Many bags of trash on the ground and trash overflowing from cans. Also loose trash scattered about with animals digging through it.
Garbage overflowing bins and scattered about all over "street" (more like an alley).
Garbage piled up on west side of house facing Grant Street.
Bush honeysuckle growing out, mostly blocking sidewalk. Needs to be dug up, not just trimmed.
As has been usual lately from this property, trash is overflowing from cans onto the ground. Multiple bags laying on the ground. Some loose trash scattered about the area and getting onto nearby properties.
Not clear which address to use. City-created, grassy area in traffic-control sidewalk extension into the street needs mowing. SW corner of Grant/9th. Is this the responsibility of adjacent property owners? If so, would that be Plantation North Apartments, apparently now being referred to as "Campus Walk North" (CRE Rentals)?
Grass continues to be too long. Only fines will work with these people (Parker Rentals).
Note: prior complaint was filed under a different address by the system ("402"). The case number for that was #186916 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=186916) The response then that the hole is for rain water is nonsensical. If people kept the lids closed, what little rain we get would not enter the dumpster. Also, no other dumpsters in the neighborhood have such holes and an associated rat problem.
We have complained about this before, but nothing was done. The dumpster in the parking lot has a large hole on the east side near the bottom, ostensibly for drainage. However, it is large enough for rats to enter and exit, which they do to feast at night. There are *always* rats running around the parking lot because of this. They live in the little caves right behind the dumpster. Please do *not* poison or trap the rats. Rather, we would like the hole sealed up so that the rats will no longer have an endless source of food and will move somewhere else. This seems like a simple fix. What do we have to do to get someone to listen?
This entire property apartment complex is rented out to a fraternity. The result of that is continuously loud noise at night and a dumpster that is constantly overfilled. The upside is that during the summer the property is silent and pleasant, but for the nine months of the school year the neighborhood is forced to suffer their presence. The property management (Pavilion) seem to be oblivious and uncaring, but can the City at least require them to enclose the garbage dumpster so that neighbors do not have to look at it? This is not the fault of the garbage hauler (Ava), because they pick up the trash regularly and on schedule. However, these tenants are such high-maintenance, consumption-oriented pigs that they generate far more waste than normal people ever could, the dumpster is almost always overflowing, and it smells horrible. Please help.
