I am writing to report a severe municipal code violation involving excessive environmental growth and hidden accumulation of trash/debris on W. Rappel Ave.The overgrowth along this street has become unmanageable, encroaching upon the roadway and completely taking up roughly one-quarter (25%) of the usable street width. Hidden beneath this thick overgrowth is a substantial accumulation of trash and debris.Because W. Rappel Ave is narrow, this combination creates an immediate and severe public safety hazard:Vehicle Accident Risk: The severe reduction in roadway width forces oncoming vehicles into the center of the street, drastically increasing the risk of head-on collisions.Blind Spots & Physical Damage: Drivers must actively swerve to avoid the overgrowth, or risk vehicle damage from hidden debris and heavy branches.Pedestrian & Environmental Hazard: The hidden trash accumulation acts as a breeding ground for pests and presents a sanitation concern directly adjacent to active commercial businesses.The private developer who retains ownership of this roadway parcel has been explicitly contacted and requested to clear the hazards, but they have refused to comply or take action.As a property and business owner paying City of Bloomington property taxes, I am formally requesting that the Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) Department dispatch a Compliance Officer to inspect this parcel, issue a formal Notice of Violation to the deed-holding developer, and enforce the necessary clearing and cleanup of this right-of-way.

This is my second attempt to report an issue with uncut grass. The side yard of 944 N Jackson St is very high, and is disruptive, and causing mosquitoes a place to nest. The side yard faces 17th st.

Sidewalk and stairs coming up the hill from the goat farm on the South side of Winslow road is frequently overgrown and hard to walk on. The brush between the street and sidewalk needs to be extensively cleaned out and frequently gets like this. Could you please clean it up and figure out a long term fix going forward? This is a critical walkway to the park and school for multiple neighborhoods. Thanks!

Request for Zoning and Code Compliance Review – @tinygaragebloom Pop-Up : I am writing to request that the city monitor and review the operations of a recurring pop-up music venue publicized via Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tinygaragebloom/.The venue operates out of a residential neighborhood, hosts public live music events, and charges an entry fee. This raises several municipal and state compliance concerns that I would like the city to address proactively with the operators: Zoning Use: The operation of a commercial, ticketed entertainment venue appears to conflict with residential zoning designations and the strict limitations placed on Home Occupations under the Bloomington UDO. State Fire Safety: Under Indiana Code § 22-14-3, public entertainment events that charge admission require a state Amusement and Entertainment Permit, which generally cannot be issued for Class 2 residential structures due to life-safety codes. Neighborhood Impacts: Recurring assemblies of this scale present consistent risks regarding the 24/7 noise ordinance (BMC Chapter 14.09) and residential occupancy limits. Please consider investigating this location and working constructively with the venue operators to guide them toward compliant business practices, or to help them transition their events to properly zoned commercial spaces.
