By the warehouse along the Bline: The lack of adequate facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington, combined with all the overgrown vegetation, and potentially the use of the warehouse as a shelter, has resulted in ~ 10 cars being slept in overnight. That part is fine. However, there are no facilities for people to use the restroom, which results in the vegetation (behind the warehouse) and along the Bline being used as a latrine. Can Bloomington please pay attention to the homeless issue and take it seriously? Covid is not going away there must be facilities for people to use the restroom and throw away their rubbish. Currently, it's thrown all over the street on Hillside. Portland built tiny home communities to help with the homeless population, others offer hotel rooms, still other cities provide YMCA-type facilities. Bloomington continues to take this problem seriously and help this critical component of our community! With regard to restrooms in particular, given our current pandemic, safe and sanitary options for human waste are essential. We still do not know whether coronavirus can spread through human feces. Given that we live on karst topology, it is crucial that people aren't pooping outside (never mind walking through it and the horrid smell).
Parcel of land to the EAST of 1002 W Pinehurst is overgrown and is part of Southern Pine Common Area. Mr. Barnett would like to mow it and keep it up BUT would like someone to do the first mowing since it is overgrown. Parcel taxid:015-14841-00 State Parcel ID:53-08-08-305-079.000-009 Owner: Southern Pines LLC Neighborhood code: 53009119-09
Property has weeds and foliage that have not been cut for over 3 months and are growing onto Mr. Shields' mailbox. He has reported this before and is concerned that nothing has been done, especially now that his mail carrier is complaining about the growth on the mailbox. Thanks for your help.
New property owner purchased building in August. It has only been maintained once since ownership (the first week it was owned). There has been no exterior maintenance since (mowing, leaf pickup, etc). This pertains to 421 E Hillside as well.
grass not mowed, yard overgrown, same with the crème colored house directly behind that house
It was reported several times about excessive yard growth. Their backyard is still overgrown causing unwanted pests in neighbors yards. It is also not safe for their children to play in.
Duplicate of ticket 180481, created on 7.1.22 and closed WITHOUT resolution by Maria McCormick on 7.6.22. I don't know, Maria. Does this look "resolved" to you? Property owner of 909 W Cardinal Ct fails to maintain property on the south side of the "creek", resulting in the attached. Overgrowth along the "creek", overgrowth in shrubs, bushes, and trees, and for the past two years (no thanks to the City), skunks have been living in the den created just on the other side of our fence. Husband routinely mows over or startles snakes when mowing two-three strips outside our fence. We're in a city neighborhood, for crying out loud. Kids are supposed to play in the backyard?? I can't believe the growth along the "creek" is aiding drainage at all, nor am I understanding how any of this is hard to find or hard to see, assuming anyone actually performs a site visit. All we want is to be able to enjoy the backyard. This? What's in these pictures? That's not why we moved here.
