Referring once more to "Resolved" cases # 209810 and 214721. This is not garden furniture. This is trash. Has been there since April and Ms. Stong has issued a NOV. Was clearly not enforced.
Primary Violations: Unpermitted Structural Modifications (Title 17), Severe Structural Moisture Failure & Biological Infestation (Title 16), Willful Falsification of Material Inspection Data, and Deliberate Non-Responsive Regulatory Evasion. 1. Unpermitted and Uninspected Structural Construction & Adoptive Admission (Title 17 Violation) • Incident: Management executed a major structural alteration within the dwelling unit by completely cutting out and replacing the bathroom subfloor structure. • Evidence of Non-Compliance: The tenant was physically present for the entirety of the 90-to-120-minute construction window. This brief timeframe is physically insufficient to allow structural adhesives to cure, waterlogged framing to dry, or mandatory industrial fungicide treatments to be applied to the remaining structural elements underneath. No city building official ever conducted the mandatory rough-in inspection before the structural elements were permanently sealed. • Repeated Failure to Disclose & Adoptive Admission: The tenant has formally demanded the mandatory municipal building permit numbers and city inspection sign-off documentation from management multiple separate times in writing. Management has continuously stonewalled and refused to supply this information, stating formally in writing that they merely "noted" the request and have "no additional information to provide." Because management handles this structural data and refuses to provide it after multiple direct opportunities, their ongoing evasion constitutes a clear adoptive admission that no municipal building permit exists and that the structural work was executed completely outside the law. 2. Physical Evidence of Structural Rot & Gnat Breeding Sources (Title 16 Violation) • Pre-Repair Structural Rot: The tenant retains photographic evidence from when the subfloor was exposed, documenting extensive water damage and advanced dry rot where the structural wood had turned entirely black with a physical hole rusted through the substrate. • The Wall Breach: Due to ongoing structural shifting and unmitigated moisture, a distinct physical gap has opened between the bathroom floor and the wall. • Insect Trapping Data: The tenant placed an electronic light trap inside the bathroom. The trap has captured an extreme infestation with over 100 fungus gnats documented on a single trap inside the room. Management’s contracted pest control professional evaluated the unit, confirmed the apartment was clean, explicitly ruled out drain flies/fruit flies, and stated verbatim: "If it's structural, there's nothing I can do about it," before departing without treating. • Crawlspace Metrics: On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, management’s own inspection captured photographic evidence of an active moisture meter reading of 16.2% "HIGH" with a red visual alarm activated, directly alongside visible puddles and pools of standing water on top of the structural wood in the crawlspace directly beneath this bathroom. 3. Documentation of Management Evasion & Fraudulent Misrepresentation • Blatant Data Falsification: In the exact email thread attaching the photograph of the flashing red 16.2% "HIGH" moisture meter and pools of water, the property manager explicitly typed a fraudulent statement claiming "no other conditions identified." Management is actively misrepresenting their own technical data to evade housing codes and structural remediation. • Biologically Illiterate Deflections: Despite the fact that a 16.2% moisture level is the exact scientific threshold where wood-decay fungi germinate and breed fungus gnats, management continuously demands to apply an over-the-counter drain gel. Fungus gnats do not live inside drains, making this a completely useless, bad-faith cop-out to shift blame away from the structural failure. • Current Posture: On Thursday, October 15, 2026, management scheduled a plumber for October 21st while explicitly refusing to address the permit omissions or moisture data. The tenant has issued a formal notice accepting entry for the pipe leak strictly on the condition that they do not use the visit to alter, seal, or cover the structural evidence before a city inspector can evaluate it. Requested Administrative Actions: 1. Immediate On-Site Inspection: Request that a HAND housing code official conduct an immediate physical inspection of the bathroom subfloor warping, the wall-to-floor separation breach, and the underlying crawlspace puddles. 2. Structural Permit Audit: Initiate a formal municipal audit into the property’s history under Title 17 to verify the total lack of building permits for the subfloor replacement. 3. Stop-Closure Order: Issue a formal directive to management prohibiting their plumbing contractor from sealing, closing up, or covering the bathroom wall or subfloor elements during the October 21st visit, preserving the evidence of wet wood rot and structural shifting for city verification.
This is just an absolute cluster of problems. I feel afraid every time I have to drive there. There have been upwards of 7 new multi unit houses built there which has increased the density. Parking along the already extremely narrow street is erratic - often parked cars stick out enough that two cars cannot pass each other safely. Garbage cans from the new builds are left in the street making it even more congested. And now, there is a bus route including a bus stop right in the middle of it all. A bus and a car can’t use the road at the same time. This is all adjacent to a busy walking path coming up from campus near the student services building, where people are attempting to cross Jefferson into the Green Acres neighborhood without any crosswalk or signage for drivers to look out (and right next to a large tree that blocks being able to see them until they are in the street). There is a blind hill on Jefferson, right at the point where they are building yet another unit and often have the street further congested/blocked. There are multiple problems here and I have to hold my breath every day I use it. That poor bus driver. It is so many accidents waiting to happen. At the very least, it should be made to have parking on only one side to leave room for traffic. Thanks.
There is significant overgrowth including bamboo at the property behind my house at 1713 E Thornton which has overgrown into my hand and damaged my fence. We have cleared what has come into our yard and would like the responsible to clear the area.
Several trash bags and loose trash piled up between secured dumpster and toters in alley way
Dumpster by garage 1 and dumpster to the side of building 568 are overflowing. Trash, furniture and all kinds of debris. The areas have been bad for at least 3 days. 540 S. Basswood is address for manager's office.
Neighbors have not put their trash and recycling cans behind their house for this entire semester, and now there is loose trash all over their yard and the street from not securing trash bags appropriately. We have been very patient with this situation, but it is a health hazard now with loose trash everywhere and animals in the neighborhood.
Hello HAND / Neighborhood Compliance, I filed uReport ticket #[TICKET] today (Trash category) about 514 E Graham Pl, Bloomington, IN 47401. I am the owner of the neighboring unit, 512 E Graham Pl, together with Yan Wang. I am sending the photos by email because the uReport form only takes one image. Summary: household garbage is regularly left in bags on the ground outside the front entrance of 514 for days at a time, not in closed containers. Animals have torn into the bags on several occasions and scattered garbage across the front of both 514 and 512, and the smell carries onto my property. This has been recurring since at least late September. The Timber Ridge HOA manager, Mackie Properties, was notified in writing on September 30 and again on October 6 and has not responded. Attached are six dated photos: three taken on or before September 30, one on October 7 at 8:35 am, and two on October 8 (8:35 am, showing animals had been through the trash, and 10:35 pm). Two short videos from September are available if useful. I am asking for a Neighborhood Compliance inspection and a Notice of Violation to the owner and occupants of 514 E Graham Pl requiring the garbage to be removed and kept in closed containers until collection day. Please keep my contact information for follow-up and let me know the case number and the officer assigned. Thank you, Wenchang Zhang Owner, 512 E Graham Pl (with Yan Wang) [email protected]
