This poor road situation has been existing for many years in front of 7520 Garfield Ave. especially when it is raining season, the pothole is filled with dirty sewage smell water, and even the pathway is filled with waste water as well.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for contacting OAK 311. The maintenance and repair of sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner per Section 5610 of the California State Street and Highways code and Section 12.04 of the Oakland Municipal Code. These codes require property owners to repair and maintain their sidewalks, except where sidewalk damage is caused by an official City of Oakland tree, in which case the City's current policy is to take on those repairs. If sidewalks are nonexistent, then the owners of the adjacent parcel are responsible for the installation of new sidewalks.
Thank you
