Tenants at 247 Louisiana constantly use public area as a dumping ground for trash. If it's not a microwave it's a couch or something new every week.

"Tenants at ..............(fill in the blank) constantly use public area as a dumping ground for trash."
Once again: it is the landlord's responsibility to inform the tenant of proper procedures for putting out trash, including how to arrange acceptable, oversized item pick-up -- and then to enforce the tenant's compliance.
Picking up and hauling away excessive street dumping -- at tax-paying neighbors' expense -- is not enough. The landlord needs to be informed of his failure, and warned of the consequences, if they continue.
And those consequences need to severe, and strictly enforced. In other words, City Council needs to act, and city management needs to get to work.

That is why city government must express and enforce strict rules and penalties on the landlord.
We used to have a City-Citizen volunteer group helping neighbors of a bad property get Small Claims Court financial redress against a bad landlord. That group was shut down by withdrawn VPD cooperation. We need to reactivate it -- or some other method to hit bad landlords in the pocketbook!
