There is a hispanic male that does mechanic work all hours of the night, smoke everywhere, rev's the engine, major disturbance to the neighborhood. I live on washington st. and i can't sleep at night. This is not legal to do it all hours of the night.
See previous reported and closed #214590. The electronic metronome (or whatever they are using that is making a repetitive, loud clanking noise) that can be heard over half a mile away, and still disturbing even with windows and doors closed, must stop. It is disturbing the peace and comfort of many homes.
I am requesting the City’s review of a $200 “PPI IMPOUND INDIANA LIEN (notifications Fee)” charged by Tow Time Solutions LLC. Tow Time towed my 2022 Tesla Model 3 from the FlexePark lot at 299 E. 3th Street (Tow Time interestingly reports the Towed From address as 219 E. 4th Street) on October 4, 2026. I picked up the vehicle on October 6 and paid the $485 total shown on the attached receipt (Invoice #3146). The receipt lists $150 for towing, $50 for special equipment, $60 for storage, $25 for administration, and $200 for the lien-notification fee. I understand that my monthly parking agreement prohibited parking in that lot from 4:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Sundays, and I am not asking the City to review whether the tow itself was justified. My concern is whether the separate $200 fee is authorized for a non-consensual tow under Bloomington Municipal Code 4.32.130, which lists permitted towing and storage charges. Please also determine whether IC 9-22-6-2 or any other state law authorizes this separate $200 lien-notification fee in addition to the charges listed under BMC 4.32.130, and what records support the amount charged. I spoke with Tow Time in person, and we agreed that I would submit the fee question to the City through uReport. Please review whether this specific fee is permitted, advise me of the appropriate process to dispute it, and let me know whether the City can assist with resolving it.

There are more than the allowed number of adult occupants. They also consistently park a large truck directly in front of the stop sign, blocking visibility.
re: #214091, the phone is still ringing at all hours and clearly heard inside homes with windows and doors closed. Even during the day, this seems excessively loud, but esp after hours, why does the ring need to broadcast outside the premises?
I live nearby (across Walnut) in Broadview near Rogers St. The amplified metronome click used during band rehearsals (marching band? and/or during games) carries extremely loudly right into our home and creates a significant sensory disruption. Even with windows and doors closed, it is noticeable inside the house. We have had to stop leaving our windows open in the afternoons and evenings due to this nuisance sound. Is there any way the horn speaker could reduce its volume, or angled down toward the field or rotated away from the residential side of the stadium? Any small tweak to the speaker direction would make a massive difference for us neighbors.
Thank you for continuing to investigate this and for forwarding the truck traffic question to Engineering. I wanted to provide some additional information and also clarify a few questions. First, I am not entirely clear on how 2615 S. Kendall Drive relates to the FBM operation or to the semi-truck traffic I originally reported. Could Planning clarify what commercial use was found to be occurring on that residentially zoned parcel? Is that property being used by FBM for access, truck circulation, storage, staging, parking, or some other part of its operations? My concern about truck traffic is also not limited to S. Kendall Drive. Semi-trucks serving FBM continue to travel through the residential neighborhood, including Watson Street and Bryan Street. My broader concern is why semi-trucks serving this commercial facility are routinely entering and traveling through the residential neighborhood at all, rather than accessing the commercial property from Country Club Drive. For Engineering, I would appreciate clarification about whether semi-trucks serving this facility are permitted to routinely use Watson Street, Bryan Street, S. Kendall Drive, and other residential neighborhood streets as access routes. If there are currently no restrictions, does the City have the ability to establish an appropriate truck route or otherwise restrict commercial truck traffic through these residential streets? I also wanted to make Planning and Engineering aware of a significant change in ownership since the property's historic use was established. Lowe's Companies completed its $8.8 billion acquisition of Foundation Building Materials in October 2025. In announcing the acquisition, Lowe's specifically described plans to enhance its Pro business through expanded capabilities, faster fulfillment, improved digital tools, and cross-selling opportunities. I understand that a corporate acquisition alone may not necessarily require new local approvals. However, given the recent change in ownership, Lowe's stated goals for FBM, and Planning's discovery that part of the current operation has expanded onto a residentially zoned parcel, I think it is important to ask whether the nature or intensity of this location's operations has changed or may change enough to require additional City review. I am also unclear how substantially increased fulfillment, truck traffic, or other commercial activity could be accommodated at this particular location without further affecting the surrounding residential neighborhood. If operations at this facility increase, what zoning, site-plan, traffic, access, or development review would be required to determine whether this location and its existing access points can accommodate that activity? Here is Lowe's announcement regarding its acquisition of FBM: https://corporate.lowes.com/newsroom/press-releases/lowes-completes-acquisition-foundation-building-materials-10-09-25 Thank you again for looking into this. I appreciate Planning pursuing the Title 20 issue and Engineering investigating the truck traffic. I would especially appreciate clarification about how the Kendall property fits into FBM's operation and whether commercial semi-truck traffic through Watson, Bryan, Kendall, and the surrounding residential neighborhood is permitted.
The phone at Community Ford/Nissan/Jeep (I'm not sure from which building it comes) is connected to a loudspeaker and rings any time of day or night. It can be heard very clearly from my house in Broadview. It can be extremely annoying. This has been an issue for years. Surely there is a better method with the technology that we have today.

Request for Zoning and Code Compliance Review – @826_shows Pop-Up : I am writing to request that the city monitor and review the operations of a recurring pop-up music venue publicized via Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/826_shows/.The venue operates out of a residential neighborhood, hosts public live music events, and charges an entry fee. This raises several municipal and state compliance concerns that I would like the city to address proactively with the operators: Zoning Use: The operation of a commercial, ticketed entertainment venue appears to conflict with residential zoning designations and the strict limitations placed on Home Occupations under the Bloomington UDO. State Fire Safety: Under Indiana Code § 22-14-3, public entertainment events that charge admission require a state Amusement and Entertainment Permit, which generally cannot be issued for Class 2 residential structures due to life-safety codes. Neighborhood Impacts: Recurring assemblies of this scale present consistent risks regarding the 24/7 noise ordinance (BMC Chapter 14.09) and residential occupancy limits. Please consider investigating this location and working constructively with the venue operators to guide them toward compliant business practices, or to help them transition their events to properly zoned commercial spaces.
