Folks are parked on the grass. This is a no parking street. Can you please address this? I have asked them to move their cars, but they have not. Thank you!
This RV is being used for storage.
The sun is out of compliance with the city ordinances. I reported it a year ago and then an early summer. You told me they were appealing and I haven't heard anything back. It's an obnoxious monstrosity coming into the gateway of Bloomington and if you can't enforce the rules for a big sign, why are you enforcing them on little businesses? What's going on here!
Along the north edge of property where the alley intersects Grant and under the junipers, there is an old, metal fence with a single stretch of barbed wire at the top. This is alongside a public alley, so the barbed wire should not be there, as per City Code 14.36.030 - "Barbed wire fences". It would suffice if the offending wire were removed.
This residence has become a storage and distribution point for restaurant equipment, furniture, and liquor.
This building has an extremely bright on the west side of the building that not only illuminates their property at night but also shines across Grant street and floods the houses across the street with sharp, glaring light. It is so blindingly bright that it is hazardous to walk down the steps of those houses at night. Can the city require that property owners face lights downward and/or ask them to install some sort of shielding so that the lights are not so offensive to the adjacent neighbors and neighborhood in general? It's bad enough that the building is so generic and tacky, but can the city prevent them from ruining the lives of people in other properties, all the while causing a hazardous situation to exist?
Ongoing construction of MIL unit on Maple behind 801 W 7th no visible permits. Ignore previous u-report/wrong address. House and construction is on SOUTH side of 7th Street at Maple.
To the best of my knowledge, this property is not zoned residential. There is not a HAND permit on file either. But there are people living in the garages and possibly in other structures on the lot (shed/RV/Semi trailer). I don't believe the property is connected to sanitary sewer and may have an old septic not rated for residential.
House has four very bright floodlights that shine horizontally away from the house in back, resulting in the three houses on the south side of 11th Street being drenched in glare all night long. Please ask them to at least shade the lights or reorient them so that they only illuminate their property and don't ruin the night-time for everyone else in the neighborhood.
