Trash and litter have been left across the property for the last three weeks. Trash is now blowing into neighbors’ yards.
There are trash cans blocking the full width of the sidewalk on Ballantine (west side), just north of Hunter. Pick up was Monday morning and it is Wednesday today.
Garbage constantly left outside allowing pests to get into. This attracts rodents and recently a coyote!
Subject: Complaint Regarding Property at 402 E 1st Street Dear Bloomington Town Department, I am writing to formally report an ongoing issue at the property located at 402 E 1st Street. Early this morning (December 6), while cleaning up trash that had blown into my yard, I noticed excessive garbage left in their backyard. The bags are torn open, and the mess has begun attracting animals; just last week, while I was traveling, several neighbors reported seeing a coyote in the area. This property, which I believe is a rental, has been a recurring source of disruption in our neighborhood. In addition to improper waste disposal, previous incidents have included: • Smoking cannabis openly in the backyard. • Loud parties continuing until 4:00 a.m. • Unauthorized backyard fires without proper safety measures like a firepit. • Failure to maintain the property, such as leaving fallen leaves uncollected. I kindly request the town to investigate these concerns and take appropriate action to address the situation, ensuring the safety and well-being of our community. If I must report my concerns to another department, please let me know. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

House appears unlocked and accessible to anyone with front glass storm door banging in the wind, back door to basement open many times. A variety of people occasionally enter. Multiple ways to enter house through missing windows etc… With cold weather pipes may have frozen. Tenants have been or are in process of being evicted but meanwhile trash remains that can act as projectiles in high wind damaging nearby people or properties, non functioning vehicle in driveway with open windows etc… Current condition of house is unsafe and unsightly and prevents other neighbors’ enjoyment of their properties and is dangerous in terms of possible illegal activities that could take place in what is for all purposes an abandoned property. Sarge Rentals manages property and is apparently trying to resolve situation over the past two months.
Trash pickup was Monday morning. It is now Wednesday and the sidewalk is blocked by two trash cans. They are on Ballantine Road north of Hunter.
Over the past year and a half I have asked HAND and Sarge Rentals to remove the garbage cans from the tree row of the 600 block of University St. HAND finally tild me they were fining the rooming house at 624 S Fess. That did not help. I asked Sarge Rentals to remove the Rumpke trash and recycling bins once they switched over to Avas. They did not. Now the Avas bins are in the tree row along with the Rumpke ones and another waste basket (see picture). When I moved here 30 years ago I went to a city meeting to complain about the trash at the rooming house. The problem was remedied by placing a dumpster in the alley behind the building. That was replaced by the Rumpke bins. None of the residents nor Sarge move the bins from the tree row after trash is taken. No other homes on University St behave in this manner. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS EYESORE!
