I work at Wininger Construction at 1605 S Walnut. Neighbor two houses south has lots of trash in back, including stolen shopping carts. Also, due to the amount of foot traffic into that home, I suspect potential drug activity. You may use the Wininger parking lot in back, to view the trash at that house. (Enter our parking lot from Southern Drive. Our office driveway on Walnut is very steep). We reported this house a year or so ago, and I think these are different tenants, but the trash is piling up again. Not a good first impression on folks patronizing our business, and appears to be a health hazard for the neighborhood. Thank you for your consideration.
(I just tried to send this, but got an error. My apologies, if this gets sent twice). I have reported this property a couple of times previously, and they seem to clean it up for a little while, then trash it again. It has a stolen grocery cart and lots of nasty trash piled up again, despite the fact that Bloomington provides trash bins and pickup service now. Still seems to be a health concern and scary to our clients who come in through the parking lot in back of our building. Also, I am still concerned with foot traffic and the likelyhood of drug activity at that home. Is there a way you can get those folks to clean up things and keep it that way? I did try to send a photo on my first try, but I think that might be why it had an error, so I will send this without the photo.
House is vacant and backyard is seriously overgrown with ivy and has nesting rats. Neighbors are mowing front yard so our cul de sac doesn’t look bad.Fence is falling down on 2 sides.
The property right next door, 1623 E 1st St, is a rental property that the tenants just moved out of. The trash can is overflowing and blocking the street for over a week. (Mr. Bigelow called the front desk of City Hall and spoke with me - Isabella V)
Vegetation from the property at this corner is hanging over the sidewalk, preventing pedestrians from using it.
Lawn in the front is completely overgrown, grass exceeds knee height.
Adding a photo to the report I made yesterday, #183806. I've knocked on the door a couple times to connect with my new neighbors (house bought this past fall) before making this report but there is never anyone home.
I have complained about this property on and off for years. It is abandoned. The house was taken down last year but the issue is the weeds which have turned into trees because it’s been not handled for 10 years. I’m at my limit. I am begging you to please come cut everything down. It is now pushing my fence. Please, please, please help me with this property. I live at 1632 Buffstone court.
