Invasive Japanese knotweed growing on west side of house and south side of property along alley.
Invasive Japanese knotweed growing on west side of house and south side of property along alley.
There is a utility pole at the SW corner of this property (by the alley) that is completely covered in vines, most, perhaps all of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the alley and tenant parking lot and are so high up (25+ feet) that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or do the utility companies maintain their poles? If the latter, do we have to wait the 5-year cycle for them to come by and do the trimming, or will they come by if someone requests it? And if so, how do we contact the utility which bears the responsibility?
A large branch has fallen from a Maple street tree in front of my rental property. Luckily the branch did not damage any cars or my rental home. Please have this branch removed ASAP. Thank you. Catherine Steele
Dumpster on east side of building is overflowing, trash is everywhere and blowing into several adjacent properties.
Recycling bin sitting on sidewalk 24/7. Not clear which building it belongs to.
Lots of glass on the street in front of Nick's
Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.
Fecal matter on sidewalk outside of Pitaya.
Building recently removed. Now, used construction materials are being stored on the empty lot. Is the property zoned for such use?
