I have detected ground fault issues in 7 of my 14 outlets in the residence, apartment 25. And I detected numerous ground fault issues in apartment 29 as well. My cat found this issue on the night of September 6 after scent spraying a power outlet. The breaker failed to prevent an overload, a fire started, and I had to manually throw the breaker myself to kill power to the malfunctioning outlet. I believe the landlord is cognizant of the issue as one of the 3 replaced outlets was never discussed as damaged or of issue.
Neighbors at 904 S Westhill st Bloomington Were burning brush last night May 9th. The whole neighborhood was smoky and smelled until at least Nin Oclock. I worry they will continue.
Tenant using fire pit to burn trash in their backyard inside city limits: 2521 S Rogers St. Previous tenant burned a lot of stuff before they moved. The new tenant must think it's ok also.
Hello! There is a non-power line dangling from the lines in front of my house. I called the power company and they came out and said it was a communications line. It isn't my internet so I am unsure as to who to call. I feel it is a danger because it could be in contact with power lines. Thank you for your help!
Large piles of firewood, placed along the property line, along a wood fence, along side of house. The firewood is intermixed with other conbustable waste collected. Firewood is too close to house (should be 30 ft away), too close to wood fence, too close to property line/ neighbor's fence. Fire Hazard suspected, especially in 2020, a long time without rain, 56 days.
There is a power line in the middle of maxwell and thorton
517 West Wylie Street. This property has accrued a considerable amount of debris and excessive overgrowth to the extreme. Today, 30March2021, there was a brush fire on the property that endangered the neighborhood. The fire was so large that the hospital issued a alert to the staff stating that the fire was "....affecting the facility's HVAC units and depositing a smoky odor in the hospital building.....". When is someone going to do something about this mess? This property has been a disgrace to the McDoel Gardens Historic Neighborhood for a long time. It’s atmosphere is objectionable. Please help.
The venting system that should be connected to the dryer is not properly connected. Therefore, lint has been piling up behind the dryer for approximately a year now, which is a major, major fire hazard. The previous tenets told the landlord about this issue on August 21st, 2020, but this issue wasn't resolved and still has not been resolved. The landlord has been given proper notice that this issue needs to be fixed and it has not been.
I am very concerned about this deliberate house burn at 1213 S. High Street. The burn is happening now as I write to you and I went outside to look at it and there is so much paint debris and soot on our property and on our house. It is covering our solar panels and I am seriously concerned about this as I am a two time cancer survivor and need to breathe this unnecessary toxic fumes. Will the city clean up this mess that the fire has caused on our property? I don't know why I should clean this mess that probably includes lead in the paint ans is unhealthy to breathe in. I decided to go inside so I don't have to breathe the toxic fumes regarding the burn. Who agreed to this burn that is happening in a very busy residential area? I thought the City Council and the mayor were very concerned about having Bloomington be green and thinking of the environment. This deliberate burn is not healthy for the atmosphere nor the residents who live nearby and have to breathe this toxic air. It just seems to be one thing after another that we have to deal with in regards to the city and their decision making and nothing favorable for us as city taxpayers. We would like somebody to clean up all the paint debris on our driveway and our solar panels. Ingrid Faber
