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.
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.
Overgrown yard and vegetation piles are a hazard and promoting mosquito and tick habitat.
The house owner passed away about 6 years ago & the family has stopped taking care of the property. The yard is over grown & it's causing snakes to show up around our house now. The house has also become a home for raccoons & possums.
Yard is waist high in grass, not mowed all year. higher than lawn mower can easily do front and back yard (back yard obscured by front)
