This HVAC unit associated with the City Showers Building offices is a nusiance. I clocked the sound levels at 88 decibels. I made a similar complaint about a month ago. The screeching noise just keeps coming back. I can hear it in my office even. Please find the funding to do a proper ungrade to this system. I cringe when I leave my office building.
Green spray painted graffiti marked on my wall between 518 and 512 W Howe St. This appeared 4 to 6 weeks ago.
Graffiti on stone wall at sidewalk on University St
The HVAC that serves the City Showers Building is increasingly getting louder. The sound level has gone from 88 decibels last week to 95 decibels this week. My office is the very most northwest location in the Showers Building and I can hear it through the office walls with a sound like the drone of a cicadas. I invite you to see how long you can stand on 10th Street adjacent to the Showers Building without plugging your ears to the high pitched screech of the City HVAC. I will likely swing by for public comment at the next available public meeting. Find the money in the budget to replace this nuisance please. It is truly upsetting those who work nearby it.
Gang Graffiti
Graffiti is covering the warehouse that is on Fairview, directly across the street from Extreme Auto Detailing. (their building also has graffiti on it. Warehouse is directly north of the B-line on the East side of Fairview street. Started with one tag and now it is getting worse each day. Can the city get the property owner to remove this mess please?
Graffiti is again on all the STOP signs in the Winslow Farm Development area. The City of Bloominngton replaced the signs with STOP signs (white paint with War graffiti underneath), but now vandals have placed War in black paint beneath the STOP signs). Almost all the STOP signs have this (Laurelwood CT,, Laurelwood DR, Bent Tree Dr., Alzelea, etc.).
The train trestle underpass just past Bender Lumber is an incredible eyesore of graffiti. It is an extreme example. I don't know if the city graffiti busters (I was referred to you by Mayor Kruzan) have used black paint to "address" this site, but if so it actually looks much worse. The older train track underpasses all over the perimeter of the city need to be checked and the graffiti addressed. Former Mayor Tomilea Allison's policy was to paint over all the graffiti at a site like an underpass with gray paint to completely remove any trace of tagging and defacement. She did this as soon as it was reported. This discouraged the vandals knowing that no one would see their dog-like marking of that territory.
A few months ago (Beginning of September), I noticed spray paint graffiti on the front of the detached garage belonging to the house that I rent at 702 W. 13th St. My landlord asked that I file a report in addition to one that she filed (I believe for insurance purposes). Since this happened a little while ago, I'm happy to answer any follow up questions needed to file a report.
