Description
Several issues with this property, all arising from the store "Gloria's Market." Owner uses city trash bins and recycling when he should be using a commercial hauler, side of the building and alleyway clogged with fixtures and trash every week. Customers spill over on to the sidewalk and loiter day and night and lots of illegal parking blocking the front of 605 and 603. Cars blocking fire hydrants, standing, idling, sticking out into East when they park on the corner of State, and jutting out into State when parked on East. Owner and his unfriendly customers often have open containers of beer and leave trash down State and up East.
Since taking over the business this owner has been neglectful, disrespectful of the neighborhood and generally unwilling to do anything about any complaints that have been brought to him and it just keeps getting worse.

Staff conducted an inspection yesterday at 930 am:
"No illegal parked cars
Trash cans and recycle bins were empty. The owner was in front of the store cleaning when I arrived. I spoke to the owner and he states he will have the alleyway cleaned by monday. There is also a commercial dumpster already on premises."
We will keep an eye on this .........
Please post a new photo if this situation remains problematic.

Hanging out doing drugs, drinking, and causing a nuisance are Police Issue 203.946.6316.
LCI is the housing department but we act as a catch-all and try to facilitate a lot of "stuff".
Public Works and the Health Department may be able to address the issue of the "garbage" because this is a mixed use building.
I will pass this along for other departments to follow up.

Sorry but this a non-response, you might as well have not shown up at all.
The picture I posted was obviously from the night before trash pickup, and as the other poster said, why show up on a non trash day at 9 freaking thirty in the morning?!?!?!?
I've defended LCI in the past for only being able to do so much when there are other departments involved but this is just so ridiculously nonsensical that I can defend no more.
The owner has been dumping in the alleyway for the duration of his ownership of the store and his patrons have had the police called on them NUMEROUS times! This lip service is not at all adequate. It would also be nice if our ALDER would get involved in these efforts, but she is on vacation AGAIN! I'm disgusted at the neglect of this issue and that no one seems willing to do anything to remedy it.
Why does it make sense to walk by first thing in the morning when the majority of the store's issues (and business) happen(s) in the evening as the shot I took clearly implies? I guess its useless to complain in this neighborhood unless you are somehow affiliated with Yale. We pay our fair share of taxes, why don't we get the same level of services??
Regardless of whether you have the authority to deal with the issues we stated, to show up when those issues were obviously NOT happening and then have the nerve to blow us off is infuriating. Take another walk by in a few weeks some Tuesday afternoon (or how about this? Trash night!) and you will see a wholly different story.

MC,
We will go by again for sure.
FYI
we have also asked the Health Department, Traffic Dept, and Public Works to look at this site as well.

MC,
Several Departments visited Gloria's based on your complaint (LCI, DPW, Health, TT&P).
Your complaint involved Police issues as well ( loitering & illegal parking).
LCI has no control over other departments.....they do not have to chime in on these threads. We try to work with the other departments on issues as we did with this one. We will remind the other departments that you feel this matter is still an issue.
Let's be fair: We did respond and address your initial compliant within our jurisdictional powers.
