I live across the street from Juannita's Mexican Restaurant, located at 620 W. Kirkwood Avenue. It is a residential neighborhood with several small businesses in the area. Since Juannita's opened in August 2013, they have routed music through an exterior speaker at a significant volume. I am able to hear this music clearly in my living room and bedroom, making it difficult for me to concentrate, relax, or at times even to sleep. I have called the restaurant staff on multiple occasions asking them to keep the music down. I have sent them a written request to the same effect. I have called the police on three occasions. I've seen no long term effect. It seems that the exterior speaker is unnecessary and in violation of Bloomington's noise ordinance, given its location in a mostly residential area. I need to be able to relax and concentrate in my own home, but at this time nothing I've done has had a lasting effect. Please let me know if there are any steps I can take through the city to ensure that my right to quiet enjoyment is respected from this point on.

This is my second official noise complaint against Juannita's Mexican Restaurant, located at 620 W. Kirkwood Ave. Bloomington, IN 47404. The restaurant staff uses outdoor speakers to play music that can be heard outside property lines--I live across the street and can hear this music in my living room and bedroom, at times clearly enough for it to disrupt my sleep. I have complained directly to Juannita's management by phone, email, and in person on several occasions, to no lasting avail. Last May, I submitted a uReport regarding this issue and received a prompt and professional response from Jason Carnes, the Assistant Director of Small Business Relations. Mr. Carnes reached out to the Juannita's manager with a warning about the City’s noise ordinance, which seemed to be effective for a time. However, the music has recently become a problem again. I am a graduate student at IU, and dreading the prospect of facing another school year of being unable to concentrate or relax in my living space. Please let me know what further steps I can take to hold my neighbors accountable for this noise violation. Thank you, Kaitlin Mackenzie

Why can't a store like Vintage Wearhouse on 4th St buy used items from local individuals and a store like Once Upon a Child can? Seems like whatever regulation governs that is incongruous.

Can someone please look into the businesses that are operating out of 629 N. Fairview? Red Tire Taxi received a Rapid Response Fund loan of $12,000 in 2020 for being in the Bloomington Urban Enterprise Zone. I am in my third year of almost daily walking past that building at a wide variety of hours and have only seen a vehicle with a Red Tire Taxi sticker on it once and that was in the summer of 2019. There are two different tow truck company trucks in and out and the majority of the vehicles in their two lots are in some state of serious disrepair. The same vehicles with missing windows are there from when I first moved into this neighborhood in 2019. Is this a junk yard? If it is a junkyard, is there ordinance language around having fences around them? There are vehicles parked on grass in the back as well. If you look up the business registration for that address there is only one business listed and that is called Bloomington Extreme Auto (which is also the business used to perform the safety inspection on Red Tire Taxi's vehicles for the business license), and they were administratively dissolved in 2018. It is an unpleasant area to have a part of daily life, and seems illegitimate in at least one way, if not more. Please look into it. Thank you.

Loud industrial noises all through the day and night. Police said they cannot do anything because this is a business. Constant noise can be heard clearly from nearby apartments (especially southernmost apartments of The Willows Townhouses and Hilltop Court apartments), and even homes 0.5 miles away in Westpoint neighborhood. Advised that this is a batch production that the business Organized Living started on Monday and will continue through Thursday. This is not the first time they have done this days' long process that interrupts both sleep and daytime sanity. Machine in question is outdoors and at the northwest corner of the building, nearest to the populated area.
