Please put up a sign to prevent left turn from third to Union during busy times. Much better for flow.
Segment of sidewalk on east side of Sare Road between E Winston St and E Moores Pike is extremely is difficult to walk due to vegetation growing on and through fence. Walkers/runners/cyclists are forced to walk/run/ride on grass.
Pace bike knocked over. 507 s. Fess Ave
Car parked on front lawn of 504 E Hillside is partially obstructing sidewalk
504 W Dixie St, Bloomington. House has not been lived in for over a decade. Two abandoned vehicles in back yard are being used as shelter for a person who is apparently unhoused and unrelated to deceased owner and her family. The site is a mess with belongings strewn over the entire yard. It is unclear how human waste is being dealt with. Within the last week, curtains have been hung around the front porch to inhibit view to front door. I believe the unhoused person or person have gained unauthorized access to the house through this or the back door, because a window along the east alley side that has been covered with blind and curtain for over a decade now has the curtain pulled back. One can also see through the east vent into the attic that there is a hole in the attic roof, making it accessible to animals. This situation has become untenable, and a hazard for sanitation as well as the perceived safety of me and other neighbors.
Email says: "property is violating 20.05.052 (a) (1) regarding the placement of landscape materials in the right-of-way"
Not sure which category this belongs under. Recently, Brawley (of course) tore out the little deck on the front of this building and then replaced it with a huge deck that completely covers the front yard all the way to the sidewalk. Attached is a picture what it used to look like. It looked junky, but the new one looks like something a restaurant along 4th Street would have for customers to sit outside and eat in. Is it even legal for them to do this in a residential area? Did they get a permit to do this?
See case #205800. Deck was rebuilt and now it is in violation of setbacks. Your site only allows one picture to be uploaded. Attached is what the deck looked like before. You can drive by and see what is looks like now. When they rebuilt it they extended it almost all the way to the sidewalk, and lately it has been covered with a tent and the tenants use it to party outside in full view of everyone. This is ridiculous, but it is Brawley so it is not unexpected...
Brawley management has put up "For Rent" signs in the ROWs at multiple locations in the neighborhood along Washington and Lincoln and between 8th and 10th Streets, and likely at other locations around the city. Please remind them to periodically reread the City Code - hopefully, they will eventually learn to be less self-serving and dismissive of the neighbors.
