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.

Drainage or Runoff
404 E 1st ST
- Case Date:
- 12/6/2024
Subject: Concern About Clogged Storm Drains on 1st Street
Dear Bloomington Town Official,
I am reaching out regarding an ongoing issue with leaves clogging the above-ground grated storm drains along 1st Street, between Henderson and Grant Streets. I previously reported this concern a few weeks ago, but the problem has reappeared due to the continued accumulation of leaves.
The situation seems to have worsened following Bloomington's policy change to no longer collect unbagged leaves. As a result, many residents are no longer raking, and the town has become noticeably untidy. These clogged drains pose a significant risk of flooding when it rains, creating potential hazards for our community.
I kindly ask for prompt attention to clear these drains and consider ways to address the broader issue of leaf accumulation to maintain the town’s cleanliness and prevent future drainage problems.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Our recycling bin has a partially broken handle/lid. Also, it's the largest size available, but we have recently had 1 family member die and another move, so we can move down a size if that's possible. Thanks.
