Multiple problems with the unit. Mold growth, the ceilings leak when it rains. No kickboard underneath one of my kitchen cabinets. No screens in windows. Rats. Upstairs bathroom, knob to turn off and on water sticks out like a mile long. Baseboard of wall upstairs coming off. Light switch in my boys room installed upsidedown. My boys window frame is installed completely wrong. You would just have to see it to understand. Floor is peeling up, that connects my living floor to my kitchen. Which mind you, I try and hide and cover, because they never installed a tack strip. Back door, at the bottom, is depleting. Like it looks like it's eating away at the bottom. I almost can't even put all in this complaint, that is wrong with unit. I would like to have a mold detector done on this unit, to prove that it's probably outrageous. My furnace in the closet was pretty much hand made, with a huge hole in the wall.

Requesting a Neighbor Compliance Officer to confirm there are only 3 unrelated adults living at this address, per recommendation by John Hewitt/ HAND. Owners of this property are Porter Lan, Zhen Li, and M. Brian. This request by me is due an unusual amount of cars parking on both sides of Eastside Drive in the northern half of the block since August 2024. Average daily amount of cars parked in this half block is 12.

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!

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 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 forward the infromation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Could you please ask the landlord at 402 E 1st Street to clean up the leaves in their front yard? Twice now, their leaves have blown onto my property at 404 E 1st Street. I had my yard cleaned before Thanksgiving and again today, December 14. As you can see from the photo, my property (on the left) is well-maintained, while 402 (on the right) is not. I would appreciate it if the landlord could take responsibility and maintain the property in a way that reflects good neighborly behavior. FYI: I do not have trees on my front or side yards. Thank you. Sincerely, Elida C. Behar 12/14/2024.

My apartment X32 has flooded 4x since April 2024, with the last time being on December 16, 2024. After the 3rd time it flooded on May 15, 2024, they informed me that a drain pipe was leaking directly into my apartment and placed a plastic pipe to extend the drainage. However, this was not a permanent fit and it flooded again. On December 17, 2024 I went into the leasing office and asked to relocated by the end of January. They stated they could not accommodate this and someone would reach out to me later in the week. No one did. I left a message on January 1st and they called me back on January 2nd. I informed my apartment that a mold test kit tested positive for mold in an air test of the bedroom as well as a swab test for under part of my living room and bedroom baseboards. I was informed mold was everywhere and in order to leave the unit I would have to find another tenant to sub lease it or pay 3 months rent for a buy out. I don't believe these conditions are safe for me in the long term and they are refusing to provide a permanent fix to the issue. Their current fix is to place another plastic drain pipe, which was only a fix from May to December.

717 S. park Ave. is being used as a short term rental. There is no valid occupancy permit since 2013 (see attached). No one has been in the house since football season, but during football season cars with license plates from various states were parked in the back during weekends when an IU home game was played.
