说明
Personal effects, bedding, furniture and other rubbish are stored without the required city permit described in the city's own policy/ordinance (see http://www.stpete.org/community/homelessness/ordinances_and_laws.php). The city has been made aware of this persistent rubbish heap countless times thru countless channels of communication including the Mayor's Action Center, SPPD and direct contact with city councilpersons. Either:
1) remove the illegally stored items pursuant to the terms of the ordinance, or,
2) consider this an official Sunshine Law request to provide a detailed explanation for the city's complacency and/or dereliction of (its own stated) duty, or,
3) provide proof positive that the person(s) storing items in the right of way have been issued the requisite permits that allow this blighted area to remain irreversibly blighted.

Thank you for reporting this. I have personally visited this location today, February 6, 2019 at approximately 10:00 am, and I saw the personal possessions of the person who's typically at this location. I've also followed up with members of our Police Assisting The Homeless (PATH), who have met with this individual to offered assistance. My understanding is that the personal possessions will be removed very shortly. If not, our Codes Compliance staff will take action in accordance with the City's established policies and procedures. Thank you again for reporting this to us.

Thank you for your efforts Ms. Jones. As of 11:30am, 02/07/19 there is no detectable change in this situation. The gentleman and his big heap of stuff are still there.
In his 2014 recommendations to the city, Dr Marbut stressed the need for and use of consequences to compel uncooperative individuals toward transition (see http://www.stpete.org/community/homelessness/seven_guiding_principles_of_transformation.php). Clearly the consequences imparted by the city are ineffective. The gentleman in question returns again and again with impunity. It is clearly a battle of wills between him and the city's authority and the tax paying citizens are losing.
I suggest making his chosen home inhospitable to him but in a harmless way... install a bike rack that would make it impossible for him to use the cement pad as his home. Or, place a large object of art or a big anchor or ship's cleat that messages the area's working waterfront aura. How about a big planter like those recently placed along 1st street? Anything that blocks his access but has comparatively better aesthetic appeal. Or just remove the cement pad entirely.
Where does the adjacent property owner's responsibility come in (Duke Energy)? Right of way ordinance says it's up to the property owner to maintain easements and rights of way consistent with code or face code enforcement action.
While everyone's efforts are appreciated, it's time for someone to think outside the box and devise a creative solution that gets this fellow, nice as he may be, moved away from this location. Otherwise, the city exposes itself to selective enforcement litigation every time it penalizes others for violation of city Code 1973, 20-11(b)(5); Ord. No. 815-G, ~ 1,2,3-15-07. Perhaps an investigative journalist would have interest in the criteria used by the city to withhold action against this x3 years habitual offender?

Based on comments from the now archived Issue 5470203, there does seem to be sufficient interest in a citizen organized "beach clean-up" of this location (13th Ave S and 3rd St). Once I have secured permission (and possibly support!) from the property owner, Duke Energy and any required city permits, I will create the event on Nextdoor.com. I will also speak with contacts at the Harborage Marina about providing event details to their boat owner community who might be concerned about human feces streaming under their boats via Booker Creek.
Despite the very recent removal by the city of the cement pad, the gentleman and his pile of junk are still there in the rain as of 0900 on 03/05/19.

Status quo. And now additional people are “day camping” along with their possessions. Smells, the area is filthy: How is this not a public health issues, also?
Why is this man still there, why isn’t the city doing something besides canned responses and false promises? He needs help whether he “agrees” or not.
What’s the mayor’s home address? Maybe a camp-out protest in front of his yard would spur action.
