In mid June there was heavy storm damage on my property. Insurance company involved. A utility pole had to be replaced, but there are still a lot of cables on my property: in my fence, hanging from my trees, in my yard south of the fenced in area. My understanding is that the cables are Comcast (according to AT&T). I have contacted Comcast multiple times and filed a complaint against them with the attorney general this afternoon.
When Duke came to replace the utility pole they didn't remove all of the metal security cables. They also didn't fill in the area around the pole enough. There is a big hole next to the new pole. There are exposed wires on it as well. Basically, it looks like an electrical hazard and it has kept me from cleaning up the tree that fell, do yard work, spend time with my family & dog in the backyard due to potential danger.
I know this isn't an issue with City of Bloomington to address, but if you could help or advise on how to expedite the cable cleanup and make sure the utility poles are secure, straight, and that all surrounding wires are high enough on the poles I would really appreciate it. I'm kind of at a loss as to who else I should contact to get this stuff taken care of. Thanks!

My neighbor maintains a vacant property, and has since before 2013. The backyard is a junkyard, and a rodent resort. If he can maintain a vacant property, he should have to clean up. It's a terrible eye sore and negativity affects our property. I live 835 w kirkwood. His is the house to east of mine

There are several issues:
1) Cars and frequently parked jutting into the alleyway or the city right of way, which is a hazard to traffic and also partially blocks exit from our garage.
2) Somewhere between 5 and 10 different cars come and go on a regular basis, some of which stay overnight at different times. Thus, the backyard is sometimes stuffed with cars. It's not clear who lives here and what the nature of the living situation is. For example, is this a community that provides mental health services to young men? If so, is it appropriately registered with the city? There is too much traffic at this property to fit a typical family or group living situation. I think there needs to be a welfare check or a visit of some sort by the city.
3) There still is trash stuffed underneath a blue tarp, including half of a toilet.

The people residing in this home were previously told by HAND to get rid of the garbage that was accumulating in their back yard, which is loose and blows onto other properties. Instead, they have simply moved it 10 feet to the right by a shed. Also, there are currently 5 cars parked on the property. From day to day, there are a lot of unknown people and traffic some of whom briefly come and go. I have seen people staggering in the backyard who are likely under the influence of some substance.

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.
