This is my second official noise complaint against Juannita's Mexican Restaurant, located at 620 W. Kirkwood Ave. Bloomington, IN 47404. The restaurant staff uses outdoor speakers to play music that can be heard outside property lines--I live across the street and can hear this music in my living room and bedroom, at times clearly enough for it to disrupt my sleep. I have complained directly to Juannita's management by phone, email, and in person on several occasions, to no lasting avail. Last May, I submitted a uReport regarding this issue and received a prompt and professional response from Jason Carnes, the Assistant Director of Small Business Relations. Mr. Carnes reached out to the Juannita's manager with a warning about the City’s noise ordinance, which seemed to be effective for a time. However, the music has recently become a problem again. I am a graduate student at IU, and dreading the prospect of facing another school year of being unable to concentrate or relax in my living space. Please let me know what further steps I can take to hold my neighbors accountable for this noise violation. Thank you, Kaitlin Mackenzie

Why can't a store like Vintage Wearhouse on 4th St buy used items from local individuals and a store like Once Upon a Child can? Seems like whatever regulation governs that is incongruous.

Hello! I had a collection judgement filed against me from Fieldstone Housing Association (west side of bloomington), and I paid the amount I owned them. I am looking for the release form saying that I have paid off the judgement and the collection. Would you be willing to provide that collection clearance to me at the email address in this form? All the Best and thank you so much, Brandon Wilson.

Hi, I am trying to find the appropriate department to ask about air quality regulations in Bloomington. Specifically I am doing feasibility research for opening a coffee roasting company in Bloomington and I need to know what regulations exist within the city and what remediation may be involved. Thanks Dan Mikesell

Hello - I am reporting a noise violation that I have previously reported to the City. I do not want to burden the police department with this, as I believe it can be worked out in a reasonable manner. The Royal Toyota South car lot on Walnut is a noise violation according to City Ordinances. I first reported this problem in December 2017 (Ureport Case #162088). The case is marked as "resolved" although the phone continues to ring just as loud and just as frequently to this day. Since that time, I have determined the City simply does not care. Business with multiple locations and money in town, versus lowly homeowner. I decided to report it again today because the phone has been ringing quite a bit lately. A review of City Ordinance 14.09.040 does not show this as a valid exemption. Under 14.09.030(c)(4) a loudspeaker is a prohibited noise. Also, I have heard this phone ring between the hours of 9pm and 7am previously which "is prima facie evidence of a violation of this section." The car lot has previously acknowledged to the City that this is their phone ringing. I simply want to be afforded the quiet enjoyment of my home and my property free from this incessant noise violation. I am roughly 2,000 feet from this car lot. I also know this is heard on the golf course at the Country Club, more than 3,000 feet from the car lot. The City is allowing one perpetrator to cast a very wide net of annoyance to local residents through a repeated noise violation. Please help those of us on the south side by putting an end to this violation of City ordinances. Thank you. Best, Nick

The 3 Amigos restaurant at 601 North College Avenue has installed a permanent outdoor speaker blasting music into the courtyard residential area. I would like to see if anything can be done to limit the use of or volume on the outdoor speaker. Thanks for your assistance.

Comcast has set up a tent on the corner of 3rd and Atwater and is blocking the sidewalk with signs. Do they have a business license to be operating here? Are they allowed to block the sidewalk?
