The inspecter will be out there later today.

The orders went out to the owner this morning. I will continue to follow up.

So far things have been pretty effective.... NOT. The pile keeps getting bigger not smaller....

Zoning is absolutely useless .... they won't enforce squat. Health at least gets him to clean up after getting on him. So when is Canton going to get serious about better and more beautiful neighborhoods? Cause with this fellow and all the previous complaints over the same thing we aren't getting anywhere. How about putting this property on a watch list and going by once a week since the problem never really stops here.

It's a real shame that on a main entrance into town things look like this on a continual basis especially when the property is not even ZONED for this kind of activity. Zoning has said previously that it is a trespassing issue not a zoning issue. Bull .... Elsass Team Center is defunct ... they'll never doing anything about it. So if I decide to run a business out of a vacant lot then there is nothing zoning can do to me ... correct? May as well dissolve the department since there isn't anything they can do that's useful.

What do you think Councilman?

OK .... the original complaint dates back to 1/19/15 #1146852 which was never followed up and finished. After the initial cleanup there was still leftovers..... Now the pile is growing larger as of the picture today. This fellow has had at least 5 previous complaints doing the same thing in the same lot. So when are we going to get serious about keeping our neighborhoods looking nice? He continues to ignore the city and the neighborhood and continue making things look like for lack of a better term ... a big pile of sh!t... How about putting this property on a driveby schedule once a week because the problem is never going to go away as long as he is here in Canton. If he wants to pile crap up then buy a piece of commercial property that's zoned for a garbage transfer station. He doesn't seem to have an issue buying property so go buy a piece for the dam# business. So far zoning has proved to be utterly useless. Health at least gets him to clean up after getting on him every time. I personally like the elect Kim Perez sign at the end of the driveway ... is this what Canton is going to look like with someone this guy wants as Mayor? Sorry for going on but this gets to the point of ridiculousness :)

Ok, just talked to Ron. He stated that he will have the dumpster filled today. We'll keep on him. Thanks also for keeping up on it and wanting to get the neighborhood cleaned up. Mark

Thanks :) Probably have to drop him one more after that by my guesstimation. Oh ... and an apology to Zoning while I'm at it... I just get fed up with dealing with this every time I turn around and then the keyboard just takes off LOL I think that Nuisance Officer Council keeps talking about would be a really good thing in the city ... lord knows it's probably more than a full time job and the rest of you guys could use some help :)

As of today has the one on site filled but will still need another to finish up the stuff still scattered around the site. Thanks Mark :)

You are welcome. Ron and I again talked yesterday. We have a pretty good texting/talking relationship with him as well as he does with the 3 inspectors. MA

LOL that just means you have to deal with him way too much ;)

Hey guys.... time for another text / call and some hand holding :) He still needs to finish cleaning up .... He's had plenty of time since the original complaint in January (being as we're coming up on the middle of April now). Thanks :) Isn't like he doesn't have a dumpster just begging to be filled up :)

Can you guys pass this off to code at this point ... They'll probably have to follow up with this to finish getting things cleaned up.

521.11 STORAGE OF JUNK AND JUNK VEHICLES.
(a) No person shall repair, wreck, dismantle or store any motor-driven vehicle on a sidewalk, public street or other public place or store junk, wreckage parts of motor-driven vehicles or used building materials on a sidewalk, public street or other public place.
No person shall wreck, dismantle or store the wreckage parts of motor-driven vehicles, junk or any used building materials on any open parcel of ground not enclosed by a fence seven feet in height constructed of tight board construction or paling fence, pales not to be less than three-and-one-half inches in width, or more than three inches apart, or wire fence of not less than No. 8 wire and not less than one-and-one-half inch mesh. The fence shall be constructed not closer to the street than the building line, and shall withstand a thirty-pound per square foot wind pressure. Such fence shall meet the approval of the Chief Building Official or his designee, and a permit shall be required for its construction.
(b) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor on a first offense; on each subsequent offense such person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.

I believe that should cover the scrap stacked and the building materials on the lot. Parking is fine but the rest of the garbage really needs to go :)

On 4/20/2015 this case was closed by the Health Dept. It was refered to Building Dept.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
