Planning staff observed a fence taller than 4 feet forward of the front building wall on the property. We will issue a Notice of Violation (NOV) Warning letter to the property, with the City's fencing standards, and an inquiry for more information on exact fence heights at the property. Please note, 6 feet is not the height limit set in City code. Please see Bloomington Municipal Code Section 20.04.080(n) for the City's regulations on fences and walls. https://library.municode.com/in/bloomington/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT20UNDEOR_CH20.04DESTIN_20.04.080LABUFE

This appears to be a reported corner lot with a new fence installed. Staff can take a look as available to see if there is a code violation that can be addressed via our NOV processed outlined in Title 20/Bloomington Municipal Code.

Jennifer, I think this is a Planning issue. It is not a rental complaint. Please send it back if it is not your department.
