Mrs. Selk called to report that the person who lives at 1416 S. Madison St. had at least 12 bags of trash out side of the front door. Mrs. selk stated that it is a good thing its cold out beacuse it would be smelling. She is worried about rats and dogs getting into the bags. She stated that this has been going on for the past few weeks.
Trash everywhere. Also look at 1310 and 1411 S. Palmer
Trash and lots of old tires in backyard at 1417 south high. Visible over fence from the cemetery on high and hillside.
Junk in front yard that needs to be thrown away.
Bagged trash in front of garage, wooden or cardboard spool in yard, car that has years-old expired plates in driveways, please clean.
Caller said this property has trash cans that are full and are in the city street. Racoons and other animals are getting into the full cans and making a mess.
Open trashcans and trash left permanently on City property (Habitat St.) Mosquito breeding site and vermin spread trash over street and nearby property.
Re: #165767 metal trash cans and car tire are not on his private property, according to Street Department. Also, the City never gave up right of way to alley before Habitat Street was paved, but property owner converted area to private use. He did the same thing with the Indiana RR right-of-way, but the RR cleared all of his junk out. City code prohibits open containers and trash being scattered. City code prohibits cans left on City Streets.
Please comply with Municipal code Chapter 6.06 - GARBAGE AND WEEDS The Street Department has told me repeatedly that Habitat St extends fully in front of 1417 W Habitat St, and the City of Bloomington will never reliquish right of way. Chance may have told City officials that the property is completely his, but he had converted both the front and back of his lot to his own needs. The Indiana Railroad cleared his stuff off their right-of-way; the story was in the papers. The City did not check about the trash with adjacent property owners at 1407 or 1419 West 8th St. In any case there are uncovered metal trash cans on City property, as well as a used tire. His trash still lines Habitat Street and the back of lot 1419 W 8th St. I have not been able to enjoy my back yard for years, and I anticipate another fine crop of mosquitoes to breed there each year, due to City inaction. Can you fix it? https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=155196 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=154439
