Its best to contact the call center for issues like this one. The same go's for all hazardous or dangerous issue.

Thanks Dave but this is why I Have S,C,F.
How is this a hazardous or dangerous issue? Honestly I don't know if it is or ain't - I'll let the businesses complain the loudest. I would never eat in one that smelled like that outside. But then again I wouldn't eat at Quickly, Cheesteak store anyway.

I have found that SCF takes to long to go thought to the right dept in public works. The call center gets it to the people much quicker. I would consider sewer gas as hazardous. Nasty mix of methane, H2S and CO2 plus a few of pathogens.

I agree with David. Alameda County Health Department may also want to notified.

City of Oakland Public Works Department addressed this issue on 06/08/2016, service request #656387.

Dear Jeffdiver1, David, and Tom: Has this issue really been fixed? I'll withhold my thanks until you confirm! :-o

I'm not sure. You call call the Public Works Call Center directly, and have them check. Ref. Service Request #656387.

Their phone number is (510)65-5566.

Yesterday I asked one of the merchants on Grand Avenue (where they had the very same problem plus sewage water running down the gutter) and he said it's seasonal and will come back once the rains resume.
