I have reported this problem to the City several times, but nothing has ever been done about it. There is a used car business being operated out of a house at 1316 S. Palmer Ave. Deliveries of used cars and trucks arrive every week, and more often than that. The owner of the business has workers working who are always in the street. The vehicles and the workers block traffic, and it is unsafe for the workers refurbishing the used cars and trucks. In fact, that block of Palmer has become a one-lane street. The cars and trucks are parked up and down the street at all times. The place itself is trash heap. I own a house in the 1400 block, only two doors south of this used car lot, and my property value is diminished because of it. This would NEVER be allowed in any other residential neighborhood in the city. There are constantly many used cars and trucks coming and going as they get refurbished and sold. I've had enough. Please do your work.

Running some sort of car business out of the home. At least 7 cars parked all along the road with random people working on cars day and night on the street. No place to park. Looks like trash. Car parts and debris everywhere all the time. Not appropriate for a neighborhood at all

Road is being blocked - this home appears to be running a mechanics shop out of their garage and they have accumulated 5-6 large trucks which they are always repairing as well as a gooseneck trailer making this area unsafe for pedestrians

This neighbor is still blocking the sidewalk. There has been no movement since yesterday. It is dangerous to walk in the streets because drivers speed through the neighborhood. Can you please help us fix this as it has been an ongoing issue for years with this neighbor. Thank you!!

Case Date:

This neighbor walks his two very large dogs (black and tan Rottweiler and black Newfoundland) without a leash every day around 4-5pm. His dogs are aggressive and have attacked multiple dogs in the neighborhood both in Bryan Park and by going onto other peoples’ property. Please do something about this so that our neighborhood is safe.

This neighbor has been blocking the sidewalk with his 6 cars (one person lives there) for the past several years. At least 2 of the cars have not moved in months, maybe longer. Please help us clean up our neighborhood so everyone can walk safely on the sidewalk.

The individual living at 1316 South Palmer always has tons of trash on his front porch and in his driveway. As homeowners living (and paying taxes) in this neighborhood, we would really appreciate it if the city of Bloomington required this individual to clean up the yard and maintain the house.

The owner of this house has at least five cars, at least two of these are junk cars and don’t run. Additionally, there is trash on his front porch, yard, and driveway that has not been cleaned up in months. Please have this resident clean up his property.

Case Date:

This individual regularly parks over the sidewalk with one car, and the wrong way with the other car (both pictured). Additionally, only 1 individual lives in this house, but he has 5 cars. His property is also not kept up at all, regularly storing large appliances on his front porch (like washers and dryers) failing to repair gutters and siding, and allowing excessive overgrowth in his front yard. He brings the home values of the whole street down with his neglect.
