Urgent Complaint Regarding Road Conditions at Tulip Tree Apartments Dear manager, I am writing to formally raise a complaint about the poor road conditions at Tulip Tree Apartments, particularly the section of the road immediately after exiting the parking lot. As a resident, I have noticed that turning east from the parking lot has become increasingly difficult due to the uneven and damaged road surface. Since moving to Tulip Tree this academic year, I have experienced recurring issues with my car’s wheel alignment. In November of last year, I had to get a four-wheel alignment, and again in March of this year—both times due to a fault in the front right wheel’s toe angle. This issue never occurred during my previous residency at Campus View, but since living at Tulip Tree, I have had to perform two alignments in just a few months to prevent uneven tire wear and avoid further damage. Given that I frequently turn east when exiting the parking lot, my front right wheel has been subjected to excessive strain due to the poor road conditions. I understand that driving slowly over rough roads can help minimize vehicle damage. However, the actual road conditions make it nearly impossible to pass through slowly. Vehicles traveling westbound are affected by the angle of the road, making it difficult for me to accurately judge distances. As a result, I am often forced to accelerate quickly when I see an opening, further exacerbating the stress on my vehicle’s suspension and alignment. Indiana University has been actively repairing roads across campus, yet the roads around Tulip Tree remain in a severely deteriorated state. While I cannot directly prove that the road conditions are the sole cause of my vehicle’s alignment issues, the correlation is evident—especially considering that I had no such issues during my time at Campus View. The need for multiple alignments in such a short period is highly unusual and costly. I strongly urge the management to address this issue and take immediate action to repair the road. This is not just a financial concern for residents facing repeated maintenance costs but also a significant safety issue. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response regarding any planned repairs. Best regards, Sherlock

Potholes, Other Street Repair

1531 S Dorchester DR

Good morning, there are 2 enormous pot holes directly in front of our 2 parking spaces and have been watching them continue to increase in depth and size (probably primarily due to the trash trucks that drive right over them twice a week) since we moved in here a year ago. I haven't complained about them previously, but back in November 2024 I had to get help from St. Vincent De Paul to help replace CV joints, ball joints, multiple other parts and ended up having to replace my front axle, as well, directly after having to drive through these potholes to get into our parking spot for a total of approximately $995. St. Vincent De Paul was very generous and helped us by paying $500 towards our bill and I paid the balance. In addition, a few weeks ago, after scraping bottom once again on the Southern most of these two potholes. I ruptured a brake line, lost control of my vehicle temporarily and had to spend another $395. last month to repair that. Unfortunately I am on a fixed income and this caused us to be late again on our rent. I just cannot afford to not say anything now as I am a disabled single mother trying to get my youngest through college at IU Bloomington. Could someone please respond letting me know if there is any reimbursement for damages or recourse I might have for these multiple damages to my vehicle and when approximately these holes might get some attention? I do have receipts from the repairs. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter and your reply to my inquiry as to reimbursement or recourse. Twice in the past 4 months I have had to be late on my rent to continue to have a vehicle to secure food for my family as I am on SSDI and the sole income in our household and am trying to keep my rent current and credit up so as to qualify for a mortgage again in the near future.

Water meter cover at the given address is broken and dropped into the service well. Apologies if this is a duplicate. Looks like construction equipment from nearby site may have run over the cover, resulting in the situation.
