The property at 1413 W 11th St is unsafe and a detriment to the neighborhood. The owner has not been around since mid-July and the house is uninhabitable. There has been no work done on the house all summer. A window has been open this entire time. The yard is overgrown in front and back and there is a tremendous amount of trash in the back yard. The owner could not care less about his property. Please help!

Southern winds 'hotel'. Located at 3000 S. Walnut st. Excessive bed bugs. This is a serious health hazard that the landlord has been informed of, and done nothing about. I am a social worker and believe that the infestation is causing mental and physical trauma for the residents.

Maybe I need the dept. of health. The house at 810 S. Parkway Dr. has a garage full of trash. Animal control has a case on this woman and the hse. has been checked according to my neighbor by APS but the GARAGE is full of pure trash. I saw a mouse or rat run across the driveway last week which her cat was chasing. I bought my home across from her in April and NOT ONCE has this woman put trash out EVER. This is a fire and health problem. Thank you. If I had the technology, I would send you a picture. Please help if you can. Thank You.

I am writing this in regards to an elevator issue in which I was apart of at Smallwood Plaza. I am concerned about the safety hazard their elevators pose. On July 26, 2013 3:30 pm I had just come home from work at about 3:00 pm. I parked my car in the B1 garage of Smallwood so I could move my things back and forth easily. I went up to my apartment (the elevator seemed normal at this time), put my phone to charge, rested a bit, and then went back down to my car because I was moving. After packing my car, I went back to the elevator to go back upstairs to my apartment, on the 7th floor. I keyed my card to go up, the elevator started rising, and I heard a peculiar sound. The best way I can describe this sound is that it sounded like chains rubbing against each other. Then, the elevator shook and jolted. Luckily, I didn't get hurt, but I was forced to the other side of the elevator because of the jolt. I immediately pressed the emergency button as well as the alarm button. After waiting for 5 minutes with no response, having no phone because I had left it to charge, I started to panic and hyperventilate. I waited for 30 minutes alone in this elevator. I looked for the emergency phone in the box and was horrified to see that it wasn't there. I had pressed the emergency button for 30 minutes. I had looked up at the security camera thinking, "can't you see me?!" Thirty minutes later, a girl on the other side of the elevator said: "is anyone in there? I replied: "yes can you please open the elevator?!" "I can't it's not opening. I will go get help, ok?" I was thankful that someone had heard me. A couple of minutes later, a maintenance guy showed up. He opened the elevator with his hands, and gave me his hand so I could climb down because the elevator was stuck in between floors. It took a little more than a week to fix the elevator. After my incident, I first talked to someone in the City of Bloomington building and he said to talk to Smallwood first and then report back if nothing was resolved. I talked to the Smallwood office management. Their response to me was "It happens, it's normal." Appalled, I said, "Well, will you let me know what happened?" and she replied "what do you mean" and I said: "well, with the elevator..." and she said: "I can take your name and number and have my manager call you" Whitney, the woman I had this short conversation with, seemed to be completely dry and not concerned about this situation. I never heard from the manager or the office. I find this issue to be a huge safety hazard to the public. Please let me know what will be done about this situation. Thank you, Priscilla Massey
