This abandoned trailer home is accross the street from me. Ive noticed homeless people going there after dark with their possessions in shopping carts, etc. since the structure is falling apart and frequented b the homeless I consider it unsafe and should be removed before someone gets hurt. The people there in the middle if the night are often noisy.

Other: It has come to the attention of the surrounding neighbors that the owner of the property attempted to evict the tenants with no luck. It is past 30 days to when many of us first learned of this. Since the clearing of the camps at Switchyard there is much more activity at this property. There is a person sleeping in their black car in the driveway. There are people on bikes in and out throughout the day and night. There are dogs without leashes. There are people yelling. The Tenants are running a very large and loud generator from 8am-11pm, so they're aware of the rules. This means no power. From what I understand, they also haven't had water in almost a year. Check previous reports to follow up on that. All of this is causing significant distress and potential health hazards to the surrounding residents. This is a nuisance and a safety concern for everyone. These tenants and the state of the building detracts from the character and well-being of the neighborhood, and despite numerous complaints, no change has been made.

I recently stayed at the Candlewood Suites in Bloomington, IN Room 424 on September 20-22, 2024 and have recently become ill with a respiratory infection due to BLACK MOLD in the underlayment of the bathroom LVT flooring and carpeting. This is prevalent throughout the entire hotel. I am a General Contract/Builder of hotels and understand BLACK MOLD ISSUES. This hotel should not be operational in several rooms. I am available to discuss this dangerous situation. When you send an investigator to the hotel to investigate the health hazards, do not just limit yourself to room 424 this is throughout the hotel.

Trying to find way to reply to our previous report. The only way possible is to create a new one ... This is about UReports concerning RE: #202909 Thank you for the people who looked into this for us - Rob Council replied "Exterior inspection has been conducted on property. Does not meet unsafe threshold" How can this be if there is no longer yard fencing on South side of pool? Pool water is green, cover is off, complete access into yard to pool by alley (There used to be a garage that fell down and was removed before sale) Isn't there a City safety ordinance about pools? Ex. "In Bloomington, Indiana, an ordinance requires fences around swimming pools and other water-filled excavations. Specifically, Ordinance 17-19 amended Section 14.36.160 to align pool fencing requirements with the Indiana Administrative Code. This means that swimming pools and other water-filled excavations must have a fence at least 4 feet high that completely surrounds the pool area. Elaboration: Ordinance 17-19: This ordinance amended Section 14.36.160, which previously required fences around all bodies of water with a depth exceeding 36 inches. Now, the ordinance primarily focuses on swimming pools and their fencing requirements, aligning with the Indiana Administrative Code. Fencing Requirements: The Indiana Residential Code (R326.27.3) outlines specific requirements for pool fencing: Walls or fences at least 4 feet high, completely surrounding the pool and deck. Self-closing and latching gates and doors, capable of being locked. Alternative means, deemed impenetrable by the enforcing authority, can be used instead of traditional fences. A combination of the above options is also allowed. A power safety pool cover can be used as an alternative, provided it connects continuously to the deck and requires a key or other secure mechanism to operate. Violation: Violating the ordinance is considered a misdemeanor, according to Section 14.36.170."
