Description

Hi: I reported this issue last week and the ticket was closed—prematurely. I was woken today at 6:36am by the sound of a dumpster smashing to the ground by waste removal. This is a private company that is contracted by the city to do waste removal at 1932 Geddes, other group houses on Geddes, and the facilities on Oxford. They DO NOT respect the noise ordinance, and begin sometimes as early as 5:40am (according to a report by a neighbor on this site last week). Given that I complained about this in advance, please provide evidence that you are issuing tickets for breaking the noise ordinance. I have said it before: this is more than a minor nuisance. This is about quality of life. The noise ordinance is there for a reason. It should be respected. And if not respected, then the city should enforce it. Feel free to set up a phone call with me about the issue. The waste removal before 7am—and the crashing sound of steel dumpsters that rings through the neighborhood—has to stop.
