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.
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.
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
Trash can left out going on 3 months now....
Trash can has been at curb for 2-3 months
Persistent issues with loose trash bags (shown in this photo) from Dec. 9, toppled commercial trash bins, large items left on tree plot (the wood pallet has been leaning on that tree in photo for 4 weeks), and encroachments on sidewalk. All this is on the University St. side of the corner house of 624 S. Fess.
Smoke detectors non working beeping over a week, one has been hanging from my son room ceiling, I have told staff in regards of being freightened it will fall on him also have reported it to them in writing. The microwave light has been out as well as two in my bathroom in which I've asked them to reach several times and I am disabled with hip replacements so it isn't a possibility for me to do so. Stairway has harmful items blocking the door. Stairway has harmful items such as Ziploc bag next to a needle appearing to not have a covering so the pointy tip side is visibly out and I notified staff in case a child or anyone incidentally gets hurt or stabbed with it. Window screen appears to have huge slit in it Heat not working all winter and fall in which I personally purchased a small portable heater. All detectors beeps but they do not assist me to replace making me very concerned for my safety.
Bed bugs reported in location as building-wide issue. APT owners not treating.
trash and various items in front and back yard for years
More than one person is sick with bronchitis in multiple units in the building. The doctor states that bronchitis can be caused by materials that pollute indoor air. I know that we all share one furnace where one unit has control over the temperature of all six apartments in the building. There was questionable contaminated water that was sitting in a unit for the month that the residents were getting sick; it was plunged down the drained Monday 11/7. Though the water is not there anymore, the health and safety of the ventilation & air quality is still in question. I also cannot open the windows easily to the whole apartment to let fresh air in (is that a fire hazard?)
