Description

The neighbor still has many junk cars / trucks stored on the empty lot. He parked them next to the poor dentist office. Doesn't make them look professional or in a good neighbor hood.

About 3 trucks and 2 cars. All appear broken and bad plates. One is even missing many parts. He also has ones stored on the street. So check for bad or out of area plates.

We been asking for this to be resolved for 10 years. Well documented here. Any reason why the city can't shut down this illegal junk yard, storage yard, tow yard, and repair shop ? Repair shops need to be licensed on concrete or ashphalt and then work done in a building. with fence.

Anyone else tired of this ? Feel free to post pictures too.
