This residence has excessive items in their back and side yards visible from the Clear Creek Trail. Stacks of tires and lots of miscellaneous items that one would find in a junk yard. It has been this way for at least nearly two years. Could they please be given a notice requiring them to clean up their yard?
715 West Dixie Street. Property is so overgrown you cant even see the house
I inherited the home next door which is 5916 South Phyllis St Bloomington IN 47403. I am trying to sell the property but the Realtors have indicated that the condition of the neighbor’s yard next door 5918 is severely devaluating all the homes on the street. There are trucks and junk and weeds in the yard. Other neighbors keep up their yards. Thank you for helping us with this situation.We have already contacted the Monroe Ordinance violation office and they recommended we also contact your office.
Property needs to be mowed
Lawn hasn't been mowed since sometime last year. In the back there's even a fallen tree that was never cleaned up. No leaf cleanup has been done for well over a year, so leaves blow onto other neighbors' lawns. A brush pile in the front by oak tree obstructs view from driveways. Poison ivy in multiple spots, which now appears in neighbors' yards. Also, have seen snakes and they also appear in neighbors' yards. Additionally, more ticks seem to be around than in years past. Many of us in the neighborhood have children and grandchildren, so this is disturbing, as well as being an eyesore and potentially negatively impacting home sale prices. Thank you.
Duke Energy finished cleaning the vegetation in the utility easement located on 5th street, now the homeowner needs to remove all of the invasive species: Asian bush honeysuckle, privet, winter weed and white mulberry to name a few. This is in the back of the property facing 5th and is past the utility easement.
Multiple (maybe 8) very large trees of heaven growing along alley on east end of lot. Might be on City property, hard to tell. Trees are 2-3 feet in diameter. These trees are annually a source of many small invasive trees of heaven on nearby properties.
Trees of heaven growing in front yard.
There is a large bush at the front of this property which is growing over and obstructing the sidewalk on 10th street.
Re: After being denied a solution, I would like to clarify that this is CITY property. I do not understand how and why I should “contact the county regarding this” because the City of Bloomington owns this property. As an employee am I supposed to contact the County regarding issues at my workplace? No! That’s why I’m filling out this report. There is an invasive species on the CITY OF BLOOMINGTON’s property of which they have vowed to remove in recent initiatives. This is the responsibility of the city, not the county. I feel like you didn’t even actually read what I wrote and just looked at the address and said “NOPE! Not my responsibility” Bradford Pears (invasive species) located at Monroe Water Treatment Plant. The two trees are located at the discharge point of a surface drain. More importantly, the trees are located directly adjacent to the Hoosier National Forest, which is just a mere 50ft away (across Shady Side Dr). Currently, the trees are bearing fruit. It appears that these fruits' seeds have the opportunity to traverse the slope and end up in our watershed, tainting the Hoosier National Forest, as an invasive species. The trees should be removed ASAP, as part of the City's initiative to systematically remove Bradford Pear trees from public property. Given the proximity to the National Forest and in the confines of the Lake Monroe watershed, this is a priority site.
