Requesting an immediate safety and egress inspection by the Fire Prevention Bureau for the residential structure at 530 S Washington St. Primary safety violations visible from the public right-of-way: Complete Egress & Primary Exit Obstruction The front entrance, porch, and primary walkway are physically obstructed floor-to-ceiling by severe accumulation of discarded materials. Occupants have no usable primary escape route in an emergency, violating clear-pathway egress standards (International Fire Code Section 1031). Extreme Combustible Fuel Load & Radiant Heat Exposure Risk The exterior and interior exhibit an unusually high density of combustible materials (paper, wood, plastics, and dense trash). Because this structure sits within 5 feet of an adjacent occupied home, this extreme fuel load creates a severe radiant heat exposure risk, accelerating potential fire spread and flashover to nearby structures. First Responder Trap Hazard Blocked doorways, obstructed windows, and heavy fuel loading present an immediate trap hazard for occupants and severely compromise rapid entry and search-and-rescue operations for responding firefighters. Requested Action: Conduct an exterior safety inspection under Indiana Code § 36-8-17 (Fire Prevention) and Indiana Code § 36-7-9 (Unsafe Building Law), and issue an official order to abate the egress and fuel-load hazards.

My neighbor has repeatedly used a charcoal grill that lets up smoke and fills my apartment with that and a burning smell since I moved in (in addition to aggressive behavior in response to my asthma-induced throat clearing and coughing). He is doing so now and smoke is clogging up my deck. I’m not sure if anything can be done. I’ve reported the issue to Steeplechase Management but it seems he hasn’t stopped so not sure how/if it was handled. They aren’t answering their after-hours line. I think it’s against fire code, at least.

uReport Case #210299 Attn: Jeff Yutmeyer I want to re-open this case because when I went to the rear of my yard this afternoon, I saw that Xfinity/Comcast, cut the cable from my house and let it drop into the thorn bushes. This presents more of a fire hazard because there is a layer of dry leaves on the ground; the cable is still attached to the electrical pole. Xfinity should be fined for doing work such as this ... what were they thinking? Please re-open this case - thank you. Elida C. Behar Wednesday, May 6, 2026

New Ticket # is ECM0021477184 This message is for Jeff Yutmeyer about my ongoing issue with the cable touching my garage roof. No one from Xfinity/Comcast has contacted me either by email, text message, or phone. Jeff, we spoke on Wed, April 29th - you called me. The cable is still touching my garage roof. I feel uncomfortable with this situation due to the amount & severity of the Bloomington storms this Spring. Here are the last uReport details: "History 4/29/2026 12:02:29 Jeff Yutmeyer contacted Jeff Yutmeyer I spoke to Elida C. Behar today to let her know Xfinity should be reaching out to her. She asked me to keep this case open until the cable is removed. Sent notification to Jeff Yutmeyer, Anonymous 4/28/2026 12:06:27 Jeff Yutmeyer commented on this case. I called Xfinity they will be emailing Elida Behar about this and making arrangements to raise or remove the wire. The New Ticket # is ECM0021477184.

U Report # 210060 Hi again, I'm following up from yesterday's U Report. Duke responded immediately with the information that the wire is a cable line. Duke recommended that I get back to my local Bloomington government because since I've owned this house I have never had cable service, therefore I do not know whose line it belongs to. Do you have any record as to who owns/is responsible for this abandoned cable line? And is there a statute of limitations for an abandoned line - can I cut it down myself? What is the risk of danger if I do so? Any insight that you can provide is appreciated. Sincerely, Elida C. Behar April 22, 2026

I was walking in this neighborhood Friday evening around 7:30 - and looking at this map - seems to be 2015 E Marilyn Drive - and smelled smoke - the backyard is not visible on Marilyn but while I continued my walk on S Covenanter Drive I had a view of the open fire - I noticed that this appeared to be a recreational fire - but was not in an approved device - such as a fire pit - and it did not appear that there was a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby.
