This area is in great need of cleanup and weed removal. As one of our major entries to Bloomington, this area makes our city look very dirty (cigarette butts and debris) and unwelcoming.
1) There is a large amount of debris from lawn clippings, downed branches, and other general sticks and brush overgrowth collecting along the west side of the alley between 1424 S Walnut and 1423 S Monon Drive. The debris and overgrown brush along the west side has become so bad it is destroying and collapsing the fence along my back yard (1423 South Monon Drive) and also has become a nesting area for animals. 2) There is also a lot of loose large gravel chunks in the road and on the sidewalks along the 100-172 West Hillside Drive block, left over from winter ploughing that is dangerous to vehicle tires and threatening to clog the storm drain at the corner of South Monon and West Hillside.
Excessive lawn growth at knee height
This house has not mowed their grass yet this year. The grass is over a foot tall. I believe the house is empty currently.
Grass is excessively overgrown for weeks
Excessive growth. No cut yet this year. Way over city limitations. A family of foxes has taken us residence in their backyard that is terrorizing the pets in our neighborhood.
Way overgrown lawn that is over a foot high. Have reported two weeks ago and still nothing done. Why is the city not doing more than just issuing citations? This neighbor blatantly has no regard for the law nor the neighborhood.
Occupants said they don't own home and have no obligation to mow, maintain, upkeep, etc. Verified through GIS/Elevate they are owners of record since 2014. Yard has not been cut in 2020. Can't remember last time trees were trimmed. Debris stacked in front yard. Animals (foxes?) living under back deck. Home looks abandoned and is neighborhood eyesore. This same thing happens every year. Responsible homeowners are being penalized for having irresponsible (lazy?) neighbors.
the grass has not been mowed in weeks, at least 10-12 inches high.
