City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Can't Fix #176522

Excessive Growth:

Other: It is now July 11th 2021 and this homeowner has yet to mow his lawn once. It's a hazard as it's 3-4 feet tall. This is against the city rules and so why is the city not enforcing the law?

This property has been the subject of more than a decade of code enforcement cases and numerous court filings and lawsuits. At this time the plants in the yard are nearly all not subject to Code enforcement actions, as they are not considered noxious or invasive in nature, and are not on the list of plants that can be ticketed.

https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=176522 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
