They have had problems in the past with the Calif Alcoholic Beverage Control. Try filing a complaint. They do want to see loitering, garbage or graffiti.

I do agree about the dumpster area, but in all fairness, they do clean up graffiti fairly quickly unlike the billionaire business PUBLIC STORAGE that had graffiti on their building for years and years and the City of Oakland has done NOTHING to require that this scofflaw corporation clean up their eyesore building.

I give them credit for that (cleaning up graffiti, actually there is graffiti there now on the wall), but...ther is no excuse for the trash problem.

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has referred this issue to CODE ENFORCEMENT,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).

Thank you.

Excellent! Someone was there yesterday cleaning up that shed and moving the illeagally dumped stuff to the curb. Although I think the job of securing the dumpster enclosure may be a lot of labor and material cost, this is a necessay business maintenance cost and should not be deferred. With all the hipsters moving into the area, this place could benefit by improving their image, and potentially recognizing they could expand thier market into craft beer, wine, etc. (you know, hipster staples).

False alarm. I think it was a homless looking for somewhere to camp.

Code enforcement is absolutely necessary. The debris extends into and across the street and is attracting illegal dumping. It has been over a month since initially reported and no change has occurred.

Success! Much appreciation goes out to Mrs. CONCERNED neighbor who made it happen. She called code enforcement and really followed through with the commitment. It has been since at least July 1, 2015 since this mess was cleaned up and finally taken care of. The bins are now stowed in the enclosure for which they were mean to be in all along. Case close. :)

Thanks for fixing this issue!
