Home is on double lot, was in tough shape inside and out; took two years to sell due to condition (initial asking 450,000 sold at 170,600) but finally sold a few months ago. Seller moved out; Neighbors have no info on who bought it but assume investors who will tear down to build 2 new homes. We are writing on behalf of all surrounding neighbors. City did arrange for lawn to finally be mowed (thank you!) but there are other more serious issues: 1. A backyard in ground pool no longer has required fencing in yard and pool cover has come off, water is green/moldy. No fencing hazard for wandering children playing, animals but we are concerned about mosquitoes, etc. 2. All sorts of large pieces of siding are flapping all day long in the wind. In storms the sound can be heard houses away and we all are waiting for the day they rip off and come flying down! 3. A fox family has nested in home - literally underneath 1010 from several entries all around (may be inside?) There are five in total (mom with 4 kits - all now full size) They play around pool area and romp in yard which is lovely to watch but now when it means they are leaving rabbit, bird, animal carcasses all over this property and in our yards. Wildlife told us that any neighbor can pay for trapping them as they won't move them. Seriously - all of us?! Fox family are now going after neighborhood cats, and having growling matches with dogs being walked, especially in the evening. Again, they are absolutely beautiful to watch but not the right habitat. Our daily lives are affected by their habitat next door. No owner name to contact for any of us to ask them to clean up carcasses which also now cause more insect issues - ticks, fleas, mosquito, flies in addition to moldy pool water. Some of us have started piling carcasses up in one place on property. The irony here is that the original owner was Bruce Jennings ... who worked in HAND Dept. for many years before passing away. :-( Thanks for anything you can do. Suggestion to add: New owners would be smart to reach out to all on the street to introduce themselves and help us learn more about their plans. We have lived here forty years; this block is a tight knit, close group of caring neighbors who are reasonable and look forward to new plans for 1010! Thank you. (we have a lot of photos if that is helpful but the narrative seems to sum it up)

Abundance of stray cats. They are feed outside. All day and night. Upwards of 12 at a time. This is beyond out of control. Is there not a limit on the number of "pets" someone can have in the street before its a nuisance?

Hello, I do not live in the town of Bloomington Indiana but I have become aware of a man who I think lives in this town named William j. clark now I will not get into specifics because it is absolutely discusting but he has become an infamous "Furry content creator" on the internet for many reasons but one of the reasons that is distressing is that he is raping his animals I'm sure you guys know about this but I am just very concerned with the state of his animals. Thank you

Hi, Every year our block has 1-3 fawns born and the mother deer are protective for about 3 weeks, and especially aggressive towards dogs. At the very end of the birth cycle last spring 2024, the city put a couple signs up to warn the dog walkers off our block. That would be wonderful to have again this year - our first 2025 fawn must’ve been born today in the backyard of mine (808) or my neighbor’s (810) backyard on S Fess. If we could please have 2 signs for the next month or so to post out front at the ends of the block, that would be very helpful. Some folks know the drill and move back quickly and others take less effective approaches that endanger themselves and their dogs. Thanks! MaryAnn

I would like to report one of my roommates for animal neglect. She has two cats (one of whom seems to have lung issues as she sporadically excessively coughs), and she keeps both of them in a small bedroom 24/7. She also consistently (almost daily) smokes in the room with the door closed, leaving a fragrant stench in the surrounding hallway and area. The cats often meow at the door and put their paws under. She is not hitting them or not feeding them (though I have had to feed them in the past due to her being gone for days and then having none — she also uses only one small food bowl for both cats). I live at 520 W Hoosier Court Ave. The roommate's name is Aydryan Vanderbur (spelling of last name may be slightly off). I am unsure if you guys can do anything about this or if there is a better way to go about it, but it is heartbreaking to live with. We do not get along due to this issue, so I do not let them out when she isn't home due to not wanting to exacerbate our living situation. She also is consistently gone from the home, and she does not keep her blinds for the 1 window in the room open. I feel very sad and concerned for the cats and am really hoping to get them cared for in some way. She will be moving out of 520 by July 31, 2025.

There are multiple cats in the neighborhood. 2 orange cats, one quite large with a collar, one without a collar that regularly sprays and urinates on property. The one that sprays seems aggressive. One of the cats is defecating in flower beds. As of this week, there is also a black cat closer to intersection of Round Hill Lane and Spicewood Lane. The siamese cat belongs to neighbors and is known, but the other 3 cats are new. The orange ones are a disturbance, coming near homes and making a mess, trying to get in garages, and are a danger.
