Description
I originally reported this issue here https://seeclickfix.com/issues/6358928, but it was fake-closed by Sgt. Brian Foster multiple times in order to sweep it under the rug. I fought to keep it open and kept re-opening it, but he had the SCF admins do something where they instantly archived the issue and made it impossible for me to reopen or comment on it again as the issue continued unabated.
I then attempted to re-submit the issue as a new request since the problem was still not resolved and continuing to cause us nothing but endless trouble. I submitted it here again as issue #6705915
As usual, Sgt. Foster went in, fake-closed my issue several more times, and when I attempted to re-open it he had the SCF admins once again insta-archive it so I can't reopen or comment on it.
I submitted yet another request here as issue #6747484, since the problem remains unresolved and continues to be a nuisance and a hazard. Sgt. Foster just fake-closed it again and also fake-archived it so that I am unable to reopen the issue or comment on it.
As the problem continued unabated, I re-submitted the request again several more times, and each time Sgt. Brian Foster immediately fake-closed and fake-archived it again to sweep it under the rug and allow my neighbor to continue abusing us and our property.
He also closed the following additional 4 requests documenting this same issue:
6763566
6768084
6768095
6780007 - He just closed this one Monday, October 14th
6832554 - He just closed this one Wednesday, October 16th
It is now the 9th time I am having to resubmit this request because of Sgt. Brian Foster's swift censorship of my requests.
The problem continues unabated to this day and the city government and police department continue refusing to enforce our legal private property rights, they continue refusing to cite the owner of 2614 Central for blocking OUR driveway his pickup truck parked on the street and the rear end of it sticking into our driveway, they continue refusing to do anything about the situation and keep telling us "its a civil issue" (even though its not, if you read Alameda's municipal code) and even ignore the fact that I already brought it up to my landlord and that he has already sent them a letter asking them to stop trespassing on our property and they continue doing it anyway.
In any other city they would have been cited by now but in Alameda they get free reign to break the law. It seems like no laws are enforced in this town period and anyone can break as many laws as they want with impunity.
I just arrived home on Tuesday (October 1st, 2019) to once again find that my neighbor has blocked his driveway with his pickup truck, and as we were coming into our carport we watched as one of the tenants in his building drove into our driveway to go around his truck.
Later that day they even trespassed onto our carport and were doing dangerous and i.l.l.e.g.al stunts on their motorbikes in our carport, which they have no legal right to be using whatsoever. I have a video of it included in one of my previous requests you can see for yourself.
Then again last night (Thursday, October 3rd) when I got home I saw that the owner of 2614 Central once again parked his truck in the driveway and was forcing his tenants into our driveway. Again. for the 700th time this year.
Then again tonight (Wednesday, October 15th), I got home and found his truck blocking the driveway again. His truck also still doesnt even have a front license plate, and he drives it like that in Alameda which is also against the law (not that our worthless police department or city government care, since apparently laws mean nothing to them)
Then again last night (October 16th, 2019) his truck was blocking the driveway again and his family and tenants were once again driving into our driveway to go around it all day, putting tenants in our complex in danger.
The owner of this complex as well as several of his tenants and family members have consistently been parking vehicles in their driveway, completely blocking the driveway off and then proceeding into our driveway next door without our permission and using our driveway to go around their vehicles.
I have been regularly reporting this problem to APD since April 2018 and nothing has been done about it. The owners and various tenants of 2614 Central continue to i.l.l.e.g.a.l.l.y trespass onto our driveway next door and use it without the owner's permission to go around their vehicles.
They are also causing a collision hazard for tenants in our complex and have almost caused an accident several times swerving into our driveway from behind the fence that separates our properties.
The fence acts as a blindspot and there is no way for people exiting our complex to see their vehicles on the other side of the fence, and therefore have no warning when their vehicles sometimes rapidly swerve out into our driveway to go around their vehicles blocking their driveway.
The owner of 2614 Central Ave and his tenants need to learn that our complex is private property, it does not belong to them, they do not have permission to use our driveway, we have a big giant "no trespassing" sign posted out front which they conveniently ignore every time. They need to be made aware of the fact that our driveway DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM. They DO NOT have permission to use our driveway.
STOP USING OUR DRIVEWAY TO GO AROUND VEHICLES IN YOUR DRIVEWAY. If you want to block your driveway, fine! Be my guest! But if you need to get in or out of your carport, you need to use your own driveway to do that. If a vehicle is blocking you, you need to either move it yourself or ask whoever parked it there to move it or have it towed. You do not have the right to use our driveway without our permission to go around your vehicles in your driveway!
They need to learn this and soon.
Please make the trespassing and abuse of our driveway stop. We are sick and tired of it.
Thanks.
Note: If this issue gets closed I will simply resubmit it. Every time you close it Im just going to resubmit it. I will *NEVER* let this get swept under the rug. NEVER.

