Hello. I am a Bloomington resident residing at 110 1/2 W 6th St. My apartment entrance is in an alleyway off of 6th between Walnut and College. While this alley has normal amounts of debris, there seem to be many unsafe wires dangling from the various poles and buildings. My main concern is with the alley behind my building. The entrance is off of Walnut between "Btown Diner" and "Samira" restaurants. There is an abundance of trash, grease, vomit, bugs, defecation, and cigarettes throughout the space that causes a repulsive smell and attracts many rodents. This is a very unsanitary environment that workers from the businesses(restaurants especially) on 6th Street take their breaks in. I am not sure the best course of action but I would suggest having the businesses clean their trash bins in addition to having the city power wash the grease and other various fluids off the pavement. I would appreciate a response. Thank you, Ryan

I am physically disabled live alone. Moved to this (section 8) reside in November. I am unable to mxnsg the parts to my disability. So my rhuematologist submitted a letter stating g my issues s the employees sh do the trash/ recycle CARTS will bri g them back to.my yard/porch sftrvesch pickup. To date this has been done once! I get caretakers who do so for me often but in the event they forget or I do not get one my trash/ recycling carts sit at the road risking causing harm to other motorist if fall over. Which oftentimes happens to I am on a slope/hill. The manager might hold me in lease viol as well!

Refer to cases #186916, #188213, and #188214. Someone ended up putting a rubber stopper in the hole at the base of the dumpster, which temporarily prevented the rats from entering it. However, rubber is a delicacy for rats (which it seems garbage-oriented people should well know) and it was soon devoured. Now the problem is back full-force, with rats running in and out of the dumpster and scurrying around the parking lot. The drain-hole is threaded on the inside, implying that the manufacturer of the dumpster had in mind (and likely supplies) a metal screw-type insert that will be rat-proof. Please ask the company to install the correct type of fitting so that this problem is permanently fixed.

Our neighbor's house is radiating terrible smells. I think they are stock piling trash or kitty litter yet again (see the history of this house). I saw a pile of something near their back door.

Tenant recycles for a living, but he stores stuff all over his front and side yards. He also relocates bicycles and scooters. It detracts from the beauty of the neighborhood.
