Fire Hazards

319 N Walnut ST

Case Date:
4/24/2026

I am reporting a possible overcrowding/fire safety issue at Kilroy’s Sports, 319 N Walnut St, Bloomington, IN 47404, during the Chainsmokers-related event on Thursday night, April 23, 2026, continuing into early April 24. Both the downstairs and upstairs areas appeared dangerously overcrowded. People were packed tightly in both areas, and movement was extremely difficult. I have videos showing the crowd conditions upstairs and downstairs. Many guests remained packed inside because the event repeatedly suggested The Chainsmokers would perform downstairs, but the venue did not clearly clarify that they were not coming downstairs. The crowd continued waiting in unsafe conditions. I am concerned that both the upstairs and downstairs areas may have exceeded safe occupancy limits and that the crowding could have interfered with safe exiting in an emergency. Please forward this to the appropriate fire/code enforcement department for review. I can provide videos, photos, timestamps, and witness information if needed. Thank you!

Fire Hazards

918 N Lindbergh DR

Case Date:
3/7/2026

I am filing this report to provide supplemental, formal documentation of ongoing health and safety hazards coming from the unit at 918 N Lindbergh Dr. I want to state that the Bloomington Housing Authority (BHA) usually does a good job, and I appreciate their efforts. I have already spoken with them and they are investigating. However, I understand the process can take time. Since these problems have been ongoing for approximately one month, I am formally documenting these issues to ensure the City has a record of the situation while it is being addressed. 1. Violation of No-Smoking Policy and Fire/Explosion Risk: As this is a government-regulated building, the lease strictly prohibits smoking inside. Per policy, any smoking must occur at least 25 feet away from the building/doors. For about a month, there has been a persistent cycle of smoking tobacco and other combustible materials occurring within downstairs units, primarily originating from Unit 918 and potentially other units downstairs. This occurs in a unit where medical oxygen tanks are present, representing a significant fire and explosion risk to all residents. 2. Severe Health Impact & Insomnia: Heavy tobacco and non-tobacco odors originate from the downstairs area and float up into the upstairs apartments, causing chronic insomnia and physical distress, including dry mouth, dry throat, coughing, and dry heaving at night. This environment is impacting the health of neighboring residents including those with established medical accommodations who are experiencing nausea and a loss of appetite. I am providing this record specifically to protect myself and my neighbors from being unfairly held liable for property odors, fines for cigarette butts, or damage originating from the downstairs units. 3. Property Maintenance and Sanitation: Despite my efforts to regularly clean up cigarette ashes and butts to maintain the area, they reappear daily and are now becoming soggy in the ground. When I politely asked the residents to stop leaving cigarette butts and ashes on my doormat, they claimed they "could do nothing about the wind," showing a total disregard for the property's cleanliness and my personal entryway. 4. Safety, Harassment, and Guest Conduct: I have attempted to resolve this in a neighborly way. When I asked the individuals to please move outside and then to please move away from my door, they immediately began shouting and using extreme verbal hostility and gendered slurs. During this confrontation, I was told that I "had no rights," that the area was "public property where people could do whatever they wanted," and was told to "call the cops then" as they stood less than 5 ft from my door on the patio. The resident of Unit 918 was present and stated he had no control over his guests' behavior while they were shouting at me. Because the resident refuses to take responsibility for the conduct of his visitors and the environment has become verbally abusive, I no longer feel safe having any direct contact with that unit. Purpose of Report: This statement is for formal record-keeping. I want to ensure the City has a documented history of these environmental, safety, and harassment concerns to protect the health and lease standing of all neighboring residents. I appreciate the BHA’s ongoing work and submit this to support a safe, compliant living environment.
