City of Oakland Private Property - Code Enforcement MAIS

Shopping carts, waste, clutter piling up on this corner. It has been growing in the past month, and this morning there was a small fire on site.

This block of Manila between 38th and 40th continues to explode with trash, tents, bicycles in various states of disrepair, illegal dumping, and illegal storage.

There are at least 15 people that I have identified who live here, and a number of other people who pass through the encampment daily. Social distancing is not practiced in this growing encampment, no masks are being worn by these unhoused people, there are no hand washing stations or public toilets here, and there are no health or sanitation services currently being offered. This is a very concerning development, not only for the people who are living on this block unhoused but for people who are trying to maintain social distancing, and keep our neighborhood safe from covid, as well as crime.

Please consider the impact that allowing this encampment to grow daily is having on the health and safety of all people in this neighborhood, not only the people who have the ability and privilege to post on 311 or who can shelter in their own homes.

Occupants are letting trade pile up on the property. Rats and smells are coming from the area and they aren't doing anything to get rid of it

Blight

Downed fence and unsecured property. People get into the lot, make noise, and creating a lot of graffiti issues on the property and fence of neighboring property. Sometimes fence falls onto the street blocking the sidewalk.

Someone has to do something about this encampment on a residential sidewalk! Please! I have found used syringes, a deranged man screams at passerbyers and wanders all over the neighborhood with a pipe in his hand. We’ve had three bicycles stolen from our backyard and we can quite visibly see the parts of one of them at this encampment (the police said there’s nothing they can do). There’s rats, mice, piles of trash and piles of human waste in doorways. My neighbors want to move because it’s not safe. It’s NOT SAFE.

Corrected Picture
(only 1 of many)

Back yard is filled with garbage that is attracting and harboring vermin. I am not clear if the house is abandoned.

The property is filled with rats and other vermin. It is the worst case of blight I have ever seen, including in my travels to other countries.I believe the inhabitants are constantly poisoning the rats, thereby poisoning cats, birds and dogs. The filth is unimaginable. The hazard posed to public safety is likewise unimaginable, poisoning the entire neighborhood. It appears there are people living illegally in the back.
