Fire / Theft / Squatting hazard. Can we talk about this nuisance location? It has had two fires in 5 months, at an abandoned house known for homeless squatters that are proven bike thieves, in a residential neighborhood. The yard is full of stolen bicycle frames and stolen firewood. The owner is an elderly 76 YO woman who lives south of the city limits. Clearly this is an abandoned / squatter sitution that is a public hazard. What do we need to tolerate?
I appreciate the progress on this squatter / fire hazard, but will simply boarding up the place solve the problem of homeless squatters using this as a bicycle chop shop? Is there anything else we can do to evict them from tearing off the plywood and squatting again? I get legal BS, but let's accelerate this and fix it. This place has been a fire hazard and theft / stripyard for years. The homeless is this area at 7AM, sitting between Grimes and Rallys, waiting to prey again - is a f'ing joke waiting to deal with privately. Do something.
There are tall weeds in the yard. Neighbor claims yard has not been mowed this year.
o.w., can exceeds size limit
WATER MAIN BREAK
Water coming out of the tap sometimes "brownish." On and off during the last couple of months. When it happens we don't drink it, but it has ruined a white sweater in the washing machine. What should we do?
Not sure why my trash was not picked up yesterday (Thursday). My recycling was collected, but not two bags of trash (with stickers showing clearly). I guess I can put them in my garage until next Wednesday night, but if there was a problem with the trash that kept it from being picked up, I would like to know what that problem was.
Once again, I need to report excessive grass growth on the lot just west of my lot (105 E Sunny Slopes Dr, Bloomington). It is an area that doesn't appear to belong to anyone--it is the extension of what might have been planned for a street.
re: id=168983 and id=168611 Dee Wills referred to process of abatement of property. Where can I find an explanation of what that means? Also, I have asked in multiple reports if there is a City department or agency that can help me with the next door abandoned (for two years) swimming pool that is stagnant, attracting wildlife, and a perfect breeding place for mosquitoes?
