Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

POSTED AT 11:32 PM ON Nov. 29, 2012

Renters, get your indoor couch off your outside porch.

Thats one of the changes the Bloomington City Council approved in the Bloomington Property Maintenance Code on Nov. 14.

Changes in smoke detector requirements dominated the debate during the Property Maintenance Code updating process, but other changes are coming soon.

Couches, armchairs and futons are among the traditional indoor furniture that dot Bloomington front porches. In the near future, rental property tenants will be banned from using such seating and instead be limited to using only designated outdoor furniture.

The ban on upholstered porch furniture wont immediately go into effect. A review of certain parts of the Property Maintenance Code by the Indiana Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission is tentatively set for February 2013.

Housing and Neighborhood Development Director Lisa Abbott said she worked on the updates for months. The codes most recent update was in 2003.

Much of the property in Bloomington is rental units. In 2011, there were 21,612 registered rental units in the city, accounting for 60 percent of total housing, according to city records.

The neighborhoods have been asking for this for a long time, for a number of reasons, Abbott said.

She cited neighbor complaints on weather-exposed upholstered furniture that often begins to smell due to mildew. Aesthetic concerns of older front porch furniture also played into some complaints.

Porch couches could be axed after code update

Highland Park police are trying investigating a bizarre crime spree -- the thefts of several pricey large planters.

Sgt. Lance Koppa said six large pots have been stolen from front porches since Nov. 20.

"They're driving around -- they're identifying which ones they want to take and come back a few hours later and they snatch them off the front porch," he said.

Koppa said the pots can cost several hundred dollars.

"They're expensive," said Anne Palles, who lives a few doors down from where several pots were stolen. "You know, these are custom pots and, gosh, if they're taking them with plants in them, that's an extra bonus. That's more of a savings."

Palles said thieves tried to steal her giant planters but couldn't because they are partially anchored to the patio with plumbing.

"This pot had been scooted over closer to the edge, and we didn't think anything about it at the time," she said.

The planter the thieves tried to steal from her porch weighs more than 300 pounds. Another large bowl near her front door weighs even more.

"It took four gentlemen to lift that center pot over there, just to get it in place without dirt," Palles said.

Koppa said there must be a market for stolen pottery but, so far, police can't find it.
