Tap water taste like dirt, smells slightly of sewage, and leaves chemical taste and tingle in mouth after drinking. Concerns for the safety of the water and at minimum is not palatable at all.
The side walk on the north end of our property continues to sink, resulting in standing water that discourages use & causes build up of trash & mud & causes a tripping hazard. There is a public drain of some nature in the same area just east of the area that floods. In order for the water not to stand it’s necessary for us to cut a small ditch through the area between the side walk & street for it to drain. When we asked for inspection of it in the past we were told our flower beds were too high. The flower beds are on the same level as surrounding grass & we have not built them up over the years, only planting perennials beneath pines that were there when we purchased the home 8 years ago. There are Callery pear trees in the birm are of the sidewalk which I know are famous for causing destruction around wet areas. Is it possible these trees are the problem? Please look, once again, to see if “fresh eyes” might determine further investigation to be warranted. Thanks for your help albeit likely far in the future with all of the flood destruction you need to attend to urgently. Be careful & take good care.
Each time it rains, this low spot under the bridge fills with water making it difficult for cars to pass. Is there something that can be done to improve the drainage here?
The Olcott Park doesn't have a water fountain. The water fountain located by the bathrooms is missing. Kids use the park after school for practice and don't have any way to get water while outside.
The Olcott Park has no serviceable water fountain. The water fountain located by the bathrooms was uninstalled months ago and a new one was never installed. Schools use the park for athletes to practice every day after school, and they have no access to drinking water while at the park!
Multiple large items curbside. Maybe they are hoping passers by will be interested in water logged broken furniture?
Water fountain bottle filler has been running for several minutes and will not turn off
There is a mold infestation in the every one and apartment in the complex. The foundation and insulation of the apartment isn’t built correctly. There are moister and water leaks often.
Most residents have animals and the common area has a permanent fowl odor of animal urine and excrement. Complex will not enforce city requirements for cleaning up after pets. There is also a spot in the garden area that consistently floods and has stagnant water. The dog park is not cleaned up either and is spreading disease to other animals. The run off from this complex alone is dangerous. Inside the buildings the dog waste stays on the floors and walls without proper cleaning as the cleaning lady only uses fabulous or just water. This makes it impossible to not track inside the halls and homes of all of the residents. Some residents have 2 giant dogs in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment. NOT TO MENTION A HUMAN BEING KNOWN TO URINATE OUTSIDE IN COMMON AREA!!!! There is a community garden that complex has implemented with food that is getting contaminated. Complex does not treat lawn with lime annually. Does not comply with Bloomington code on this or in general and animals and residents are making complaints and getting ill. This apartment complex smells like a kennel on a hot day and this odor gets sucked into window air conditioners creating a whole different problem. Upper respiratory issues are common due to known mold issues, the waste from people and animals, and go away after leaving property. Animals run without leashes in dog park constantly with no close supervision so it deters residents from taking dogs to the dog park. The dog park is not cleaned up and has piled up mounds of feces. This is not enforced by management let alone any of the other known issues that they have with living conditions. Mold, unsafe water, garden that has food in standing water flood plane, poor plumbing. These issues get dismissed and staff is more than willing to gaslight residents and say that there is no issues. If they fix something it is either painted over or smeared with caulk and not actually completed per code. They have also sprayed pesticide around the common areas with no warning or knowledge to residents. This includes the community garden that they tell residents is supposed to be organic. The watering hose pulls out of the bricks. They have been seen burying literal extension cords, not Romex, running from shop to office without any calls to city. HAND was just out here last year fixing issues that they had and it has just gotten worse. Uneven sidewalk is causing falls. The fencing has compliance issues. The inside of apartments have foundation cracks on all floors and drywall is pulling away from ceiling. Complex has threatened residents with extra charges due to recent issues with flushing objects that should not be flushed when trees outside are likely a huge issue with plumbing. Office keeps food on floor inside office that they donate to residents. Under sinks are rotten and cabinets are falling. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND POINT! THIS PLACE IS UNSAFE FOR PETS LET ALONE PEOPLE! They let family's live here even though they only offer 1 bedroom apartments. There is plenty of proof that this place is causing issues for residents. Not to mention that staff is possibly pocketing money from misc charges. There was kitchen appliances just sitting in the driveway over night a few nights ago. They let staff take them home and cut cords off of air conditioners to scrap. Not enough handicap parking. Handrails outside and in are not secure. Leaks are left for so long before fixed and damaged property is never properly dried or replaced. Fans in bathrooms do not suck air. Apartments have ZERO air circulation to maintain healthy conditions. They refuse or ignore you if you have any issues with air conditioners because they do not want to replace them. They will pull appliances that have issues and replace them with used appliances with other issues. They add in charges that are not in lease contract. Management watches people smoke marijuana and drink alcohol in common areas causing unsafe conditions. They have been made aware! They work directly with BEACON to get people in here and then prey on people with fixed incomes and leave them with less than $100 a month to survive on. No one can afford to move out of here and are stuck here sick and miserable. People avoid areas outside because of the inebriation. The police have been out more than a few times due to fighting because of this. Cleaning crew that they 1099 throw trash from second story windows into truck beds. They let mowers mow lawn going way too fast. They don't even pay for them to mow dog park most of time. Have found syringes and literal drugs in common areas. The trees are constantly breaking off whether its windy or not. Lumber and random trash sits around office workshop. The old railroad ties could be contaminated with arsenic that sit and rot and leach into the ground. The elevators are never properly maintained and have been out of order for months at a time. The hallway fire extinguishers are missing from wall. The floors throughout bubble and are uneven. The drains stink often due to improper plumbing. Water pressure is random. Cold water is warm. They do not flush or maintain waterheaters. The dryers in buildings do not work due to being hooked up with equipment that isnt code. The vents to the dryers are cleaned 1 time a year. Rubber boot for sewer line cleanouts are not capped and have never been secure. They do not spray or enforce proper cleaning of air conditioner units causing serious respiratory issues. The less management spends on repairs the more bonuses they get. High turn over rate of employment due to obnoxious demands and poor quality. If an employee does they're job correctly they are reprimanded for taking too long. Management and maintenance are related technically so money spent is peculiar and repairs are biased. Watched maintenance just mop up a water leak on first floor and not actually fix issue that caused leak which was from second floor washer. This literally killed someone from a fall a few years ago.. The ceiling has collapsed in laundry room before. People are coming here to die. FIX IT!
Over 9 years of stagnant water and unlocked pool at Sassafras Hills apartment complex.
