Trash
1026 W Kirkwood AVE
- Case Date:
- 10/23/2025
This individual has left wooden planks and other miscellaneous trash sitting outside for several months at a time instead of disposing of it properly. At times, the wind has blown trash into my yard. There is clearly some interior renovation happening inside, but the actual work is far and few between. In the weeks/months nothing is happening, this is what it looks like. During the summer months, weeks would pass before the grass was mowed. All in all, the property is not being maintained properly. I have additional images I can share, but the uReport system only allows me to include one.

The "Stone Mansion" on Washington has damage to the stone wall. It's a historic structure, so I hope it is fixed with regards to that and not a cheap fix.
Excessive Growth

Lawn hasn't been mowed since sometime last year. In the back there's even a fallen tree that was never cleaned up. No leaf cleanup has been done for well over a year, so leaves blow onto other neighbors' lawns. A brush pile in the front by oak tree obstructs view from driveways. Poison ivy in multiple spots, which now appears in neighbors' yards. Also, have seen snakes and they also appear in neighbors' yards. Additionally, more ticks seem to be around than in years past. Many of us in the neighborhood have children and grandchildren, so this is disturbing, as well as being an eyesore and potentially negatively impacting home sale prices. Thank you.

Hired mechanics and car detailing staff working on cars in the driveway and on the side street. There were 3 trucks delivered for repair this week and parked in front of this house. Major car repair shop business going on for years and remains untouched by the city.

This bag has been at this campus walk building for over 2 months. This morning while walking my dog around 6:45 I saw 2 large rats exit the bag and my dog tried going after one. The smell is horrible and this is right by the sidewalk. Attached is an image of the bag and the property it’s at.

The road is covered by grass and tree growth including a huge tree growing out of the sidewalk. This is the major railroad train access in the city of Bloomington. They use this every winter for emergencies and to switch tracks. I’m not sure at this point if the gate will even open. The road needs repairs and trees cut before winter to be safe. Ty so much for addressing this issue
Trash
1822 E Second Street
- Case Date:
- 10/20/2025
The tenants are leaving 4 trash and recycling containers in the grass alongside the driveway all week, very visible from the street. This seems not to be in compliance with the UDO 20.03.030 (h) (8) A.
They should move those cans into the garage or behind the house.

A collection of junk has been visible from the street (the E Second part of the property) for a very long time now. Maybe the owner can be asked to clean up the items in front of the garage doors.
