Thank you.

Called #510-615-5556 and was told by the representative that since illegal construction is on a private property it is under the jurisdiction of Code Enforcement Dept. The rep also said that it has already been forwarded to the correct dept and gave me Tel # 510-238-3381 to follow up with them. I am also providing some additional picture showing in progress construction activity.

Just to remove any confusion, my property address is 9527, Edes Ave and unauthorized construction is at the back of my property owned by someone.

6pm right now and loud noise coming from the site. Looks like home owner is back from work and working on his illegal construction project.

Homeowner is now working on his illegal construction project.

Called Code Enforcement Dept 510-238-3381 and told me they have not received any info form this site, even though rep I called ealier told me they forwarded to this dept. Provided detail info to the rep I spoke and will send an Inspector to locate the property where violation is going on. He didn't give me any ref # yet.

Yesterday dropped by City of Oakland Code Enforcement office located Suite 2340 of 250 Frank H Oggawa Plaza and formally filed written compliant with supporting pictures. An Inspector was assigned and Case # 1502617 initiated.

Roof installed during the weekend and construction complete.

From start to finish construction activities in p.rogress

This case is bouncing from one inspector to another for reason not known to me. Called City of Oakland Code-enforcement services dept today and found out that another inspector Mr. R Walker has been assigned. Earlier Mr. Ivan was assigned as inspector, but has not inspected. It's been more than 5 business days since complaint filed with City of Oakland (Complaint # 1502617) also and inspection not been done yet.

I am losing my patience and will soon push this issue through Social Medias and through my Councilman.

After I left message for Mr. Walker on 08/04, he called me late of the day. Told me he didn't see any construction. I told him that unauthorized cons is visible from backyard of my property. He is scheduled to come tomorrow between 10:30am-1pm at my property. Let see if he comes.

Inspector Mr. Robert came to my property and saw the unauthorized construction at my adjacent property visible from my backyard. He took some pics and told me that address I mentioned is not the right address. He will find out right address. Called today Code-enforcement services dept and Mr Robert didn't put in the system any information other than that an inspection was scheduled on 08/06. Not sure what is going on

Issue is resolved
