Re: #165767 metal trash cans and car tire are not on his private property, according to Street Department. Also, the City never gave up right of way to alley before Habitat Street was paved, but property owner converted area to private use. He did the same thing with the Indiana RR right-of-way, but the RR cleared all of his junk out. City code prohibits open containers and trash being scattered. City code prohibits cans left on City Streets.
This yard has not been mowed in at least 60 days. The grass and weeds are very tall.
We attended the football game on Saturday and walked through this complex at 1425 N Dunn. The trash is atrocious and you can't even walk on the sidewalks because of the overgrown landscaping. I have attached a few photos of the grounds, and this is just a portion of the trash. This is an embarrassment to Bloomington and also to guests from out of town that see this mess. If you could please advise!
lot not mowed this year
Owner continues to neglect the overgrowth of grass is now at 3 ft

Apartments 309, 312, and 320 are in severe egress with multiple sanitary issues. There is an infestation of cockroaches as well as gnats and maggots which are effecting surrounding apartments. The management only has the apartments sprayed once a month and have done nothing to take actions against these tenants to address the issue after having multiple complaints from tenants in the surrounding apartments.
Neighbors leave their trash bins at the curb all the time, continuously. They never bring them in, and will often leave recyclables next to them so they blow away everywhere.
