This house has been in a constant state of demolition. There is trash everywhere. At night, people are using the basement as a shelter. Cats are frequently seen catching rats. I live at 1007 W 1st, the rats are encroaching on my property and at 6am, people are crawling out of the basement. The dumpster is huge and has not been emptied for quite a while. This site is a serious health hazard and keeps me from enjoing my home.

The next door building just north of my building has been boarded up since I've been in my current location since October and has now seemed to have part of the back wood torn apart and a hold has been opened up for what I'm guessing in entrance/exit for the ever growing number of homeless in my area that are probably squatting inside for shelter at night. I've heard that this building was overpopulated with homeless last year until it was boarded up and fenced off. They use the slats of wood you see to the hole to the to 'close' when they're not there and then a piece of wood on the interior from the inside at night. Not only is the building an eyesore for the area, but the amount of homeless trekking through the alley and hanging out behind and beside my business is increasing and unsafe. I have customers, children and family that park in the back parking lot and I do not feel safe having them park there with this building being opened back up by the homeless to do whatever they're doing in there. Actually, I'd love to just see the building demolished. If there's anything that I can fill out to request that, please let me. Thank you and please feel free to contact me with any questions!

There is an unsafe structure at 1305 S. Park Ave. A family is living in a truck with a makeshift camper built onto the back. There appears to be power ran from the house to the camper. Children are also living outside the residence as well. I understand wanting to help the homeless however, this does not appear to be a safe environment for this family if a fire were to break out from cooking food or an electrical fire.

A large tree limb has fallen onto the house at 901 W 1st st. The property has been purchased by a company whose contact info is not readily available. The tree that the limb fell off of appears to be dead and appears to be an immediate danger to surrounding houses and electrical lines.

There is a loose cord from one end of the building in the grass to the “office” unit of the apartment complex. This presents a personal safety hazard to myself and my animal.

This house appears abandoned. Last week the roof caved in over the covered front porch and it knocked the front storm door off. The brick is now falling down off the Chimney that is crumbling. The lawn was never moved last year either. Seems unsafe and is also unsightly.

The house at the mentioned address burned in April 2018. It has been abandoned since with nothing done to fix or repair. The owner keeps many objects out in the yard and up in the trees. (Many facing neighbors' properties.) The yard has not been kept up with before or since and we (neighbors surrounding this house) are concerned about rodents and other pests that could be attracted to this house. We are also concerned about what it is doing to our property values. It was a tragedy for this house to burn but it has been almost three years and nothing has been done to clean this property up. We hope there is something the City of Bloomington can do to help us with this eyesore and possible hazard to people in the neighborhood.
