagine Title 14 falls under Police by context of the Title. Steven, can you confirm you all handle Chapter 14.36 - Unlawful Conduct, and if so, explore whether 14.36.060 is being violated at the premises. Thank you. Let me know if I can assist further.

This does not fall under any outdoor storage standards of Title 20 that Planning can address. I am not sure who is best to direct this to.

Hey, Carl. Do you deal with Title 14 at all or otherwise someone else in Planning? I was a bit surprised to see the city does actually address this in 14.36.060 when I searched so there may be an issue if not securing at the end of the day. "Such persons may store such devices on their premises, provided that the devices are stored in a safe manner at all times, and are made inaccessible to the public before the end of the business day."
