Mike Arnold --
An update from a coupe weeks past on this address, I have been been busy or else would have sent a message sooner.
2/10/18: I reported to Bloomington Police the north, back of house, doors open. Lower door wide open, upper door open but storm door closed. Officers (six) arrived and cleared the house, Windows are still unlocked and storm windows may be opened as they are not closed in place on nearly all windows. Please make contact with the owner and request that they close all windows and check the two doors so they may be closed and locked.
I have mentioned to you in the past, on the lower door, stone wall has fallen and mud prevents storm door to close. This needs attention.
Please be more aggressive in your home owner contact. Monitoring this house and follow up on securing the house is now using Police time and resources. Plus my time and others neighbors concern that the house is being entered by homeless and others trespassers. It appears a mess inside and needs attention.
If you cannot get results on this homeowner's negligence, see history back to 2004 where the city has sited issues, I will follow up with the Mayor and City legal. This needs to be solved to hold the homeowner accountable for action before something bad happens; house fire, frozen water pipes, trespassers cause issues.
If you can, please tell me who the homeowner is and their contact information. I am willing to contact them to discuss issues (as the Neighborhood Association representative) - plus Bloomington Police wish to make contact. By the way - the house has not been occupied since December 2016.

Sidewalk Snow Removal

- Case Date:

Snow has not been removed from the sidewalk on the west side of Smith Road from Grandview Drive south to Morningside Drive (or near Morningside). Snow is several inches deep, making passage and access to the Smith Road bus stop difficult.
Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)
3508 E Park LN
- Case Date:
- 8/16/2020
The house at 3508 E Park Lane has not been inhabited since April or May. There are mounds of junk and trash on the side and in the front of the house. The front yard has been mowed once across the summer but the side yards and the back yard has not been mowed. We have seen an increase in the amount of mosquitos in our neighborhood this summer, it is possible that the back and side yards provide breeding grounds. I would like the city to send a representative to check on this property and require a clean-up. This is not helping us improve the overall value of the neighborhood.

Last week lid on trash bin had 1 hinge broken by the trash pickup process. Will the city replace the bin? Thank you.
