Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for contacting the Oakland Call Center regarding this matter. Based off the image, the refrigerator and now the couch are considered to be on private property. When illegal dumping is determined to be on private property and not in the public right of way (i.e. sidewalk street) the request will be sent to Code Enforcement to send out a notice to the property owner to remove the items off of their property. Please follow-up with Code Enforcement, at (510) 238-3381 or the property owner to have the items removed.

Thank you,

The City of Oakland Call Center has referred this issue to CODE ENFORCEMENT,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).
