Excessive Growth
535 S Walnut ST

Resident at 404 left a Couch discarded outside.
Large tree-of-heaven growing on NE corner of lot alongside the alley and Grant Street, though cited in City ROW. This tree sends out so many seed every year, that properties close by regularly fight new growth. Very easy to see this tree, but best to send a HAND member who has had formal training to identify tree-of-heaven, else it might be missed...
See case #201536 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201536). Apparently, Ms. Hayes has not had the opportunity to follow through with her promise, "I will continue to monitor", because the large, bed-like object remains at the rear (west side) of this property alongside the alley where is has been for at least a year. It has painted on it a cartoon head of a large, white rabbit sporting a bow-tie, accompanied by the words "Phi Tau".
bamboo from neighbor's yard growing wild; invasive into others' yards, particular ly in the back
Overgrown yard.. looks like property is abandoned Not sure if this is correct address.. house is at corner of Tamarack (entrance to Meadowood) and north Dunn.. on west side
My neighbors have had bags of garbage collecting on their front porch for weeks, and now it has been dumped in their front yard. I’m fairly certain there’s a pile of bags in the back too.
Residents at this location have not mowed their grass yet this Spring and it is definitely over the 8 inch length. It is unsightly and sticks out since every other household on the street keeps their grass trimmed.
There are several issues: 1) Cars and frequently parked jutting into the alleyway or the city right of way, which is a hazard to traffic and also partially blocks exit from our garage. 2) Somewhere between 5 and 10 different cars come and go on a regular basis, some of which stay overnight at different times. Thus, the backyard is sometimes stuffed with cars. It's not clear who lives here and what the nature of the living situation is. For example, is this a community that provides mental health services to young men? If so, is it appropriately registered with the city? There is too much traffic at this property to fit a typical family or group living situation. I think there needs to be a welfare check or a visit of some sort by the city. 3) There still is trash stuffed underneath a blue tarp, including half of a toilet.
