City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #184866

Excessive Growth:

Other: The over growth along Prospect Street west of Madison Avenue is totally out of control. This is the city's property as the owner's property line is within about a foot of the house. Grass and weeds have overgrown the street, brush and trees are hanging over the street. Although parking is allowed along the north side of the street, it is not practical with all the over growth. Please, remedy this problem to maintain the beauty of our neighborhood and city. Also, I have made calls for three years running and reported this problem previously on ureport. Nothing has been done to remedy the problem.

Most tickets of this type should be closed within 9 days, although some cases may be longer. 20 days have already passed.

Property looks to be a naturalized yard. Will look into the property and issue notice of violation if needed.

The Municipal Code requires the adjacent property owner to maintain the ROW. Kenny, write the owner of 324 a warning about the overgrowth and invasives such as mulberry.

Reopening as we were mistaking the location. I am going to ask street department staff to inspect for what is in right of way, versus private property.

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 Reopening as we were mistaking the location.
