Jamie Ward 812-512-5473 3789 E McCracken way apt 8 Bloomington Indiana I bought a brand new washer and dryer from Lowe’s just a couple of months ago. My dryer started making a really loud noise yesterday and a red light came on. When I googled with the light it said exhaust./duct issue. I called Samsung to ask them to come and look at my dryer because it’s still under warranty and they asked me has anyone cleaned the dryer duct/ vent outback? I said that I had not I can’t even get to it. I don’t have a letter that tall and I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m not sure if Maintenance had or not they said that they would not send anyone to fix the dryer until the duct was cleaned out. I contacted office management. Who then informed me that she tried to get the owner to have Maintenance to come fix it but he declined. I have a two year-old and a three year-old not only do I need a dryer, but there’s obviously an issue../fire hazard!

Graffiti

Case Date:

Loads of trash left over from a drug addict encampment. Been there over two weeks. Don't know if it is on New Hope's property or City property. It's an unsightly and smelly mess. Please either have New Hope clean it up or send a city crew to do it.

I discovered this graffiti at an address where RCV Roofing was recently working. I have called the company to alert them to the situation and asked for abatement. I do not know what action they may or may not take.

I am 62 years old, and this time last year I was just getting back to work after 3 1/2 months rest healing from a broken ankle. When I moved in to 1200 W 12th St, I noticed the sign (photo #1). I even asked Bloomington Housing Authority about it. They said it would be okay to park in front of my apartment. I have been parking in front of my apartment since March 2024. No tickets, no problems. It made it very easy to get to my apartment - load or unload my car - and I could keep an eye on it while in my apartment. Today I get home from work (I work full time at IU as a custodian. Yes - I work FULL TIME and still need Section 8 to get a place to live) to see fresh paint denying me my usual parking spot. I had an ADA tag for a while, but it was temporary. It expired. The problem is: I can’t see my car now unless I get up and look through the one window that lets me see my car. If I have to park farther away, I won’t be able to see it at all, and I will have to walk farther and across the street to access my car. I am old, diabetic, autistic and cannot walk a far as I could before the broken ankle. After work, it is very common for my right ankle to be aching on top of the Diabetic Neuropthy I have in both feet in addition to my jangled nerves from interacting with people and handling emergencies. This neighborhood can get a bit sketchy sometimes - it helped my normally high anxiety level to be able to see my car. My anxiety is already high from people walking so close to my apartment and cutting through my yard - can’t do anything about that so I live with that anxiety. I don’t want to break the law, but this is so unfair! I already pay $828 a month for this tiny apartment - that is ONE WHOLE PAYCHECK. My rent is figured as 30% of my GROSS income. I pay quite a bit for my taxes and Insurance, and I have quite a few medical issues so I have to scramble sometimes to get bills paid and pay for all the drugs I have to take. I live paycheck to paycheck. I have to work so I have health Insurance. Even though I am 62, I can’t get Social Security if I want to live here because it would price me out of Section 8 and I would have to move (AGAIN - I just moved in here a year and a half ago). I can’t work less because i need Insurance from work until I reach 65 and can get Medicare (if it still exists by then). If I have to park further away, then my ankle will be that much more achy when I get home. I’m going to see if maybe I can qualify for a permanent ADA Tag, but even then the 4 HOUR LIMIT would kick me in the butt. That doesn’t even take into account bad weather days or having to walk farther with loads. Where I am currently parked in photo #7 would be a better ADA space. Usually no one parks there, and it is closer to the Boys and Girls Club. Please help me.

I work in Luddy Hall on the IU Campus. I have an ADA sticker for my car. The only ADA parking close to the southside of the building in on the west side of Myles Brank Hall behind Luddy. The City of Bloomington has timed parking along the south side of Luddy on Cottage Grove. It would benefit me to have at least one or preferably two of those parking spaces issued for drivers with a disabled license. This building has no parking on the other three sides. I'm 71 years old with major health issues and we have elderly and/or disabled family members come to Luddy also, especially in inclement weather when there is more possibility of falls. Thank you for your consideration. You are welcome to contact our ADA representative at IU, Frank Epperson at [email protected] He is also aware of the situation.

The sidewalk starting at 2206 S Rockport Rd to Countryside Ln is very overgrown. It creates a hazard because you have to leave the side walk in some areas and Rockport is a bust road.
