Thank you.

So you expect the public to call all of those phone numbers above? You're a call center, direct this complaint to them!

Click on the link for even more numbers the PWD is not going to contact. When PWD do really refer something its to the wrong people. Code Enforcement is mentally painful to deal with.

Thanks all. I reported this same lot last year, it was a pain but the finally did something and it got cleaned up, sort of. I wanted to get it on here, next I will call code enforcement.

The City "referring this to Code Enforcement" has done nothing. That is why after 30 days it is still open!

Contacting code enforcement 238-3381 to file a complaint requires making them do there jobs. They have never willing called me back I just mark my calendar and keep the pressure on.

There has still been no response by the city!

I haven't had time lately to get/stay on them.

That's seems to be what they code enforcement are counting on. There are way to many city, county, state and federal employees that work very hard at finding ways not to there jobs???

UPDATE: No help from Code Enforcement, ever!
This property has been leased out. The new tenant is in the process of cleaning it up. The trash has been bagged up, weeds cut. It should be taken away any day now. Paint out of graffiti to follow.
In the next couple months, watch for a small engine repair business and support local!
