Bloomington seems to be having less and less affordable housing compared to the increase of luxury apartments and high-end housing being built, which is doing nothing to help this town given how much poverty, homelessness, and gentrification plagues Bloomington.
A backyard in my neighborhood is overgrown and has excessive debris. It is infested with rats.
Problems at 115 E Sunny Slopes Dr House abandoned for over a year-past owner called, but no action-I am neighbor (at 105) and I mowed the front, but the back is over 24" high-and big problem with pool in back that has not been drained for 2 years or more (serious mosquito threat)
Resident at 1000 Chris Lane has not mowed this year
Grass is very tall in side yard.
Grass is overgrown. Overgrowth covers speed limit sign on west side of property and is growing out into the street.
(see photo) THIS is the yard at 913 W. 11th Street. The owner uses this house for storage and seems to think this neighborhood deserves no better than this heap. The front porch is just as bad. This is more than unsightly. This is a health and safety hazard - there are several children living right next door. PLEASE get this taken care of for the sake of everyone. I will also be contacting Kate Rosenbarger about this.
Continuing trash problem around dumpster. Pillow? in front yard, chairs, tarp-covered furniture in back yard has been there for 2 weeks.
The neighbors are building up a cat litter pile again. The smell is terrible. They have a long history of doing this...
The next door neighbor has not cut his grass yet this year and has not cut it in previous years
