This needs to be more than just "acknowledged." The city needs to work on seizing this property from the owner - it is a massive nuisance for the block. They NEVER follow the law regarding garbage.

Is there something the neighbors surrounding the apartment block can do ? I've seen mattresses, food, all on the alley road, as well as the trash can on the corner, I've seen people throw directly from the trash can.. dumping everything on the trash can, and ground/road. And walk back into the apartment building

Per Ingea, this is not a SWEEP issue. This issue was forwarded to ECU they should contact DC EPA's office. They can address this violation. Thank you. IJ
