I was walking my dog in this neighborhood recently and I was surprised to see speed bumps on this block — it’s a narrow street, barely used, and you can’t get any speed because you have to turn at either 6th or 7th. I asked a neighbor why the city installed these and was told a new resident installed them on their own. Is that permissible??
I live at Union at crescent I am having an issue with a tenant that lives on the third floor apartment 301 him and his kid are very loud I have asked the man several times to keep the noise down and his response is I'll mace you if you come to my door he's also threatened my wife to mace her he's threatened to have his girlfriend or wife beat up my wife because we're telling them to tell their kid to keep the noise down I live on the first floor I can hear them on the third floor there's nobody that lives on the second floor above me and this has been going on since I've lived here
I have signed up for online access, but to date I am not getting my bills online. What do I need to do?
The house on the NW corner of 10th and Park is a Chickering rental. The old light in the NE corner of their backyard finally burned out and they replaced it with a very bright light that is casting annoying light on both neighboring houses close by (715 and 711 E. 10th) all night long. Can you ask them to shield the light or redirect it so that it only lights up their property and does not shed blinding light on the neighbors? You'd think the would know better than to do something like this. Isn't there some sort of light trespass law?
Rogers Remodeling has been playing music loud enough for me to hear in my house with the windows shut since May 2025 when they began construction on my neighbor, Alex Cartwright's house. I have asked the workers and Mr. Cartwright to respect the Bloomington Noise Ordinance. I have read the ordinance and would like further information about what else can be done. For example, could they be asked to wear headphones? Could the music be played inside instead of outside? Could they turn off the music when they go to lunch? Could they move the boom box away from my window? Often the music starts as early as 6:45 am when the worker arrive in their trucks in the morning.
I’m not 100% sure it’s this address, but someone nearby has a rooster and it’s crowing all the time and is quite annoying. I believe the guy at 615 w Ralston has chickens and that’s the general area the rooster crowing (starting as early as 5:15am) is coming from. If it’s not him, it’s someone pretty close to him. Maybe next door to him or even on Country Club. Can someone please try to get this rooster out of the city limits? Thank you!!!
There has been a dog barking at night at this residence for the past three nights. It was barking last night at 12am. Despite a previous call to police, who verified there was a dog door at the residence, the owners seem not to care that the dog is barking outside in the wee hours of the morning, disturbing neighbors. Thank you.
The city planted an oak tree in my yard. I wasn’t informed of that. I am highly allergic to oak pollen. I’m request it be removed. Trees are very expensive to maintain. That’s why there are no trees in the front yard. We don’t have sidewalks on Nancy Street.
Both of these locations have slushy, icy sidewalks today, days after the snow stopped falling. I know it will melt soon, but it should have been cleared days ago, especially on a major pedestrian walkway. Thank you.
Sunday afternoons, even in the downtown area, should be a chance the peaceful enjoyment the premises of one's own abode. Today, however, the noise from the sidewalk musicians who are somehow sponsored by the record store on the east side of Walnut just south of Sixth Street, makes any peaceful enjoyment impossible. I have my windows shut, even though I should be able to have them open on a day as warm as this, and even though the windows are shut, the noise is quite intrusive. Does Bloomington not have a prohibition against this kind of use of the public right of way? Don't you need a permit, or can any business just say: Hey come play the drums and electric guitar out in front of my shop? More maybe they do have a permit. If they do, they should post it so everyone can see that it is allowed. I understand a certain amount of weird noises are part and parcel of downtown living. But this seems like an abuse of the downtown public sphere. Thanks for whatever you are able to do to help make downtown Bloomington actually livable.
