Thorns growing into street. Howe and Maple. SHARPS!

Overgrown grass and brush. They do not mow or maintain property. Also, trash and junk left outside all the time.
Townhouse condos behind us have not trimmed the weeds that have come up as a result of all of the rains this season.
Ticket #205013 was closed by Barry stating "it is way outside the city limits" which is incorrect. This property is indeed in Bloomington: 1645 S Olive St Bloomington, IN 47401. The issue: overgrown yard and vegetation piles are a hazard and promoting mosquito and tick habitat.
Home has been abandoned for several years. It is not secured (openings and a broken window present). The interior is in a state of demolition. Gutters have trees growing in them. Shed is unsecured. Rear fence fallen over. Debris pile in rear yard.
There is a sinkhole, approximately 14 inches diameter and 12 inches deep, in the road. It's relatively recent. It could be dangerous.
Brawley management has put up "For Rent" signs in the ROWs at multiple locations in the neighborhood along Washington and Lincoln and between 8th and 10th Streets, and likely at other locations around the city. Please remind them to periodically reread the City Code - hopefully, they will eventually learn to be less self-serving and dismissive of the neighbors.
A new resident moved into the neighborhood recently who is in a wheelchair (permanently). He appreciates the ADA-compliant corners at the intersections, but he has difficulty navigating some of the sidewalks where they cross alleys. This particular location is *notoriously* degraded and should be the first alley-repair done next time the City is thinking about ADA issues. Specifically, it is midway between Lincoln and Grant on the south side of 10th. Thank you.
Trash beside home
Trash cans left on sidewalk all week.
