Dear Inspector(s),
I am the property owner of 135 N. Clark St., 47408, Joel J. Barker (son of Mary Jo and Jim Barker). My tenant has brought to my attention that the residents of 134 N Roosevelt St., 47408 are placing their junk/garbage (broken lawn furniture, trash bags, etc.) in the back of their property out of sight from the street. I would like to give you, the inspector permission to come onto our property at 135 N. Clark St., 47408 and take care of this violation.
While the violation continues you, the inspector have my permission to come onto the property until the trash is removed. Please do give me notice when a visitation is scheduled so I may inform my tenant. Thank you for your time and service in resolving this matter.
Sincerely,
Joel J. Barker

Hello,
I am sorry to keep pestering you about this but nothing has changed at 3321 N. Valleyview Drive here in Bloomington. There are several trash bags in the front yard as well as other trash. It looks like animals have helped make the mess a bit worse.
Could you please work with the proper authorities and city services to clean up the mess and levee liens against the property as well as continue to reach out to the home owner to get this mess cleaned up? The home owner probably needs to cited.
Thanks,
Damien Erwin

Subject: house on Valleyview
To: simsd@bloomington.in.gov
I must not have seen you on Friday because I forgot to email you the address about which neighbors have concerns. It is 3321 N Valleyview Dr in Fritz Terrace. I drove by yesterday and it looks like the trash that had been strewn on the front driveway has been moved to the north side of the house and covered with tarp. Maybe someone is working on it : ) but I would like to know what is going on there.
thx Doris!!

Trash on property and across the street.
- Case Date:
- 5/22/2018
Sent Monday, May 21: "I have been to your office to complain about the mess at 823 w. 7th street. The front porch is covered with trash that has been accumulating for 15-20 years. The back and side yards are overgrown and contain litter and receptacles that can fill with standing water. The property is a breeding ground for mosquitos, rats, and other pests. I and several neighbors believe it poses a risk to public health. Your enforcement officer took a look, but told me that nothing was ticketable. I respectfully disagree. While the overgrown vegetation is not “turf grass”, it is a menace and eyesore. The garbage on the porch attracts human as well as animal pests. It invites others to litter and dump on the property.
Although I was at your office, I was not given a complaint form to sign. Nor was I able to submit a complaint on your website. (I don’t know why unless it was my iPad) I definitely want to file an official complaint and have it kept on record. I also ask you to reconsider and help us to clean up this blight on the neighborhood.
Thank you."

Rental (duplex) has been vacant since Aug 2023. Since end of May 2024 there has been trash piled on the porch and backyard, left by squatters. It was cleaned up in June and trash is there again. Also it appears that someone is living in the back garage, which does not have doors and was supposed to be boarded up by the owner.
