The City of Oakland Public Works Agency has received this issue. It is registered as service request # 482957. Please check back for status updates or contact us directly at (510) 615-5566.
Thank you for contacting the Public Works Agency regarding this matter. However, additional information is needed before your request can be processed. Are you reporting that a section of sidewalk has been removed? Or is it that there is no sidewalk on this particular block? If sidewalks are nonexistent, then the owners of the adjacent parcel are responsible for the installation of new sidewalks.
Also,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.
There is no sidewalk on this section at all, I'm not sure if there ever was one though it seems unusual if not given there is sidewalk for the rest of the block. It is dangerous and uneven and disproportionately impacts the elderly or people with a disability or mobility issues.
Can you assess this and either provide sidewalk, or enforce the Municipal codes you reference upon the property owner to take action please?
So I just spoke with public works regarding this issue, which they have deemed as "closed" even tho nothing has been done. I was given the name of a Mr. Lee White who is with the Right of way management department who is responsible for sidewalk installation, phone number 510-238-7288, and left him a message requesting a status update. The more residents who call in and request info, and demand that sidewalk gets installed here, would clearly help.
Thank you for your request. According to our system, we already have an open service request at this location. Your service request has been combined with service request # 497622 . If you would like to check the status of the request, please contact the Public Works Call Center at (510) 615-5566 or pwacallcenter@oaklandnet.com.
