Caller to HAND lives at 120 W Pinewood Dr. wants to file complaint against his neighbors living across the street for grass not mowed. Said last year it was never mowed.
Overgrown yard with no maintenance. Overgrowth is causing several types of damage to fences surrounding properties and bug problems like ticks and mosquitoes to affect the area
Tree-of-heaven that was alongside house has been cut, but there remains tree-of-heaven and poison ivy growing right by the sidewalk out of the side of the soon-to-collapse retaining wall, right where passersby can brush up against it.
Grass is a foot high and has not been cut since last year. This is a rental that is for sale. Please make sure the landlord/owners are notified, as the tenants are not responsible for mowing and should not be penalized.
At the intersection of the alleys in the middle of the block bordered by Cottage Grove, 11th, Indiana, and Fess Streets, there is a large overgrowth (looks to be primarily bush honeysuckle) that has become so large that it is blocking about a third of the N/S alley that extends north from Hillcrest Apartments. This is not a major thoroughfare, but it does get vehicular traffic. The address "708 N. Indiana" came up when the location was clicked, but that is not right. It is probably IU property that is connected to the Hillcrest parking lot north of Cottage Grove.
Alley between Washington and Lincoln off of First Street is totally overgrown, making it almost impossible to go from First to Wylie this way. My 90 year old parents live at First and Washington and we use this alley!
The house at 800 S. Fess Ave. has the most overgrown backyard in the area. 5 foot tall weeds, scrap lumber, stacks of rocks and junk are in this yard, visible from the alley between Henderson and Fess off of First Street.
The sidewalks on South High Street are being obstructed by low-hanging tree branches. These branches hang 3-5 feet above the sidewalks and may be hazardous to walkers and runners. They demand constant ducking and dodging, perhaps even into the street in some cases. The leaves conceal hard branches beneath them, and I have seen several walkers and runners hit their heads.
2611 Round Hill Lane, Bloomington. I understand the City cannot do anything about the overgrown lawn at this address because of the litigation the home owner has filed. But could you at least remove the dead trees and/or limbs that are blocking the sidewalk and could potentially fall on my car? I would think city code 12.24.040 would cover this problem. Additionally, the property owner cut tree limbs from his roof line, left them to drop in a pile so that if the dry conditions return we have a neighborhood fire hazard. I am so far beyond frustrated with this sitution. The property owner is getting a free ride in the litigation with the city, while our neighborhood would have to raise thousands to hire a lawyer and take this unreasonable man to court. I like being able to submit my complaint, but wish I could review my comments, but this web page won't let me scroll back. Please contact me if you have any questions.
