Hello, We have reached out before but nothing’s big has been done. Opposite our house is a vacant lot which has a city meter on it. Trash including diapers and an old armchair have been dumped there. It’s been slowly rotting for years. It’s an eye sore and also encourages more dumping in this area. It’s at the corner of w. 12th and N. Oolitic dr.
Abandoned homeless camp in woods, just south of footpath between S Clarizz Blvd and E.Latimer Rd
Dear John, I'd like to draw your attention to something that's happening at Walnut Grove apartment complex south of town. Somebody has recently bought it, is raising the rents, and economically challenged people are having to move out with nowhere to go. I run a food pantry there once a month and have gotten to know many of the people who live there and they are angry and frightened. What's happening there may be legal, but is certainly unethical. I understand that you are interested in creating low income housing, but this is a situation where low income housing is being flipped for a profit and leaving many people literally out in the cold. Please tell me if I have any recourse to help in this situation. Many thanks, Mary Blizzard
The property at 1000 E Atwater Ave (currently operating as an illegally zoned fraternity) is also apparently being used as a public urinal. I have seen three separate individuals urinating on the wall of the house that faces our driveway. As tax paying home owners, we would prefer. to see this (or to deal with associated health hazards). Is this not a ticketable offense - public intoxication and/or indecency? Please take action. On behalf of the entire neighborhood of Elm heights, please take action. Thank you.
There is a house in our neighborhood, 4011 Stonegate Drive, Bloomington, Indiana, that has been abandoned and it is hoarded. There is overgrowth covering the front of the house. There is a car in the drive with 2014 tags that has not been moved since 2014. We have our house on the market and believe this eyesore may be affecting our ability to sell our house.Could the city do something about this house?
Trash piled up alongside east side of house, 316 E. 7th St.
For the entire 12 years we have lived next door to our neighbor, Roger Reading, 2403 N. Browncliff Ln., he has left piles of trash and inoperable cars on his property. We have asked him many times to clean it up, and he occasionally has complied, only to resume using his driveway and surrounding area as his open trash can and junkyard. He fills the unused cars with trash, throws trash on the ground (sometimes right next to trash and recycling bins), animals get into it and spread it around, etc. The current tally of neglected cars is 6--one in his open garage, surrounded by garbage, and five in his driveway (part of which we share as easement to Browncliff). I was once also in his home as per his invitation to help him locate a waterline break. It is also filled with trash and is in a state of utter disrepair. The one photo you allow me to attach does not come close to doing justice to the extent of this mess. We are tired of allowing him to affect our sanitation and property values. We called your office and complained for the first time in March--not sure whether any action was taken. Please help. Daniel Reed, 2369 N. Browncliff, 812-320-9687. Thanks.
Time to check 304 Hopewell junkyard again. More junk has shown up and the engines are still next to the street. Is there anything else that can be done?
1016 w Kirkwood is unsafe. It is for sale and has been abandoned for over a year. It has no locking door on the back but rather a broken single pane storm door held by a concrete brick. Inside there the house is dangerous to enter. There is standing water in the basement that has been there for over a year. It is growing mold and mosquitoes. The walls are down to the studs. There are holes in the floors and ceilings. We have have had to call the police due to intoxicated individuals entering at night. I am afraid someone will get hurt or die by falling into one of the holes or the standing water directly across from the back door.
