Most residents have animals and the common area has a permanent fowl odor of animal urine and excrement. Complex will not enforce city requirements for cleaning up after pets. There is also a spot in the garden area that consistently floods and has stagnant water. The dog park is not cleaned up either and is spreading disease to other animals. The run off from this complex alone is dangerous. Inside the buildings the dog waste stays on the floors and walls without proper cleaning as the cleaning lady only uses fabulous or just water. This makes it impossible to not track inside the halls and homes of all of the residents. Some residents have 2 giant dogs in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment. NOT TO MENTION A HUMAN BEING KNOWN TO URINATE OUTSIDE IN COMMON AREA!!!! There is a community garden that complex has implemented with food that is getting contaminated. Complex does not treat lawn with lime annually. Does not comply with Bloomington code on this or in general and animals and residents are making complaints and getting ill. This apartment complex smells like a kennel on a hot day and this odor gets sucked into window air conditioners creating a whole different problem. Upper respiratory issues are common due to known mold issues, the waste from people and animals, and go away after leaving property. Animals run without leashes in dog park constantly with no close supervision so it deters residents from taking dogs to the dog park. The dog park is not cleaned up and has piled up mounds of feces. This is not enforced by management let alone any of the other known issues that they have with living conditions. Mold, unsafe water, garden that has food in standing water flood plane, poor plumbing. These issues get dismissed and staff is more than willing to gaslight residents and say that there is no issues. If they fix something it is either painted over or smeared with caulk and not actually completed per code. They have also sprayed pesticide around the common areas with no warning or knowledge to residents. This includes the community garden that they tell residents is supposed to be organic. The watering hose pulls out of the bricks. They have been seen burying literal extension cords, not Romex, running from shop to office without any calls to city. HAND was just out here last year fixing issues that they had and it has just gotten worse. Uneven sidewalk is causing falls. The fencing has compliance issues. The inside of apartments have foundation cracks on all floors and drywall is pulling away from ceiling. Complex has threatened residents with extra charges due to recent issues with flushing objects that should not be flushed when trees outside are likely a huge issue with plumbing. Office keeps food on floor inside office that they donate to residents. Under sinks are rotten and cabinets are falling. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND POINT! THIS PLACE IS UNSAFE FOR PETS LET ALONE PEOPLE! They let family's live here even though they only offer 1 bedroom apartments. There is plenty of proof that this place is causing issues for residents. Not to mention that staff is possibly pocketing money from misc charges. There was kitchen appliances just sitting in the driveway over night a few nights ago. They let staff take them home and cut cords off of air conditioners to scrap. Not enough handicap parking. Handrails outside and in are not secure. Leaks are left for so long before fixed and damaged property is never properly dried or replaced. Fans in bathrooms do not suck air. Apartments have ZERO air circulation to maintain healthy conditions. They refuse or ignore you if you have any issues with air conditioners because they do not want to replace them. They will pull appliances that have issues and replace them with used appliances with other issues. They add in charges that are not in lease contract. Management watches people smoke marijuana and drink alcohol in common areas causing unsafe conditions. They have been made aware! They work directly with BEACON to get people in here and then prey on people with fixed incomes and leave them with less than $100 a month to survive on. No one can afford to move out of here and are stuck here sick and miserable. People avoid areas outside because of the inebriation. The police have been out more than a few times due to fighting because of this. Cleaning crew that they 1099 throw trash from second story windows into truck beds. They let mowers mow lawn going way too fast. They don't even pay for them to mow dog park most of time. Have found syringes and literal drugs in common areas. The trees are constantly breaking off whether its windy or not. Lumber and random trash sits around office workshop. The old railroad ties could be contaminated with arsenic that sit and rot and leach into the ground. The elevators are never properly maintained and have been out of order for months at a time. The hallway fire extinguishers are missing from wall. The floors throughout bubble and are uneven. The drains stink often due to improper plumbing. Water pressure is random. Cold water is warm. They do not flush or maintain waterheaters. The dryers in buildings do not work due to being hooked up with equipment that isnt code. The vents to the dryers are cleaned 1 time a year. Rubber boot for sewer line cleanouts are not capped and have never been secure. They do not spray or enforce proper cleaning of air conditioner units causing serious respiratory issues. The less management spends on repairs the more bonuses they get. High turn over rate of employment due to obnoxious demands and poor quality. If an employee does they're job correctly they are reprimanded for taking too long. Management and maintenance are related technically so money spent is peculiar and repairs are biased. Watched maintenance just mop up a water leak on first floor and not actually fix issue that caused leak which was from second floor washer. This literally killed someone from a fall a few years ago.. The ceiling has collapsed in laundry room before. People are coming here to die. FIX IT!
South Village Ct: there is one little drain at the end of the street and when there is a down pour for a length of time it can’t handle it and water starts to back up getting quite deep in the street! One of our neighbors knows about this and will get out in the water and clean the drain, which we shouldn’t have to do. Every Tuesday is recycle day on our street and loose trash floats down to this drain. The water has come up in our driveways and yards. Hopefully this can get resolved. I have lived here 24 years and nothing has been done about it. Thank you
I have noticed that past couple of months that there is trash being left or not making it into the dumpster by someone. This is not your normal move out and leave furniture trash. I have been picking it up and dumping it in the trash since it has been drawing animals and insects, and when it rains it washed down into the street. I have included a picture from today. This dumpster does not have an enclosure to make sure trash is mot ending up in the bushes or on the ground and running into the streets or water. Someone in the neighborhood is either missing the dumpster or throwing it next to the dumpster on purpose. There is now broken glass and other dangerous/hazardous items around this dumpster because of it. My observations from the last few weeks of picking it up: The trash will be in plastic or paper grocery bags instead of trash bags. They always have diapers, eaten and uneaten food, canned food opened and unopened, and miscellaneous items like paper, wipes, cardboard, clothing, etc. With it being many instances in broad daylight and where the trash is placed and conditions of the bags, I do not think this is animals dragging the bags from somewhere else. My suspicions are this is a child being send to the dumpster by their parents to throw things out but they cannot reach the height since this is a taller unit. Also, I think it is someone from the granite units at the very ends on the west side of Dorchester, closest to the heritage Dorchester dumpster. First, I have noticed the trash ends up on the ground on the side where the door is closest to the granite units as long as it is open. If it is not, then it is on the other side. Second, I saw kids come from that building and walk to the dumpster and walk around it for a few minutes before they left on Friday. I could see their feet under the carport. I then found a pot with food in it left there when I investigated after they left when there was nothing there earlier. Also, we have valet trash in our units and are expected there use trash bags. I have also seen people from the granite units walk down here and dump their stuff in our trash unit who live on the West side of the street instead of using their own. I have been living here a while and have only recently seen this be a problem where this trash is left outside the bin or haphazardly thrown in there and not picked up when they see it is not in the bin. I thought I would let you know.

Trash metal over water line access. Buckets of water, long heavy metal parts. Looks like garbage dumped against private fence. Perfect place for rats. Garage addition built too close to property line. No gutters on 2 story garage. Water rotted out neighbors privacy fense.
A couple packs of water bottles thrown out all over the road
They are pouring drinks and liquid (not water) including straws, limes, plastic from cups into the sewage drain by the building.
The lid on my trash bin is slightly bent. I can get it to close, but after the trash is picked up, it won't close completely. If it is raining, the bin fills with water. Can someone fix this? Thank you!
A cooler full of trash and stagnant water has been sitting in front of this house for several months now. It’s mosquito breeding time… I think this is a rental property.
