Bart Villa Apartment-Yesterday I delivered to this building unit 8. The smell of urine on the carpeted steps was so strong that I got sick. It is unsanitary for residents and delivery people. No one deserves to live like this

Weeds are growing along the curb between college and walnut, just south of 46. It would be nice to have it removed prior to students returning to town this weekend. I have also reported the weeds on 46 to INDOT. Thanks!

Apartments 309, 312, and 320 are in severe egress with multiple sanitary issues. There is an infestation of cockroaches as well as gnats and maggots which are effecting surrounding apartments. The management only has the apartments sprayed once a month and have done nothing to take actions against these tenants to address the issue after having multiple complaints from tenants in the surrounding apartments.

Hello:
This Honda is parked nearly every evening, as well as over the weekend, on the 300 block of S Jackson. Photo attached
Not sure where the person goes when they leave the car here, but they inevitably leave bags of garbage behind. This has been going on for about 6 weeks now and we are sick of cleaning up large amounts of trash. Perhaps one of the Neighborhood Resource Officers could come by and talk with her one evening?
Thank you for your time-
Prospect Hill resident

Large tree limb from recent storms. Cut it up in manageable pieces, but too large for our yard waste. I piled it up behind our blue barn next to alley.

I’ve noticed the incident of local people in town getting vitiligo seems to be going up. The occurrence in the general population is believed 22/100,000. I can count 8 people who have the condition and I know that I don’t know nearly half the population of Bloomington. So anecdotally that leads me to believe that it is possible that the occurrence in town is much higher than the general population. This of course piqued my curiosity. So I did some research as to the cause of vitiligo. Although there are many potential causes, one cause that stuck out to me is environmental exposure to phenol-containing chemicals. So I looked up what phenol chemicals are and used for. Although they are used for many industrial products, I learned that they are most often used to clean medical devices. https://www.chemicalsafetyfacts.org/chemicals/phenol/
This made me think about the cleaning facility that Cook medical has in Ellettsville. And made me wonder if there is a company in town that uses this type of cleaning agent (Cook or some other) that may be spreading into our environment and causing exposure risk to the general population.
So my question is: has the health department recieved data about the prevalence of vitiligo in our community and if so is it elevated in comparison to national averages? And if so, will there be an action plan to reduce the exposure risks to our community?
