uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Duplicate #160142

Excessive Growth:

Other: 803 S. Larkspur Lane (the map on ureport is not working) Lawn has been over 8 inches for more than a week. City employees have presumably been by because it has been reported before, but for some reason it has been marked as "Not valid." As the picture shows, it is clearly well over 8 inches; the Bloomington code limit for lawns/weeds. If this is so apparent, why is this property not being cited? In case the wrong address is being visited, 803 S. Larkspur Ln is on the east side of Larkspur at the very north dead end of the lane. It's another rental from Jeff Jones (Pendragon). This neighborhood has to constantly deal with these horrible properties and this horrible business. Please help us keep this neighborhood kept up to a decent standard.

Most tickets of this type should be closed within 9 days, although some cases may be longer. 0 days have already passed.

https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=160142 Opened by Anonymous Dear Constituent: Thank you for submitting information to us via uReport. We value your input and hope that we will be able to address your questions and concerns. HAND neighborhood compliance officers will inspect the property and determine if the weeds, grass or plants are in violation of the Bloomington Municipal Code 6.06.070 (a). In the event of a violation, the neighborhood compliance officer will issue a Notice of Violation (NOV) to the property owners via first class mail and by placing a copy of the notice of violation on the property. The original Notice of Violation may be a warning or may include fines with a graduated scale from $50.00 - $150.00, and will be issued in accordance with Bloomington Municipal Code 6.06.070 (a). If the property is a rental property and it is the tenants' responsibility to maintain the lawn, the landlord must provide a copy of the signed lease to HAND during the initial seven days following the issuance of the NOV, otherwise the Landlord will remain responsible for paying the fine. After the Notice of Violation is issued, the property owner and/or tenant has seven (7) days to bring the property into compliance. If the property is not brought into compliance within the initial seven (7) days, the inspector may go to daily tickets. Please be mindful of this process while we work with your neighbors to resolve this issue. Thank you, HAND staff
