City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #213444

Excessive Growth:

Other: This is my 3rd report on this property. Seems like they won’t cut their grass unless the city makes them and after the last notice they did a very poor job. Grass is blocking road visibility for residents turning out of the Winslow frontage road. This is a danger to cars turning and on the road, pedestrians, bike riders and kids waiting on the school bus as this is a bus stop that sits on top of a blind hill. This house is an air bnb rental so you would think their property would have enough income to keep their grass cut. Residents should not have to complain every time their grass is long and I think this now calls for a more preventative fine.

https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=213444 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
