This house has been abandoned since bob raper died over two years ago. The roof is caving in and the neighbors are concerned about squatters. What is the status? This is a blight on our neighborhood.
Residents at 819 Graham Drive have an electrical extension cord running across the front yard to 813 Graham Drive. Residents at 819 was shut off by Cinergy for nonpayment.
Citizen called into to state that on W. 12th Street (didn't know the exact address) that there is a garage that is white with red shutters that is an eyesore to the neighborhood and appears to be unsafe especially the roof.
House appears unlocked and accessible to anyone with front glass storm door banging in the wind, back door to basement open many times. A variety of people occasionally enter. Multiple ways to enter house through missing windows etc… With cold weather pipes may have frozen. Tenants have been or are in process of being evicted but meanwhile trash remains that can act as projectiles in high wind damaging nearby people or properties, non functioning vehicle in driveway with open windows etc… Current condition of house is unsafe and unsightly and prevents other neighbors’ enjoyment of their properties and is dangerous in terms of possible illegal activities that could take place in what is for all purposes an abandoned property. Sarge Rentals manages property and is apparently trying to resolve situation over the past two months.
Glass front porch door hanging off hinges and is potential projectile with high winds/storms. Also porch roof has many loose shingles and gutters are hanging- again potential projectiles to nearby houses, businesses, street and pedestrians.
A gentleman stopped by our office this morning to alert us to an unsafe swing set that was installed in the yard of 825 S. Eastside Dr. He said that the swing is installed in a way that it would go into the road if someone was on it. He is nervous that a kid is going to swing on it unsupervised and go into the road. He would like to remain anonymous.
A tree in the front lawn of this property has two large broken branches that overhang the street, and they've been so for a couple months now. A lot of people walk under these branches on their way to and from Highland Village Park, and it's only a matter of time before one or both of these branches detach and fall onto the street. Currently, you can hear them creaking and see them swaying with the wind. They need to be safely removed before they snap off.
lot is still after several YEARS overgrown. Abandoned car is still there with limbs on top and garage is in disrepair with trash boxes coming out. I was told a year ago this was being dealt with but obviously it is not. Follow the codes of the city of Bloomington and get this mess cleaned up. The house was torn down several years ago because of neglect and nothing has changed.
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.
Citizen states there is a shed by a bank that may be unsafe.
