Not clear which address to use. City-created, grassy area in traffic-control sidewalk extension into the street needs mowing. SW corner of Grant/9th. Is this the responsibility of adjacent property owners? If so, would that be Plantation North Apartments, apparently now being referred to as "Campus Walk North" (CRE Rentals)?
Grass continues to be too long. Only fines will work with these people (Parker Rentals).
Note: prior complaint was filed under a different address by the system ("402"). The case number for that was #186916 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=186916) The response then that the hole is for rain water is nonsensical. If people kept the lids closed, what little rain we get would not enter the dumpster. Also, no other dumpsters in the neighborhood have such holes and an associated rat problem.
We have complained about this before, but nothing was done. The dumpster in the parking lot has a large hole on the east side near the bottom, ostensibly for drainage. However, it is large enough for rats to enter and exit, which they do to feast at night. There are *always* rats running around the parking lot because of this. They live in the little caves right behind the dumpster. Please do *not* poison or trap the rats. Rather, we would like the hole sealed up so that the rats will no longer have an endless source of food and will move somewhere else. This seems like a simple fix. What do we have to do to get someone to listen?
This entire property apartment complex is rented out to a fraternity. The result of that is continuously loud noise at night and a dumpster that is constantly overfilled. The upside is that during the summer the property is silent and pleasant, but for the nine months of the school year the neighborhood is forced to suffer their presence. The property management (Pavilion) seem to be oblivious and uncaring, but can the City at least require them to enclose the garbage dumpster so that neighbors do not have to look at it? This is not the fault of the garbage hauler (Ava), because they pick up the trash regularly and on schedule. However, these tenants are such high-maintenance, consumption-oriented pigs that they generate far more waste than normal people ever could, the dumpster is almost always overflowing, and it smells horrible. Please help.
Is the City responsible for retaining walls alongside walkways or does it fall on adjacent property owners to maintain them? On the Lincoln side of this property there is an old wall that is just about to collapse. It seems that if a team of masons got in there now prior to its failure, they might be able to take it apart somehow and reset it so that it will last another 130 years. But if it were to fall on its own, the stones would likely all break up and be useless trash. Property owner (Parker Rentals) is aware of the potential problem, but they do not seem to care. The surrounding area has many retaining walls that add character to the community. It would be great if this one could be saved.
There has been a trash bin on the sidewalk on the east side of Grant Street for several days which does not belong to anyone on the east side of the street.
Huge pile of refuse on the north side of building with boxes, recycling, etc., strewn about all over and piled up making places for rodents to dig through and creating a fire hazard. Elevate says this is an IU property (?) so not sure what can be done, if anything. Originally a beautiful building, but it now looks Third World - current inhabitants are irresponsible, inconsiderate, and/or oblivious, whoever they are.
"Lawn" needs cutting. An annual problem with this property. (Parker rentals.)
