Neighbor's house is barely visible due to overgrown plants. There is an infestation of rats, mice, moles, and snakes throughout their property, inside and outside. We keep our house well-maintained, but found evidence of rats and mice in our attic. We have an a/c unit up there and the wires were chewed. It was a costly repair and we were told that there could have been a fire. Numerous neighbors have talked to the homeowner at this property, but nothing has been done for years. We would really appreciate the city's immediate assistance in this matter before something serious occurs. Thank you!

Hello. The property at 4900 S. Dunlap Rd., Bloomington, IN 47403 appears to be abandoned and has excessive overgrowth. My father's house is across the street, and for the last two months, I have not seen anyone at 4900 S. Dunlap Rd. The grass is overgrown, and the awning on the garage is collapsing. The property looks terrible. We have been mowing around the mailbox since we don't want wildlife hiding in the grass around the mailbox waiting for the mailman. Please look into the issue.
