City of Oakland Nuisance Abatement

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for contacting the Department of Public Works regarding this matter. For Drug related issues please contact the Oakland Police Department's Drug Hotline at (510) 238-3784. For other Oakland Police Department enforcement issues please contact the non emergency line at (510) 777-3333.

Thank you.

I just got the message that the city has addressed the campers at the top of Filbert St and the bike seller and therefore closed this one. Just went by this morning on my way to work - looks absolutely the same as when I came home from work the day before - Pretty much getting to believe SCF is a waste of time. If I didn't work I could spend an hour or two each day chasing down someone in the tangled web of city beaucracy

Kind of makes u wonder what is really going on. Do they close the issue before or after clean up or just let it go. Oakland just never changes.

It's not "the city" closing the issue, it's the Department of Public Works. "Closing" the issue just means the DPW has finished dealing with it; in this case, it means they have (long ago) referred the issue to the appropriate city department.

I have spoken to Mr. English in DPW and in the past his team has done a clean up of this same site, and then I got the message that it was done & closed. Now I get the SCF message that this issue is closed and yet not a thing is changed. I have heard from other people who have gotten the same message that their report was addressed and closed and nothing at all was done. What is the appropriate city dept if not DPW?
