I'm not sure why this was closed, as tenants have made no noticeable effort to clean up.

Thanks for the extra information, is this on the Manhattan side of the building? I was looking on the Washington Street side which was definitely cleaned up. Photos are always welcome as it can help us pinpoint and avoid this kind of confusion. Thanks!

Thanks! The main area is on the Manhattan side of the building, there's still a fair number of piles elsewhere, but the side yard is the worst area by far.

I will be in touch with the landlord this morning, Thanks!

thank you!
