Unsafe Buildings
412 S Walnut ST
- Case Date:
- 7/1/2015
Dear Sir or Madam: My wife and I own Shean Properties Ltd. and the property at 1114 North College Avenue in Bloomington. Directly to the north of our building is 1116 North College Avenue which is owned by Robert Grabbe. His home has been a mess since we acquired this property in 1994. I believe that Mr. Grabbe has abandoned the building. The postal carrier has told us that homeless people are living inside. The lawn has not been cut in months and I haven’t seen Mr. Grabbe in 3 months. It is time for the City to exercise its authority under the Unsafe Building Law and remedy this situation. At the very least the grass should be cut and the broken windows boarded up. Thanks, John John H. Shean, Esq. SHEAN LAW OFFICES, P.C. 1114 N. College Ave. Bloomington, IN 47404 812-333-7216 wk / 812-325-3346 cl www.sheanlaw.com cid:89722779-61C0-4D60-81CE-9B13B001BB82@myhome.westell.com
Neighbor called to inform department that windows have recently been broken and doors busted open.
Neighbor complained of yard waste from a downed tree that has not been cleaned up.
"For the past 3 weeks the tenants across the street, at 509 S Highland Ave, have left their trash sitting out on the curb. I have made numerous complaints with HAND (Maria is assigned to the case.) There is clear evidence at this point that the tenants are not planning to remedy the issue even with the several tickets they have received. I have attached several photos of the trash. There is clear evidence of animal activity, it has become a public health issue, and as a property owner I am concerned about my property value as well as the prestige of the Elm Heights neighborhood"
Neighbor called. A tree limb has fallen on this house and knocked down the power line. The house is owned by 5/3 Bank 5001 Kingsley Dr. Cincinnati Ohio 45263
