Case Date:

4/2/2024

I am the property manager with tenants located at 111 E. 6th St. Since August 2023, I have received complaints from tenants regarding floodlights that never turn off and are located on the back side of the Tempo (formerly Village Pub) building. The floodlights are unbearably bright and are left on 24/7. The floodlights emit bright and obnoxious light into at least four of the units that I manage, as all four units have patio doors that are right across from the stained glass panel that the floodlights surround. The light from the floodlights enters all four apartments significantly, and is particularly an issue in the nighttime where the light is exceedingly intrusive. This appears to be a clear violation of Bloomington Ordinance, 20.04.090 - Outdoor lighting, which states that "Floodlights and spotlights shall be fully shielded so that the light element is not visible to an observer on any property either zoned or used for residential purposes..." I would like to request that the floodlights adhere to the ordinance and that they turn off in the evening to avoid polluting light into the units I manage.
