Next to my townhouse there is a furniture store. My front door faces their parking lot. There is a tree line- it is unclear who's property it is. A group of transient people have been living in the tree line. I don't believe they reside there currently but the mess left behind is so huge that I can't even let my children play outside. There is constant debris blowing, and I am concerned that they will wander toward the trees where there is just a TON of trash and things that I am positive are a biohazard.

There are homeless encampments steadily increasing in number behind my house and those of my neighbors. There are now several in view of my windows. The amount of trash is staggering, including countless hypodermic needles. Trash is regularly set on fire by the residents of the encampments, producing noxious smoke that smells terrible and is surely not safe to breathe. The city needs to do something about these encampments. Open air drug use within feet of neighborhoods with young children should not be tolerated. I've been a resident of Bloomington for a decade and I'm strongly considering moving out of town due to the city's inability to address this issue. Please do something.

Pretty confident there is a person living in an old van on the property in the driveway. Is that legal? People are coming and going all day long. Cars parked in the yard. Trash everywhere.

There are on average 6-7 cars parked in the grass and drive. There are piles of trash surrounding the trashcans in the front. They've made a DIY fence made of baby gates, random fences and items they've found. From what I understand they do not rent, but are possibly past an eviction notice. It's possible there is no running water so where are all these people going to the bathroom or water? There are dogs on the property. How are they getting water? The building is falling apart. The city needs to step in and help the owner with this situation. There have been multiple reports on this property, animal control has been at the property regularly.

This property has accumulated months of trash in front of the residence, from bags of personal trash to full tires. They do not appear to receive city trash removal services and this accumulation of trash bags and random debris is a violation of Bloomington Trash and Recycling ordinance: "Accumulated trash is unsanitary and attracts rats and other animals. Properties with accumulations of trash or scattered litter or debris may be issued a Notice of Violation with fines of up to $150." This attracts pests and is a detriment to the health and safety of the neighborhood.
