I have been trying to pay water bill online for quite some time today and every time I do it says runtime error. This has occurred on two laptops and a cellphone, wifi and cellular data. I will check again tomorrow but I wanted to bring this issue to someone's attention. Thank you.

Hi there! My name is Melanie Nelson, I work in environmental services for Daly City. Our department is putting together a workshop on water conservation in the home as part of our "Going Green" series. We see it as a great way to protect the environment while also educating the community and saving them money, it's a win-win-win situation! Your page, http://bloomington.in.gov/waterwise , has been awesome as a guide for the event planning committee, and we can't thank you enough for posting it! The reason I'm emailing you is because a local middle school class has been helping us with the endeavor as a volunteer project and they (very proudly, I might add) found a great article here: http://www.improvenet.com/a/water-conservation-at-home . The article is a basic overview for children on water conservation in the home and its benefits, with links to several great sources for both children and adults. I think the kids would be absolutely stoked if you were to post a link to the article on your page, they love to help out wherever they can, and seeing the link on your page would show them that they've made a difference and their actions have had an impact (however small). Please let me know if this is a possibility and I look forward to hearing back from you soon! Thanks again! -Melanie

Despite the BHA making multiple efforts to ask the resident in 918 to stop allowing multiple guests to chainsmoke cigarettes and other "combustible materials" given that this is a non-smoking building, I have a documented medical issue, and the presence of oxygen tanks, the resident in 918 continues to allow guests to smoke. The office offered to transfer me to a different unit, but upon receiving the key after signing the lease, the unit had serious water damage and heavy mold. I am not able to move into the new unit until those issues are addressed. Resident in 918 continues to allow smoking day and night, high foot traffic, and sits with his door open all day waiting for me to come and go so he can make comments to try to get a reaction out of me in retaliation for the previous report. This is a follow-up to that previous report. Thank you.b

After reporting several urgent issues to maintenance Tenant was under the impression that his until would be inspected during the 3 day code inspection dates stated by management however no repairs have been made. Maintenance entered but never returned. For over a year I have reported my toilet and shower bubbling up waste that spills over into closet and connecting rooms. I have also reported several times that my light switches electrocuted my son and that several electronics have been short circuited due likely to unstable flowing electricity caused by water damage in the walls. This also has caused my lights to surge and my over range to fluctuate in temperature. My home floods multiple times a week which has caused the carpet to mildew and mold. Living with these issues have caused respiratory infections for myself and kids.

I am writing as a concerned citizen who frequently drives by a property with multiple mobile homes in severe disrepair. Based on what I’ve seen and a report previously submitted to Bloomington’s UReport system, the conditions of at least one of these trailers are unlivable and pose serious health and safety risks. Most recently, I noticed that the roof of the trailer facing Madison Street has caved in, making it completely uninhabitable. This is in addition to the already hazardous conditions, which include: Lack of Basic Utilities: The trailer has no running water or gas for heating and cooking, making it unsafe, especially in extreme weather. Severe Structural Damage: Floors are dangerously weak, with one section in the bathroom completely collapsed and covered only by a board. The bathtub is resting on bricks, which is unsafe. Unsanitary Conditions: The resident has been forced to confine himself to a single room for warmth, using blankets to block off parts of the trailer. There is also ongoing animal waste inside the home, creating a serious health hazard. Fire and Safety Risks: Makeshift heating methods and extreme clutter increase the risk of fire, endangering not just the resident but also the surrounding community. According to the UReport complaint, the property owner is the resident’s wife, though she does not live there. She has publicly acknowledged these unsafe conditions but has failed to take responsibility for cleaning up the property or ensuring it meets basic health and safety standards. As the legal property owner, she is ultimately responsible for the upkeep of the land and any structures on it, including ensuring they meet health and safety codes. These conditions appear to violate multiple housing and health codes, including: Indiana Code Title 16, Article 41, Chapter 27, which requires property owners to maintain safe and habitable conditions for any mobile homes on their land. (Link) 410 Indiana Administrative Code 6-6, which holds property owners responsible for maintaining safe, sanitary conditions in mobile home communities. (Link) Bloomington’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), Title 20, which governs the safety and upkeep of structures on private property within the city, including mobile homes. I am not a legal or city expert, but based on my understanding, these regulations seem to apply to this situation, and I trust the city will review and enforce the appropriate codes. The property owner should be held accountable for the cleanup and remediation of these unsafe conditions. Additionally, I believe the resident may require urgent assistance, and I hope the city can connect him with available resources to address his health and safety concerns. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Concerned Citizen]

I want to start off by saying this property is in my name, the mobile homes are not but anyway. My husband is living in these conditions and I have concerns for his health as he is very depressed and a diabetic and does not take care of himself very well. The mobile home has no running water in the home nor does he have gas in the home for the heat and stove. The floors are very week in several spots, the bathroom floor has fell through and has a board over the top of a whole and in the rest of the mobile home the floor is so nasty, you have to wear shoes to walk on in there. The tub is sitting on bricks, he has blankets hung up at the front of the hallway to block of the rest of the mobile home so he can contain the heat in the living room where he stays, you can barely walk in there because of everything being in that one room. During the winter time, he puts a blanket up right as you walk in the door again to block the living room off from the kitchen to contain the heat. He has a dog that urinates in the home when he is not there and in the middle of the night. I mean the mobile home is in really bad shape and to me should be condemned.

The entire place appears to be a fire hazard. Evidence of structural fire damage that may also impact the electrical and plumbing concerns. Overgrowth vegetation and weeds.
