I live on West Ezekiel Drive in Bloomington, which is part of the Summit Woods HOA. I've owned my home at this address for over three years, long before the rest of the neighborhood was developed. Since the neighborhood has filled in, the townhouses on my street have not been served by Bloomington city trash or recycling, leaving residents and nearby students in an apartment complex to pile trash in two hastily placed dumpsters in the drive behind our row of homes. As of tonight, the dumpsters are, once again, overflowing with trash, with full trash bags and loose trash blowing around our back yards and flocks of black birds feeding on the scraps. I have three children who often play outside, and several of my neighbors also have young children as well. Not only is this situation an on-going eyesore, but it is also dangerous and a sanitation risk for residents and families in the neighborhood. The city of Bloomington has told us that since this is a private street, there is nothing they can do to help. I’m writing to ask if you will help us address this immediate mess and also help us find a long-term solution to this perpetual problem. All of the homeowners on this street pay thousands of dollars in HOA fees every year only to see our street overrun with trash, which, ultimately, will depress property values and/or resale potentials. This situation is unacceptable and I'm hoping you to help us hold the HOA accountable and also help us find a new, more reliable and sanitary solution for the dumpsters. Every other house in our development has curb-side trash and recycling, including units literally across the street from us. I have reached out to Summit Woods HOA numerous times and they have never returned my calls or emails. Thank you so much for your help. You're welcome to call or email me if you have further questions. Richard Barnett scbarnet@indiana.edu 919-559-6282

two buildings on the property look vacant and are crumbling. In the satellite pic you can even see the hole in the roof on the building on the left. The middle building looks like a hoard and I'm confident the owner doesn't live in it anymore. Last week the mailbox was knocked over, then trash was all over the yard. There are missing windows, visible trash inside from the road. The barrier around the middle trailer is now broken is several places, leaving the underside of the trailer open to neighborhood cats. I worry for the people living in the single viable traier.

The trash bins at 1208 S Woodlawn Ave are left out in the driveway along the side of the road for multiple weeks, sometimes with trash inside for over 6 days at a time. There is no indication that the occupants will properly store their municipal trash bins. Trash bins are to be brought back to the house after 24 hours.

This house seems to be abandoned, yet it doesn't seem like the city has taken any steps to appropriately secure the area or take care of landscaping etc.

This is a rental property. How can this be? It looks like it is going to collapse. There is always trash in the yard. The same refuse has been setting in front of it for weeks. Please, clean up our neighborhood. This owner owns three houses in a row. How do they pass inspection?
