Ticket #1820353. Ticket forwarded to Neighborhood Services for follow-up.
The request will be dispatched for inspection. The process for resolution is as follows:
pictures will be taken of the violation and notices will be sent to property owner (thirty business days).
Property owners will have a specified time (twenty business days) to comply with the violation notice. Once the compliance period is over, a re-inspection of the property will occur (ten business days).
If owner complies with the notice (cleans the vacant lot), no work will be performed by the City and the case will be closed.
If the owner does not comply, a City Crew will be assigned to clean the property (thirty business days) and the property owner will be billed for all cost associated with the clean up.
This process may take up to 90 days from the initial request to the date of the clean up, possibly longer in the summer months.

Thanks, mb, for putting this on your radar screen. 90 days? Wow. The shame of this is that other than the overgrown weeds, the owner is not responsible for the trash. The trash comes from the property next door at 178. They use the lot as their personal trash can.

The situation still exists.

Lot has finally been cleaned after being reported over 4 months ago. Now the problem remaining is how does one get the store at 178 W. Master to stop dumping their trash on the freshly cleaned lot?
