Hello, In light of the city's new ban on invasive bamboo plants, I am reporting a large stand of plants as landscaping in the yard at 3846 E Moores Pike, Bloomington, IN 47401. Perhaps this has been reported before as it is difficult to miss. It is close to the road, covering much of the front yard. Thanks, Jon

Front yard of 704 W Dodds has been covered with large sheets of black plastic for 1.5 years. That is long enough to kill what was under it and come back with new landscaping or whatever he is trying to do. Please make him respect his neighbors and remove the plastic sheeting.

I live at 3800 E. McCracken Way apt 6 and we had a problem with our heater /air-condition since Christmas and till this day we don't have our heater working. We were told by the maintenance on March 15th that the unit should be replaced and they did not do anything about it till now. Please help me to solve this. My mom lives with me and she is a senior citizen and has a lot of health issues and this cold is effecting her heath. I am paying around $500 for my electricity because we have been using the oven to heat the apt for the last several month and I can provide proves from duke energy. It is not safe also to use the oven for heating and as you know that can be considered a hazard.

I have a large and growing homeless encampment behind my home at 2431 S. Bryan Street as documented in the photo above. In the fall of 2022, this property (located to the west of the B-Line trail, between the B-Line and S. Bryan Street/S. Camden Drive) became the site for a homeless encampment. Initially, it was a couple of tents and tarps. However, gradually it has gotten much larger, including several more tents and many old tires, several shopping charts, and numerous pallets. Surrounding the camp on all sides is a large and growing volume of scattered garbage and debris. Earlier this month, camp inhabitants started parking a car on the property on a makeshift driveway off S. Camden Drive. The campers are also collecting and storing firewood in shopping carts. Several times a week, there are fires in the woods. I live at 2431 S. Bryan. The encampment was initially 125-150 feet from my home. However, over the last few days, a tent has appeared approximately 25 feet from the property line. Next week, my 26-year-old daughter will be staying alone in my house. With the growth of the homeless encampment, I am very concerned about her safety. Last fall, when she was also here alone, a man who appeared to be homeless tried to force his way into the house. In my view, a growing encampment that is moving very close to my house is an unacceptable safety concern. Obviously, this is a zoning violation. But it is creating conditions that increase the likelihood of crime, as the people living in the homeless encampment lack the basics of shelter, plumbing, and food security. Within the last week, two ”Private Property, Keep Out” signs have been posted along the B-Line trail in areas immediately adjacent to the encampments. It is unclear, however, who put these signs up, as the inhabitants may be trying to limit the size of their camp. The encampment is on Parcel # 53-08-09-300-045.000-009 in Bloomington. According to public records, the owner of the property is Cmdr 2 LLC. The address for the homeless encampment is listed as “S Walnut St, Bloomington, 47401.” It appears to have been part of a larger land parcel that was divided by B-Line trail. The address for Cmdr 2 LLC is listed as 3115 S Highway 37 Bloomington, In 47401. But per the Secretary of State's office, the address is 3535 Spring Branch Road, Bloomington, IN, 47401, USA. The registered agent is Michele Jones, 9389 Rockwood Court, Noblesville, IN, 46060. This can be resolved either by the City of Bloomington enforcing its zoning laws or by the owners of the parcel filing a complaint of criminal trespass. I am hoping this communication will spur action by the City, the parcel owners, or both. Bill Henderson, 812-361-3726. wihender@gmail.com

This property in Hyde Park is poorly maintained. Zillow estimates its value at over $1.2M The weeds in the lawn exceed the 8" height limit and there are some weeds in excess of 3'. The vacant lot next to it at the corner of Olcott Blvd and Taylor Court also is overgrown, is an eyesore and devalues the neighborhood.

The owner has covered the entire yard and tree plot with gravel. Subsequently, possibly in response to an inquiry by the City, they have planted some shrubs. The gravel is still covering the entire property, but it is now just dotted with shrubs. Please get them to remove the gravel.

420 Eastside Drive has been for years and still is a junk yard. There are several vehicles that have not moved in ages, there is trash in the yard (empty soda cans, beverage container). How about City Ordinance 15.16.020 (6): a vehicle that is six or more model years old and mechanically inoperable, and is left on private property continuously in a location visible from public property for more than thirty days. The picture was taken from the Hunter foot path. This yard is far from the pearl of the neighborhood.
