City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #184192

Excessive Growth:

Other: The grass at 3522 E. Morningside Drive is really high. There is no one that lives there so if you post a notice on the door about grass/weed violation it most likely will not get seen. I believe the owner lives out of state. So how is this going to get resolved. The grass is high and unsightly.

We always post a notice and mail one also. I posted a citation yesterday concerning the overgrown grass. I will continue to monitor the situation.

https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=184192 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
