House is surrounded by excessive growth
We have had an issue with the overgrowth at 708 W. 11th Street encroaching upon our property at 702 W. 11'th and 702 1/2 N. Fairview St. for years and have spoken with HAND inspector before about the problem which consists of us at 702 W. 11th St. to constantly be cutting tree branches that over hang, and fall onto our property and constantly clean up all the leaves that fall and the vines which grow at least one foot per day in the summer. We have asked for cooperation from the people that live there as tenants, however we feel it is the owners responsibility to clean up the property. We have a fence between the properties and since we are registered with HAND and have had to make many improvements to our own property in order to comply to the rules and regulations we feel it would be the least 708 W. 11'th St. could do is to keep up with their lot which stretches back at least 1/8th of a city block. We have had to hire tree cutters in the past at least 3 different times to cut back the limbs of the largest trees as they were growing over the grooves of our 2 buildings and constantly dropping debris. We have clear out what we could this early Spring however after painting our fence in April the grown has encroached to the point that we have the necessity to clip back the invasive vines on a daily basis. We appreciate your attention regarding this matter. Sincerely, Leslie Kollum 812-325-6101

Yard overgrown onto sidewalk
For the last 25 YEARS I have complained to the city how the owner will not cut back weeds that have grown into trees or her other 8-15 feet weeds all around the property and the city has done nothing to make her keep the yard up . Now for the last 10 years she has had Bamboo that is overtaking her yard and starting to creep into my yard. I have tried to speak with her about doing something about her yard and she does nothing.The Bamboo she has is now illigal in Bloomington.
yard over grown, nobody mowing, appears abandoned
