Other: The property across the street used to be a , student rental house, but now is unoccupied and we don't know who owns the house who would be responsible for safe tree maintenance. There are two very large oak trees in the front yard. The largest has a big dead branch that appears to be diseased with some fungus looking growth. If proper maintenance isn't done, that disease could spread to the rest of the tree. If this massive tree becomes unhealthy, it would pose a major threat to neighboring homes, including ours at 2201 N. Fritz Drive. Who owns this home, and how do we lodge a safety complaint?

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
