City of Bloomington (Historic Preservation Commission?) My wife and I recently purchased and moved in to 348 S Morton St, which is on the Indiana Historical Registry. Earlier this month, using uReport Case 181400, we requested Parks & Rec to help with some heavy brush between S Morton St and the B-Line (they were very responsive -- nice job Paula and Team! :-)). Reviewing the work after clearing was done, walking along the B-Line trail, just below 348 S Morton St, I noticed some block/stone work that might be quite old (pic attached). It appears the block/stone work is there to shore up the embankment for a considerable stretch of S. Morton St. Now that it's visible, it appears that this block/stone work is in a state of disrepair :-( A couple of thoughts: • Is it possible this could be looked at to see if this block/stone work has any historical significance • There could be some concern that this block/stone work may not have the original integrity it was intended to have regarding shoring up the embankment along a stretch of 348 S. Morton St.
trash and various items in front and back yard for years
There is even MORE trash in the back yard now! PLEASE PLEASE make them clean it up! This is directly and very negatively impacting our properties. I've send several complaints. This issue is costing me so much money at this point. Please do something.
There is so much garbage outside this house, the house looks like it's falling down and I think an older lady and children live here. I own the houses next to this and it is VERY much negatively impacting our life. PLEASE do something!
Brown sofa left outside seeing people camping or sleeping there
Large trash items in front yard, including a mattress
There is trash building up outside the house in the front yard including a large mattress in the front yard
Lawn is un-mowed for months and weeds are several feet tall .....
We've had a problem with invasive Tree of Heaven ever since the city came a couple years ago to clear the overgrowth in the "alley" space at the northwest corner of the property. Since then, the overgrowth has of course returned, but it's now more aggressive, with the inclusion of Tree of Heaven, which is spreading to the rest of the property. It might be a good idea to clear that overgrowth again. Perhaps there are other preventative measures that can be taken.
