I was unlocking my condo door with my wife and dog. Our neighbor in the adjacent unit, 3366 S Oaklawn Circle, Bloomington, IN 47401, opened their door and their dog came running out on a leash. We didn't hear their door open and we didn't know that their dog was sprinting towards us, and I realized it was right there when it hit the landscaping bush and was growling. It lunged at our dog trying to bite it, even though our dog was surprised by it to and didn't even know it was there until the last second. Fortunately, our neighbor's leash was just short enough to pull back the dog quickly, and we scurried inside. There was no verbal warning from our neighbor. Our neighbors have too medium sized black dogs, and this was one of them. In the past, when I've been outside when the dogs have been out the dogs have barked and pulled trying to get to me and my dog, but I'd not witnessed one of them try to bite us before. I'm reporting this incident since my wife and I should be safe from being bitten by a dog on our front door step.
Notice the wet sidewalk. The moisture is not rain; it drains out of the retaining wall. In winter it freezes and is dangerous for pedestrians i know that it is against code for a downspout to drain directly onto a sidewalk. This is different, but the danger is the same.
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.
The curbs on both sides of this alley are too large to be wheelchair accessible
