Attempted occasional renovation work at 101 S Jefferson St is leaving the structure open for weeks at a time. There is clear line of sight from 5th street into the main structure. I believe there is a permit displayed. The climbing vines are covering the openings faster than the construction crew.

Trying to find way to reply to our previous report. The only way possible is to create a new one ... This is about UReports concerning RE: #202909 Thank you for the people who looked into this for us - Rob Council replied "Exterior inspection has been conducted on property. Does not meet unsafe threshold" How can this be if there is no longer yard fencing on South side of pool? Pool water is green, cover is off, complete access into yard to pool by alley (There used to be a garage that fell down and was removed before sale) Isn't there a City safety ordinance about pools? Ex. "In Bloomington, Indiana, an ordinance requires fences around swimming pools and other water-filled excavations. Specifically, Ordinance 17-19 amended Section 14.36.160 to align pool fencing requirements with the Indiana Administrative Code. This means that swimming pools and other water-filled excavations must have a fence at least 4 feet high that completely surrounds the pool area.
Elaboration:
Ordinance 17-19:
This ordinance amended Section 14.36.160, which previously required fences around all bodies of water with a depth exceeding 36 inches. Now, the ordinance primarily focuses on swimming pools and their fencing requirements, aligning with the Indiana Administrative Code.
Fencing Requirements:
The Indiana Residential Code (R326.27.3) outlines specific requirements for pool fencing:
Walls or fences at least 4 feet high, completely surrounding the pool and deck.
Self-closing and latching gates and doors, capable of being locked.
Alternative means, deemed impenetrable by the enforcing authority, can be used instead of traditional fences.
A combination of the above options is also allowed.
A power safety pool cover can be used as an alternative, provided it connects continuously to the deck and requires a key or other secure mechanism to operate.
Violation:
Violating the ordinance is considered a misdemeanor, according to Section 14.36.170."

Backside of Yorktown Courts apartment building has back wood tri-level-deck that has center-vertical, main-support beam, sinking into ground so much that the 2nd & 3rd-floor decks are dangerously straining their connections to the building and interconnections to the whole structure, to a degree that the strain of the back-porches poses a risk of collapsing under strain.
