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.

Concern Regarding Unusual Activity and Property Conditions Next to My Business
Dear City Official,
Good Morning, I am reaching out to express my concern about some recent developments at the property located next to my business at 811 N Walnut St. Since new residents moved in, there has been a noticeable increase in unusual activity that is negatively impacting the appearance and environment around my business.
Specifically, the residents have been leaving trash overflowing into the alley, some of which is spilling over onto my property. This not only creates a messy and unsanitary environment but also makes a poor impression on my clients as they arrive at my business. Additionally, there are two cars at the property: one that does not appear to be running and another that is frequently being worked on. There are also cars frequently pulling up in the alley, where individuals from the house briefly interact with the vehicles before returning inside.
The overall condition of the property and the ongoing activity is concerning, and I would appreciate your assistance in addressing this issue. As a business owner, it is important to me that the surrounding environment reflects positively on the area, and I believe this situation is detracting from that.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.
