ATTENTION - YEARS LONG BED BUG INFESTATION, ELDER AND DISABLED CONCERNS. I am reporting serious and ongoing concerns at Cambridge Square Apartments, 303 N Pete Ellis Dr. Residents—many of whom are elderly or disabled and therefore federally protected under fair housing and disability laws—have been living with a bed bug infestation that has persisted for approximately four years despite repeated complaints to management and prior reports to authorities. Tenants report frequent pesticide applications that have failed to resolve the infestation and appear inconsistent with proper integrated pest management practices recommended for residential complexes. Many residents are physically unable to meet the extensive preparation requirements demanded by pest control companies, such as moving heavy furniture or discarding belongings, yet some report being pressured or threatened with lease violations or eviction if they do not dispose of expensive personal items they cannot afford to replace. There are also reports of tenant belongings being removed or discarded without clear consent during pest control procedures, creating financial and emotional hardship for vulnerable residents. Multiple tenants describe an atmosphere of fear and intimidation associated with property manager Diane Cook and the management practices of Glick, the corporate owner, where residents feel discouraged from reporting legitimate health and safety concerns due to fear of retaliation. Family members attempting to advocate for elderly or disabled tenants report being misinformed or dismissed by management. Prior concerns have also been reported to the city regarding the use of chemicals not appropriate for residential settings, and residents continue to report repeated pesticide exposure without resolution of the infestation. Many tenants require reasonable accommodation due to age or disability but report receiving little meaningful assistance from management in preparing their units for treatment, as required under federal housing protections. These residents are federally protected individuals, and the conditions described represent a serious concern for public health, tenant safety, and civil rights. We respectfully request that the city conduct an immediate investigation into the infestation, pest control practices, property management conduct, and potential intimidation or retaliation against tenants so that these residents can live in safe and dignified housing without fear of punishment for reporting legitimate concerns.

I am filing this report to provide supplemental, formal documentation of ongoing health and safety hazards coming from the unit at 918 N Lindbergh Dr. I want to state that the Bloomington Housing Authority (BHA) usually does a good job, and I appreciate their efforts. I have already spoken with them and they are investigating. However, I understand the process can take time. Since these problems have been ongoing for approximately one month, I am formally documenting these issues to ensure the City has a record of the situation while it is being addressed. 1. Violation of No-Smoking Policy and Fire/Explosion Risk: As this is a government-regulated building, the lease strictly prohibits smoking inside. Per policy, any smoking must occur at least 25 feet away from the building/doors. For about a month, there has been a persistent cycle of smoking tobacco and other combustible materials occurring within downstairs units, primarily originating from Unit 918 and potentially other units downstairs. This occurs in a unit where medical oxygen tanks are present, representing a significant fire and explosion risk to all residents. 2. Severe Health Impact & Insomnia: Heavy tobacco and non-tobacco odors originate from the downstairs area and float up into the upstairs apartments, causing chronic insomnia and physical distress, including dry mouth, dry throat, coughing, and dry heaving at night. This environment is impacting the health of neighboring residents including those with established medical accommodations who are experiencing nausea and a loss of appetite. I am providing this record specifically to protect myself and my neighbors from being unfairly held liable for property odors, fines for cigarette butts, or damage originating from the downstairs units. 3. Property Maintenance and Sanitation: Despite my efforts to regularly clean up cigarette ashes and butts to maintain the area, they reappear daily and are now becoming soggy in the ground. When I politely asked the residents to stop leaving cigarette butts and ashes on my doormat, they claimed they "could do nothing about the wind," showing a total disregard for the property's cleanliness and my personal entryway. 4. Safety, Harassment, and Guest Conduct: I have attempted to resolve this in a neighborly way. When I asked the individuals to please move outside and then to please move away from my door, they immediately began shouting and using extreme verbal hostility and gendered slurs. During this confrontation, I was told that I "had no rights," that the area was "public property where people could do whatever they wanted," and was told to "call the cops then" as they stood less than 5 ft from my door on the patio. The resident of Unit 918 was present and stated he had no control over his guests' behavior while they were shouting at me. Because the resident refuses to take responsibility for the conduct of his visitors and the environment has become verbally abusive, I no longer feel safe having any direct contact with that unit. Purpose of Report: This statement is for formal record-keeping. I want to ensure the City has a documented history of these environmental, safety, and harassment concerns to protect the health and lease standing of all neighboring residents. I appreciate the BHA’s ongoing work and submit this to support a safe, compliant living environment.

See case #201777. Did owner ever reply to letter from HAND? It has been almost a year, and nothing has been done. Wall along Lincoln is still in need of attention. Experience with property owner (Parker rentals) has been they will not do anything unless there is a fine involved.
