Description
1301-1399 Jackson Street
Large pile of mixed items (mostly clothing) dumped on sidewalk, west side of Jackson Street between 13th and 14th Street.
This needs attention ASAP.
I live near this location and commonly see this type of activity.
There is a regular homeless and vagrant element with people loitering, drinking and doing drugs in this area. Disturbances happen at this exact location. This pile of various items is seriously at risk of becoming a trash and health hazard.
People have already started picking through this pile.
People will pick through these items, and start leaving them all over the city as trash.
Thank you!

It has now been over 4 days since I opened this case.
ITEMS ARE STILL ON SIDEWALK.
Please keep in mind this pile of dumped items, still there now, was already at this location for a few days prior to opening this case.
When first reported, the items were in a somewhat orderly group, in plastic bags.
The pile is now larger and has turned into a chaotic batch of clothing and various items (including a chair that's now broken), that has been exposed to harsh elements, including many days of rain, all out of bags.
As I'm writing this, has been raining for the last day and is raining, now.
These items need to be picked up and managed by the city, ASAP, before finding themselves in beautiful Lake Merritt, which will harm wildlife.

This dumping issue has relocated to the nearest Jackson Street tree, containing mostly the same trash, plus new items.
This new pile of clothing is now relocated to the base of a west Jackson Street sidewalk TREE in Oakland, closer to 13th Street.
Thank you!

It has now been 24 hours after my last update and this dumped pile of clothing and miscellaneous debris has grown with new dumped items. It is now a larger pile that is nearly double its size from the day before.
Thank you.

It has been about 12 hours since my last comment.
It had been over two weeks since these items were dumped and reported for management.
Cleanup service arrived, late this morning, with dumped items disposed.
Thank you for your attention and service on this request!
