Old Southeast Neighborhood

Recycling bins full of garbage and construction debris. Not sure who the bins belong too. Bins need to be emptied and returned to their owners or picked up by the city. This has been reported, but request closed because of an issue with the address - these are located at the alley at 146 17th Ave SE - please do not close before looking into this request.

For years now, I have been putting in ticket requests.Since the city has taken away our drainage and our curves. nothing is being done and now, here we are coming into a new hurricane season with one more time of no curbs. the city has admitted guilt many times over this. please send somebody out to meet with me again. So we can come up with a resolution of how we are going to get floodwaters to not boil up on my street, and instead drain down the street to where it is supposed to be.

This sidewalk was damaged by a large uprooted tree which was caused by the recent hurricanes. This had been reported previously but I was told the stump would need to be removed before the repair could be done. The stump is now removed. Please proceed with the repair as this is hazardous situation for pedestrians. Thank you!

Garbage bins and recycling bins have migrated 10-15’ from by the utility pole to the driveway. I’ve moved them back when empty because sometimes they are placed so close to gate we can’t open it to get out - but they keep moving because driver starts forward progress before bins are placed. Originally recycle bins were on west side of pole and trash bins east side.

Both dumpsters in alley behind 210 20th Ave S need repair. They do not close properly and allow rainwater intrusion. u i

Previously submitted special pickup request was closed but items have not been picked up.

Special pick up of old fence panels in the alley

Old wood, etc in alley between 3rd St South and 2nd Street South, between 19th Ave South and 20th Ave South.

This is a special pickup. The pickup consists of some old carpeting and is at the curb, which is where my trash is picked up.

This is a follow up on the previous request from 7/10/24 (ticket #17012748) regarding pool safety concerns at 165 22nd Ave SE.

The property still lacks a proper barrier around the the pool. The new section of fencing does not appear to meet the required 48" height, is not structurally stable, has a noticeable gap between the fence and the house on the left side, and the gate is continuously left open. These issues carry a significant safety risk, especially for children in the area.

As a parent of an autistic child, I need to emphasize that thiscomplaint is not just a simple inconvenienc, or meant to be excessively demanding towards our neighborse—it's a serious safety concern. Statistically, children with autism are 160 times more likely to drown than neurotypical children. This is because many children with autism have a tendency to elope, or wander away from a safe environment, sometimes without warning. This can occur even in families like mine, who are incredibly vigilant.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children with autism. Studies show that 49% of autistic children will elope from a safe environment at some point, and tragically, 91% of deaths among these children are caused by drowning. These statistics are deeply concerning, and underscore why it’s so important that the fencing around pools meets safety standards and are fully secure.

I do not expect households who do not experience the same challenges to fully understand, but I hope that by sharing these facts, it becomes clear how vital it is that this issue is addressed. This is a matter of life and death for families like mine, and the situation continues to pose a risk.

We are a bldg contractor hired to remodel 145 Wildwood LN SE in Saint Petersburg. The Mechanical Inspector Richard has done 3 inspections at the residence and refuses to approve the final mechanical inspection based off of his opinion rather than what is on the stamped, engineer approved/city approved plans. He was rude with our Site Supervisor and refused to look at the plans or the Energy Calculations we had on-site that have been approved by the City and told our Site Supervisor that "He had somewhere else to be." This is costing the homeowner money as they are not able to move into their home until this situation is handled. I have contacted the Building Official by phone twice and by email and so far have received no response.
