yard overgrown, not attended to at all
Large amount of Japanese knotweed growing on rear of property. Japanese knotweed is aggressively invasive. It is spreading to nearby houses.
Call about a number of houses along Joy and Jed Streets. Yards have not been mowed, including back yards which are visible from the street. Also yard has tarp on lawn killing grass (not sure if that is allowed)
There is discarded furniture being stored outside of their shed, at the northeast portion of the property.
There is pothole on westbound Country Club Dr west of Walnut and across from Grease Monkey shop.
Trash is all over the yard and blowing throughout the neighborhood.
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.
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."
Lots of gravel in the road on the west side of Rogers
