Issued a Notice of Violation
closed: Resolved #169797
Excessive Growth:
Web Form: Neighbor's house is barely visible due to overgrown plants. There is an infestation of rats, mice, moles, and snakes throughout their property, inside and outside. We keep our house well-maintained, but found evidence of rats and mice in our attic. We have an a/c unit up there and the wires were chewed. It was a costly repair and we were told that there could have been a fire. Numerous neighbors have talked to the homeowner at this property, but nothing has been done for years. We would really appreciate the city's immediate assistance in this matter before something serious occurs. Thank you!
Most tickets of this type should be closed within 9 days, although some cases may be longer. 11 days have already passed.

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
