Excessive Growth:
Other: As we appreciate the note, made on the report that each complaint you ge, is addressed. We are however, very much confused as to what contacting the sanitation department has to do with that. I’m aware that you can contact them at a cost to pick up additional trash, but from our understanding, directly from the sanitization department, is that if anything in the recycling can is not only in a bag but won’t close they will refuse to take it because it contaminates the recycling. Regardless, that doesn’t stop trash get scattered all over the yard, ,the streets and the pest problem that it’s now creating outside of their home, which again goes into other peoples homes, causing not just a sanitization issue, but a health issue as well, along with fees, it cost to get rid of such pest just for them to return again because of the same issue when there’s no reimbursement available. So again, if hand is not able to do anything about this, if it’s possible to at least point us in the proper direction so that maybe we can finally get it dealt with it would be greatly appreciated. because, as you well know this has been going on for over a year now with short term fixes for it to just continue to go on and get worse .

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
