A truck full of trash has been parked outside of house for months. They live at the house but this is a nice neighborhood and they have a bunch of hoarding things outside house even. The car is parked in front of a stop sign which is super hard to get around when two cars are trying to go opposite directions.
After multiple attempts to ask property management at Reserve on Third to fix broken refrigerators, ovens that are causing fires, electric coming on and off in random apartments and to fix broken fire alarms, it is going unnoticed and it is a safety concern for all residents. At this time I am speaking for building 11 3rd floor, but there are others as well.
Reserve on Third property management is refusing to fix ovens that catch fire, fire alarms that continuously go off and just tell residents to hit the silence button and electric is coming and going - shorting out. This is after multiple complaints for almost 2 years. Particularly building 11 as I can not speak for all, but I feel that inspections need to happen for resident safety.
Property has not been mowed for well over a month

We are trying to figure out with our neighbor how to manage invasive, prohibited species on the property line. We are submitting our letter from us to them and would like advisement from the appropriate city employee to make sure we handle the issue correctly. James and Constance, Upon my review, it is not clear who cut back the shrubs / vegetation. Ellee and I reviewed the type of plants affected and there were no trees, only shrubs / bushes, as designated by the Bloomington UDO. The area in question is in both a Utilities easement and a Water run off / drainage type easement. I am not sure if someone was contracted to maintain these areas. That said, we did notice a significant number of invasive plant species originating from your property and invading / growing onto our property. As per the Bloomington UDO, these specific plants should be removed from one’s property. Our cursory evaluation identified at least and not limited to: common privet, porcelain berry, Japanese honey suckle, winter creeper and English ivy and poison ivy. What we would like by July 1, 2025 is your plan to maintain or eliminate the plants on the city’s invasive species list that originate from your property and grow onto our property. We will then take your proposal to the City for approval, as it is well established that maintaining invasive species includes not letting the plant flower so as to limit spread. If you have any questions identifying the specific plants, Ellee has graciously agreed to donate her time and effort to help you identify. If you cannot come up with a definitive plan for invasive species maintenance or elimination, The Spiers will be happy to maintain the invasive species growing from your portion of the easement onto our property in a quarterly fashion. All we ask is that you hire an official surveyor to stake a clear delineation of property lines / easement, so we know which of your invasive species plants are our responsibility to maintain. As good stewards of the community and being good neighbors, we appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Each season that goes by, your invasive species seed the creek and spread the invasive plants throughout Bloomington. If you cannot provide a reasonable plan, we will ask the City for assistance in devising a plan. Again, thank you for bringing this to my intention. I learned a lot about invasive species today. Bret
The yard on the corner of N. Stoneycrest Road and Winding Way is a jungle. I have not seen anyone come out of that house for years. Grass is high and weeds and trees have taken over. It is a terrible eyesore for our neighborhood. I can't see the address because it isn't listed on the mailbox, but you can't miss it. The one next to it on Stoneycrest has grass over eight inches high as well.
