Description
The right of way behind this property is filled with debris and trash that has attracted rats and other vermin that are invading neighboring homes on a regular basis. Past trimming in this yard has been placed there and in the right of way and has not been removed. It provides for nesting of animals. This is in violation of City Ordinance Section 27-466- unlawful accumulations of rubbish and Sec. 27-500. - Removal of garden trash and tree trimmings. Specifically:
(d) It is unlawful for any person to place or cause to be placed any brush, trash, or tree trimmings anywhere on the property or right-of-way. Garden trash and tree trimmings that are not placed in a bulk container shall be removed by the POD and the special services charges will be billed to the owner or tenant where such illegal accumulations exist.
With this report this property is a Chronic Nuisance Property as clearly evidenced by recent multiple rubbish-click-fix and city police noise and other complaints in the last six months per Section 9-63 (a) (1) and should be put on notice and a hearing held. Police Case # 2017-035623 should be used as a determiner as well since the home has been the host of undesirable people of unacceptable social-economic levels including the individual that lost their licence under a neighbors bedroom window in a secure fenced yard while the neighbor was out of town, the 929 address providing ready access to that side of the house. Further, the individual on the license lives in public housing in Tampa where the current residents of 929 may have moved from and the license shows evidence of overheating from a lighter in a manner consistent with drug use. If the determination is that not enough evidence exists at this time the property owner should be put on notice and any future issue added to the list for holding a hearing.
This property in the past 8 years has been a disorderly house in accordance with Section 20-116. - Disorderly houses.
(a) Any house, place of business or other structure or premises which may become so disorderly as to endanger the public peace or permit unlawful activity shall be declared to be a disorderly house and a public nuisance.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to operate or otherwise maintain a disorderly house.
The owner should be cited for renting out and encouraging a disorderly house that is endangering the public peace. Should a hearing be held on this property all residents within a city block should be notice so they can present testimony as to the endangerment of public peace.

I know it's election time for the mayor and you want to have a good bunch of results he can talk about. However nothing has been done in the right-of-way nothing has been done about the animals that are living in the right away that's never been cleaned and the renters have stacked more and more brush against the right-of-way fence.
Section 20-116 of the city ordinances is not been addressed by closing this. The complaint was clear and stipulating the conditions that exist but the landlord has allowed to continue to exist. Current renters tore down gate and fence sections to cover windows for the hurricane and Nailed pallets to the other windows. Theyare still in place.
If the mayor says this is the sunshine city why can't the sun shine on this issue and with transparency so this resolved for those of us that are property owners around this renter and landlord who cares nothing about the right we have to peace and a one safe from four legged vermin in the waste and debris and the ones with two legs that own this property. They should be cited for the violations and a hearing held.