Saturday, October 19th, 2019 and Sunday, October 20th, 2019. The owner of 2614 Central is continuing to park his pickup truck, which also lacks a front license plate and is completely in violation of more municipal codes than I can count, in his driveway, and forcing his family members and tenants to trespass into our driveway to go around his truck.
As a bonus, last night they also threw a party, had their family members trespass into our driveway, throw garbage and food waste into our driveway for us to drive over when we came home, and pried open my mailbox to steal my mail again (4th or 5th time this month)

Here is video footage of the owner of 2614 Central Ave getting into his pickup truck, which he blocks his driveway with and forces his tenants into our driveway without our permission to go around his truck, which also has no front license plate - which is likewise illegal in Alameda - and driving off onto a public Alameda street (Central Ave).

Ironically enough, you can even see at 9 seconds into the video an APD squad car drives casually past him without even trying to stop him.
Mind you - APD are already aware of him and I've been reporting him and his family for 2 years straight. Evidently they dont even care when they drive by and see him getting into this vehicle, which they were already notified by me 2 years ago does not have a front plate.
As always, we can always count on APD to ignore us and not to enforce the law.
To add insult to injury when I tried to call it in to their dispatch center, they put me on hold. By the time they finally took my call, he returned about 5 minutes later. I called them, they said they came out and didn't see anything.
Amazing, all of this happened within 5 minutes and somehow they still couldn't cite him? It's obvious they're intentionally letting him get away with it.

About 5 minutes later, they returned to the complex. I got him on video rolling his truck back into the driveway and blocking it again.
Here is the video: https://youtu.be/KPcfIlbsKXs
After he parked the car he or his daughter started blipping the car horn repeatedly to harass me, because they saw me through my window blinds and therefore know I am home. They "punish" me for looking out my own bedroom window.
Unfortunately, my cell phone didn't capture this part as I turned the recorder off (but my security cam did, which I'll upload when I have a chance)

Here is the security cam footage of the incident documented above. This footage includes the horn honking episode that followed after the owner of 2614 Central Ave finished parking his truck in the driveway again. Fast forward to 3:05 to hear him start honking his horn repeatedly to harass me as "punishment" for looking out my own bedroom window.

Sunday, October 20th, 2019. 11:50 PM. The DUI jeep driver just came, swerving into our driveway go around her grandfather's pickup truck, blasting in with her music turned up on the highest setting on purpose to harass and disturb us while we were in bed sleeping. The music was so loud it woke me up while I was sleeping with earplugs in and with my double pane windows firmly closed.
She then blipped her car horn several times before loudly entering her apartment, flinging open the screen door hard and provoking her dogs into a frenzy of eardrum rupturing barking. We had to listen to music blasting, door slamming and barking dogs all within a few minutes, all of this at literally 10 minutes to midnight.
She has been doing this to us every single day and night for two consecutive years straight, with APD's full blessing. Thanks APD! Maybe I should go park outside Chief Rolleri's house in Danville and blast music there? Lets see how he likes it since he thinks its such a non issue!
