Trash and recycling left at curb and additional trash is next to house.
Trash and recycling left at curb and additional trash is next to house.
See the picture - resident is evidently unaware (or willfully ignorant) of trash and recycling protocol.
There are homeless encampments steadily increasing in number behind my house and those of my neighbors. There are now several in view of my windows. The amount of trash is staggering, including countless hypodermic needles. Trash is regularly set on fire by the residents of the encampments, producing noxious smoke that smells terrible and is surely not safe to breathe. The city needs to do something about these encampments. Open air drug use within feet of neighborhoods with young children should not be tolerated. I've been a resident of Bloomington for a decade and I'm strongly considering moving out of town due to the city's inability to address this issue. Please do something.
Excessive growth both yards to north and south of their driveway. Excessive growth hangs out in roadway. Compost bin south of driveway is not covered or enclosed. Rats!
illegal campsites on private property
I reported this problem on 7/25/24 and this was the response: "working with a third party contractor to schedule and abatement." Does it really take this long to take care of this problem?! It is now 9/13 and the problem has worsened yet again, and they have added two small Kroger shopping carts to the yard. I am sure city officials would love for this to be their neighbor! Please get this property cleaned up!
trash throught lawn, overgrown lawn
There is a campsite set up on W 3RD Street behind the convention center. in the photo you can see the tent with the convention center behind it. Across the street someone is camping in the doorway of the old Fox Motorcycles door way. There is trash strewn along the sidewalk. This makes it feel unsafe to walk on either side of Third Street between College and Madison. Because of the underpass the space feels constricted adding to the feeling of unease.
Excess overgrown side of yard
U-report 191557 says resolved. My opinion not this overgrowth is in the faces of the service. I hire to mow the city alley. If I have to remove snow from sidewalks in the winter for safety, this overgrowth is a hazard. It contains poison ivy and is very close to falling into my off street parking. Civic duty take care of it homeowners.
