Hi Folks, Recently I reported that a neighbor of mine had not been cutting his grass (he lives at 2227 Laurelwood Drive). Someone from your office put a note on his door, and within a couple days the grass was cut. Thank you! However, this weekend I received the written warning from the city! (I live at 460 Laurelwood Drive...funny numbering in this subdivision). My grass is always well-kept, so I think someone just got confused. The form said this warning was issued by #208. Just know that the person at 2227 Laurelwood Drive did not get the warning, and it would be great to remove the warning from my records. Thanks so much! Dan Woodside

There is a SUV size pile of trash on the sidewalk and in the street directly across from the Grant Street Inn office. Has been growing for weeks. Blocking pedestrians. Unacceptable. Please help.

I have a large and growing homeless encampment behind my home at 2431 S. Bryan Street as documented in the photo above. In the fall of 2022, this property (located to the west of the B-Line trail, between the B-Line and S. Bryan Street/S. Camden Drive) became the site for a homeless encampment. Initially, it was a couple of tents and tarps. However, gradually it has gotten much larger, including several more tents and many old tires, several shopping charts, and numerous pallets. Surrounding the camp on all sides is a large and growing volume of scattered garbage and debris. Earlier this month, camp inhabitants started parking a car on the property on a makeshift driveway off S. Camden Drive. The campers are also collecting and storing firewood in shopping carts. Several times a week, there are fires in the woods. I live at 2431 S. Bryan. The encampment was initially 125-150 feet from my home. However, over the last few days, a tent has appeared approximately 25 feet from the property line. Next week, my 26-year-old daughter will be staying alone in my house. With the growth of the homeless encampment, I am very concerned about her safety. Last fall, when she was also here alone, a man who appeared to be homeless tried to force his way into the house. In my view, a growing encampment that is moving very close to my house is an unacceptable safety concern. Obviously, this is a zoning violation. But it is creating conditions that increase the likelihood of crime, as the people living in the homeless encampment lack the basics of shelter, plumbing, and food security. Within the last week, two ”Private Property, Keep Out” signs have been posted along the B-Line trail in areas immediately adjacent to the encampments. It is unclear, however, who put these signs up, as the inhabitants may be trying to limit the size of their camp. The encampment is on Parcel # 53-08-09-300-045.000-009 in Bloomington. According to public records, the owner of the property is Cmdr 2 LLC. The address for the homeless encampment is listed as “S Walnut St, Bloomington, 47401.” It appears to have been part of a larger land parcel that was divided by B-Line trail. The address for Cmdr 2 LLC is listed as 3115 S Highway 37 Bloomington, In 47401. But per the Secretary of State's office, the address is 3535 Spring Branch Road, Bloomington, IN, 47401, USA. The registered agent is Michele Jones, 9389 Rockwood Court, Noblesville, IN, 46060. This can be resolved either by the City of Bloomington enforcing its zoning laws or by the owners of the parcel filing a complaint of criminal trespass. I am hoping this communication will spur action by the City, the parcel owners, or both. Bill Henderson, 812-361-3726. wihender@gmail.com

The grass at 3522 E. Morningside Drive is really high. There is no one that lives there so if you post a notice on the door about grass/weed violation it most likely will not get seen. I believe the owner lives out of state. So how is this going to get resolved. The grass is high and unsightly.

My smoke detector has went off for weeks. After notifying a staff office member she was very dismissive and rude about it. And it's still not fixed and worries me. Clogged sink. Light bulbs in bathroom and microwave over light. Bathroom has mold. Black mold. Smoke detector hanging from my son's room by wire and they never sent maint. Drugs and needles (what I believe must have been drugs) many times in the hallways staircases and elevator. Used condom wrappers in hallways and staircases.

I'm unsure of the proper office to contact; however, there is a vacant property at 610 N. Park Ridge Rd. in the Park Ridge East neighborhood. I believe the man who was living there died about 1 year ago. A tree had fallen on the house and after about a month or so, was removed. The house still has a hole in the roof with a tarp over it, a car in the driveway that is rusting, and is deteriorating overall. Another neighbor - probably the owner of the house at the end of the cul de sac of Wiltshire Court - has been parking 2 vehicles in the grass off the road of the vacant house. That same neighbor appears to have multiple vehicles parked in the cul de sac of Wiltshire Ct. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Re: 1709 E Circle Drive. Maybe it is time to remember the tenants that the broken office chair that they first had in front of their house for weeks, but then moved towards the neighbor house at 1805 Southdowns, will not magically disappear unless they call the Sanitation Department for an extra trash pickup.
