Here's the thing: He's in the process of renovating the house to make the neighborhood better and attract a more desirable renter than the last ones who both recently died there and had a son who's currently doing a healthy stint in the brig. The son also used to dabble in small arms target practice in the backyard every so often. Yes, in a perfect world we want the residence owner occupied but it's not the case. Let the guy fix the place up and park on the stupid lawn. In the long run it will be better for the neighborhood. Big picture people, big picture!

Oh and what does it matter if he's from Gainesville? Are we discriminating people who live in Gainesville who own property here? I mean maybe we should, I don't know. "Yep... thems there from Gaaaaiiiinsviiillle! That's like making salsa in Neeeewww York City! Hooooweeee! That jus ain't right in my book. Ride em off, I say!" Yeah, no... we shouldn't discriminate against people from other parts of the world let alone a fellow Floridian.

I'm a neighbor who did not report this, but parking on the lawn was not ok. I don't care where you live. Thank you for making this a safe rental property, we can't wait to welcome new tenants to be part of our community! Cheers

@Stefan, it's great to see that the rental property owner is trying to fix up the property after the previous tenants passed. It's one thing for the owner to park on the yard to unload supplies or tools while he is working on the house. However, he can park on the street 30 feet away like the rest of the neighbors. Allowing him to continue to park on the lawn, will only encourage his future tenants to do the same.

until he parks 30 ft away and some one breaks in and steals his tools. He could have 10k plus in tools. why don't you go put 10k 30 ft away and see how you feel. Plus time is money and having to walk back and forth plus heavy tools and equipment...

neighbors complaining about neighbors... SeeClickFix at it's finest...

Does anyone remember Bellyaching Barry and Sniveling Susie from grade school? Well guess what? We are not 'Historic Kenwood' anymore. That's right, we are now 'Complaining Kenwood'. It's official. This neighborhood has accrued the most complaints out of all St. Petersburg on clickfix. Congrats people! We're there! We've finally made it! Seriously though, call them if you don't believe me. We are now all Sniveling Susie's, Bellyaching Barry's, and the Mayor's Office is Ms. Crabtree Platapus.
All kidding aside, here's how it works and how it affects us. It's economics: The more money a country prints, the less valuable that money becomes (just look at the peso). Now keeping that in mind, it's very much kind of like complaining: The more complaining, the less and less the complaints are worth. They become watered down; a drop in the bucket. So... mark my words: This will get worse if we do not start picking our battles accordingly. I repeat: This will get worse if we do not start picking our battles accordingly. If you have a problem like this one that can be solved without using this site, wouldn't it be better for everyone? This clickfix doesn't have to me your A plan. Maybe first just walk over and say, "Hey neighbor, I understand you're doing some work on your house. That's great, however, I was just wondering if you could park on the street and in the alley, other than on the lawn. I hope you don't think I'm trying to be the neighborhood parking police. The thing is, if you park on the lawn other people might think it's okay and start doing it then we look like Pinellas Park. No one wants that, right? So please, pretty please with sugar on top, please move your car." OMG! If my memory serves me well, I do believe that's how we did things before the internet. I also remember that if it wasn't worth it to personally, face to face, deal with an issue you had, you just let it go, filed it under 'not worth my time' and got back to playing Trivial Pursuit or wondering why you bought a Radio Shack TRS-80 instead of a Commador 64.

Oh, and I'm sorry if I offended any platypus's out there for the misspelling. Wait, is it 'platypi'?... Anyway, my bad.

The issue that you reported previously has been addressed by the City, and this open work order is now closed. Please feel free to submit future requests to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete, and thanks again!
