RRC assigned this issue to RRC Assistant Director - Waseem

Construction workers making loud noises opening up the sidewalk by using jackhammers and power tools. After this initial report was made on here, no one from the city came to cease the illegal work being done on a Saturday. Work continued and cement was poured for their new 316 8th sidewalk. Please issue 316 8th developer/property owner summons for city ordinance violations.

As reported, 316 8th Street workers poured their cement sidewalk yesterday.
Neighbors are now very concerned with this new sidewalk poured because there are NO EXPANSION JOINTS.
No "expansion joints" in this sidewalk may cause improper drainage and could also cause cracking of the sidewalk.

permission was granted

If there's a city ordinance that construction using loud equipment and power tools is not permitted on weekends, why was Permission granted on a Saturday to jackhammer & cut up the sidewalk at 316 8th? How was it possible this bldg owner/developer to get a permit to do so?

Thank you Wassem for taking my call this morning and explaining that special permission was given by Construction Dept to cut up the sidewalk on Saturday morning.

Today the work crew is at 316 8th using a huge circular saw and cutting "expansion joints" into the sidewalk that they poured on Saturday.
