called Rhea in Sanitation, transferred to us; KL area, called to complain two weeks ago, nobody entered complaint, trash from bins left out, spreading throughout neighborhood
Homeless encampments all along the Rail Trail are covering the natural area in garbage and poisoning the creek with waste.
Next to my townhouse there is a furniture store. My front door faces their parking lot. There is a tree line- it is unclear who's property it is. A group of transient people have been living in the tree line. I don't believe they reside there currently but the mess left behind is so huge that I can't even let my children play outside. There is constant debris blowing, and I am concerned that they will wander toward the trees where there is just a TON of trash and things that I am positive are a biohazard.
Trash continues to accumulate outside trash containers on the property and blow into street and neighborhood. Accumulation of trash bags and random debris is a violation of Bloomington Trash and Recycling ordinance: "Accumulated trash is unsanitary and attracts rats and other animals. Properties with accumulations of trash or scattered litter or debris may be issued a Notice of Violation with fines of up to $150."
Pretty confident there is a person living in an old van on the property in the driveway. Is that legal? People are coming and going all day long. Cars parked in the yard. Trash everywhere.
There are on average 6-7 cars parked in the grass and drive. There are piles of trash surrounding the trashcans in the front. They've made a DIY fence made of baby gates, random fences and items they've found. From what I understand they do not rent, but are possibly past an eviction notice. It's possible there is no running water so where are all these people going to the bathroom or water? There are dogs on the property. How are they getting water? The building is falling apart. The city needs to step in and help the owner with this situation. There have been multiple reports on this property, animal control has been at the property regularly.
Community violations of the following Title 16 - RESIDENTIAL RENTAL UNIT AND LODGING ESTABLISHMENT INSPECTION PROGRAM[1]: 16.04.060 - Interior structure. 16.04.080 - Rubbish and garbage. 16.04.090 - Extermination/pest control. 16.05.010 - Compliance with local and state laws.
Trash is all over the yard and blowing throughout the neighborhood.
