There are numerous unhoused people that are loitering in the area throwing trash and garbage in this parking lot which is blowing into our property.
Trash is overflowing containers behind house (on Fairview). There are needles on the ground a few feet from a public sidewalk where young children pass by. They have been there well over a week. No one seems to be staying at the house right now.
There is an illegally parked vehicle outside 1415 David Baker
When turning right from S Highland Ave onto E Hillside Drive, vegetation on the left badly blocks the view of oncoming traffic on Hillside. You have to nose your car well out into the street to be able to see to the left and verify that it is safe to turn right onto Hillside. Please have that vegetation trimmed.
It is frustrating that reports made about trash and couches on porches do not seem to be followed through with. HAND says they do so, but the problems continue. This house, for example - *MOUNDS* of trash are piled up on the west side of the building, and couches remain on the porches all in full view of Runcible Spoon customers. Does HAND issue daily fines that accrue? Or does HAND even issue fines? And if so, does HAND ever actually collect the fines? And if they do, what happens to the money they collect? And if any or all of this happens, are there any records of the fines and their collection statuses viewable by the public? The same issues (trash, couches) are continuing at other addresses in the neighborhood, such as 213 N. Grant and 317 E. 7th, both in view of Grant Street Inn visitors.
Many students have to jaywalk every day here to catch a bus, and 99% of drivers don’t understand the situation. If you do a quick search, you'll realize this has been an ongoing safety issue for 5–6 years. I’ve raised it before (last year and again this year), but nothing has changed. Please consider adding a sidewalk to improve safety. https://www.idsnews.com/article/2025/11/17th-street-crosswalk-crash-data-bloomington-indiana-university-campus-safety-news?utm_source=dailyheadlines&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=article-email-link
Trash receptacles provided by Brawley Properties not sufficient for residents. Brawley is aware of the issue, and trash is blowing throughout the neighborhood, wildlife is digging through the garbage. It’s been going on for weeks. I’ve personally cleaned it up to prevent it from going into my yard, and all the neighbors are frustrated.
Police car #1249 left running in the parking lot as officer went grocery shopping and showed pictures from his phone of a vacation with Kroger staff. Officer then ran a stop sign as he left the parking lot. Presumably the police are not above reproach?
Dog loose and in road and yards. Afraid it is going to get hit, no collar
