Description
1561 5th St ... This house recently vacated by elderly owner has become an attractant for dumping trash and worse. A few weeks ago, there were twelve police cars surrounding this same house when it was broken into. The property is directly across the street from a small market and there is daily smoking & littering by folks loitering on the front steps and up on the porch.

hi TCOCOTS~ thanks for following and for bringing this up.
update: the situation at this particular house did get resolved due to the fact that house went on the market and sold in a matter of a few weeks. new owners have been working on the house and word on the block is they’ll be moving in soon.
i agree with what i think you are saying (forgive me if i’m mistaken), and that it would be helpful if the city of alameda would give even a limited bit of information instead of simply stating ‘case closed’. citizens would have more faith in the process if they felt their complaints were being addressed specifically.
other situations have required reminders that the issue is still very much alive after this site has shown them as closed.
it takes a village. again thanks for following. our block is grateful this one is resolved.

correction to above: as this was garbage on a private property, this case was referred over to code compliance. see-click-fix only deals w carts, trash etc left on ‘public or city’ property.
going forward, call code compliance directly for issues with private property would be faster than reporting on this site and waiting for them to fwd it it CC.
