411 E First Street, half of the sidewalk is covered by overhanging long grass. This was reported in the summer already. Nothing has been done about it.

Growth behind new apartment complex at 720 N Walnut is again exceeding 8". This is the same area that was reviewed and cited early this summer.
Waist-high grass and weeds at 1706 E Second, the part of the yard that faces the Eastside Drive. Has not been mowed for months now.
I work in an IU office at 914 E Atwater. Our parking area is in the alley behind the building. It is reached through either an east-west or a north-south alley. Most of the houses along the alleys are rental properties; at least one is a private residence. There is a lot of overgrowth from the yards that extends into the alleys. I already have a scratch on my brand-new car because of being brushed by some of that overgrowth as I pulled into a place, having had to swing wide enough to fit in between two cars. Is there anything that can be done about brush that grows into an alley? Am I within my legal rights to bring a lopper to work to cut off the brush and small trees that are narrowing the alleyway? My old car had a number of scratches for the same reason, and I was hoping to avoid it with this one. But no such luck. On a related note, it is difficult and a bit dangerous trying to turn right from the east-west alley onto Faculty. Between the power pole and the overgrowth, visibility is terrible. I am happy to do the trimming if I won't get in trouble either with the city or with the homeowners, but it obviously would be better if the city could do it. Please see the included photo, which consists of two different views. Thank you.
This is MY third complaint about this house. I know for a fact other neighbors have complained too. This house is a total junky mess: yard a disaster, junk, old boxes, debris piled everywhere. Backyard never touched by a mower. I cannot believe you can not make them clean this place up. I wonder what they are doing in this house. I will take pictures if I need to.
Excessive growth of grass
By the cemetary where 3rd turns into Kirkwood both the signs saying which lane ends are not visible to drivers because of tree limbs. I understand that Bloomington wants to have trees to beautify the city but I have lived here 9 years and the overgrown trees that are never pruned or trimmed are a safety hazard!!
Many neighbors and I use the sidewalk on the east side of S. Henderson St., opposite BHS sports fields, between Wylie Farm and Graham Roads, but I am writing to report that the trees and other growth next to it have become a nuisance and need culling/trimming back. Thank you for your time and attention. Best, Justin
For HAND: this is my annual complaint about the shrubs in front of 401 S High Street. They are starting to encroach on the sidewalk again so that it will be hard for someone with a stroller to pass that part of the sidewalk. And once someone is in the neighborhood, they may want to check out the south-west corner of the Second and High Street intersection. Weeds are starting to creep up the sidewalk there as well. Thanks!
In front of property 1505 E First pedestrians almost have to step into the street to avoid low-hanging shrub branches. Can the tenant be asked to clip them? Thanks.
