Hi - there is a massively overgrown yard at this location and the weeds are blocking full access to the sidewalk. To make matters more challenging, the weeds have burrs on them that have hurt our dog. Thank you for your help!
I am writing to report a severe municipal code violation involving excessive environmental growth and hidden accumulation of trash/debris on W. Rappel Ave.The overgrowth along this street has become unmanageable, encroaching upon the roadway and completely taking up roughly one-quarter (25%) of the usable street width. Hidden beneath this thick overgrowth is a substantial accumulation of trash and debris.Because W. Rappel Ave is narrow, this combination creates an immediate and severe public safety hazard:Vehicle Accident Risk: The severe reduction in roadway width forces oncoming vehicles into the center of the street, drastically increasing the risk of head-on collisions.Blind Spots & Physical Damage: Drivers must actively swerve to avoid the overgrowth, or risk vehicle damage from hidden debris and heavy branches.Pedestrian & Environmental Hazard: The hidden trash accumulation acts as a breeding ground for pests and presents a sanitation concern directly adjacent to active commercial businesses.The private developer who retains ownership of this roadway parcel has been explicitly contacted and requested to clear the hazards, but they have refused to comply or take action.As a property and business owner paying City of Bloomington property taxes, I am formally requesting that the Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) Department dispatch a Compliance Officer to inspect this parcel, issue a formal Notice of Violation to the deed-holding developer, and enforce the necessary clearing and cleanup of this right-of-way.
Excessive growth front/side and in the fenced area.
Overgrowth causing poor visibility for people crossing the B Line on the north side of w Fairview st.
The ragweed and yard trash are out of control at this residence. Trash and recycling are scattered throughout the yard.
At 1808 south Rogers the front and back yard is totally overgrown. It has weeds several feet tall.
There is a rental home on N. Fess (maybe 404?), that has several Tree of Heaven saplings on the property. My guess is the owner just cut or mowed the plant down which has lead to significant resprouting. Given the invasive nature of the tress, my hope is that HAND can educate the land owner on the many available programs in Bloomington to properly assist with removal.
They have limbs and overgrowth hanging on our property line when my brother was mowing our yard got smacked in the face and got a mark on his face from this we've asked the neighbors to resolve this with refusal
Caller to HAND concerned about overgrowth causing dangerous conditions and driver's unable to see when making a turn. He said that officer has been out in the past and owner is doing nothing. Caller has been cleaning up the litter along the road but not able to do anything about the grass/weeds.
There are 2 trees here falling across the sidewalk. The owner needs to take care of it before they fall and hurt someone. They are along the sidewalk that runs parallel with Kinser.
