Ticket #205013 was closed by Barry stating "it is way outside the city limits" which is incorrect. This property is indeed in Bloomington: 1645 S Olive St Bloomington, IN 47401. The issue: overgrown yard and vegetation piles are a hazard and promoting mosquito and tick habitat.
city parcel - the first u report was reported on 7-2-25 the second report was reported on 8-5-25 the parcel is over grown with invasive plants and weeds are growing along the curb so the sidewalk is hard to use and it's the only sidewalk on the street. The house next to the city parcel is 1004 is also overgrown with invasive plants and the curb has weeds along it. The city parcel also gets trash from the dumpster from the Opportunity House.
This deep lot is minimally maintained in front, but the rear portion borders several close neighbors and is full of tall growth, debris piles, thickets, and limbs that need to be removed or brush hogged and maintained with a mower. There is also an abandoned, unsecured shed.

The grass is the heighth of Andre the Giant. When leaving the mobile home park, one has to pull into intersection to see traffic coming west from 1st street. Due to this, collision is a higher possibility when needing to turn east on first street.
Not sure which category this belongs under. The grass-cutters for this property and the one directly to the north and also the Grant Street Inn to the south routinely blow grass cuttings into the street. Sometimes, there is so much that it creates a cycling hazard, and then when the rain washes it all into the storm sewer grates and clogs them, temporary lakes form. Are the any regulations relating to the levying of fines to careless people who dump yard waste (grass, leaves, etc.) in the street?
Around Arlington bridge, public walk way, there is debris, grass, and bushes that should be taken care of for safety of the children and the public that uses this walkway. It’s very unsafe someone could be hiding in the bushes to attack or kindap a child. Ty
