building being entered by homeless, dangerous, being stripped of materials

Case Date:

5/20/2020

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!

The porch on this house is MISSING! Meaning, there are no floor boards. Anyone stepping onto the porch at night in the dark (human or animal) will fall into an abyss. This building should be repaired or removed - it is dangerous.

The two building directly to the north of my building are currently unsafe with multiple viewings of homeless and users coming and going from in between the buildings. It's not safe for anybody to be back there with the activity that happens daily. The light on that property is also out and there have been homeless camping in the unkept wooded area behind my property that is owned by the City. I thought that the two buildings were to be torn down at one point, but it seems that the issues were temporarily fixed and the owner was allowed to keep the buildings up. Please call or email with questions in regards to this situation.

While the abandoned home just north of my building has been boarded up by the property owner, the homeless are now entering the home by using the back porch stair/deck railing and hoisting themselves to the roof deck above and then entering through the sliding door there. I caught one popping their head up to see who pulled up yesterday morning, noticed that I saw him and then he ducked down below the windows. Windows are being covered up and doors are propped open on the front/back to allow a nice stream of air throughout to what seems to be the entire upstairs. The inability of the property owner to secure the ENTIRE home from entry by homeless is frustrating and should be taken seriously by the property owner because of the safety concerns that these instances create for myself, my family, my customers and many other citizens of Bloomington that are visiting Chocolate Moose, Bedrak and apartments near this location. Please advise on how this will be handled. Thank you.
