Public Works doesn't handle this kind of issue. Please contact Code Enforcement (510) 238-3381 to report this blight. Give the accurate address. They are helpful, but the process takes time for the inspector to verify the blight, a notice to be sent to the property owner, a response time for the property owner to abate the blight, etc.. Take notes, follow-up according to the timeline they give you.
