Thank you for contacting Community Board 14. Your complaint has been forwarded to the agency managing this property.

Current state of this property at 3:30pm this afternoon. Note the piles of open and exposed garbage. Thank you.

This location was inspected last week by the Department of Sanitation and was found to be in order. Community Board 14 contacted the manager of this property today. The company confirmed that the lot is being cleaned beginning today and the clean-up is expected to be completed by the end of the week.

Thank you Community Board 14.

As of today the property still has porta-johns, tents and seating along with other items being stored including a car. There is already one homeless person sleeping on the property using the seating to sleep on etc.

What exactly was meant by the manager regarding property "clean-up". "Clean-up" to us, the surrounding neighbors, means all items removed from the property. We would like all of the above items removed and the land secured with a fence ASAP.

Furthermore if the land owners are absentee and seem to have no opinion on who absconds with the space then those of us who have been looking at this waste of land for 8 years are going to do something productive with it, like create a community garden. We are tired of the filth, the dumping and disrespectful nature of how the property kept!

Complaints were filed 9/21/15 requesting to secure a vacant lot (DOT-275089-J8V6), clean-up a dirty vacant lot (DSNY.) DHS outreach assistance was also requested for the homeless individual inhabiting the lot. FYI - Residents can file these complaints with the City of New York 24 hours a day by calling 3-1-1.
