Any update on this issue? It appears that only an automated response is occurring when new pics are posted or updates are asked for.
Looks like someone finally cleaned up the trash (for now). However, what is being done about the following Richmond city ordinance's that are being violated going on several YEARS now? Are these posted ordinance's still in effect and being enforced?
Sec. 34-302. - Commercial property owner responsible for supervision of receptacles.
The owner of a commercial operation and/or the owner of the property on which a commercial operation is located shall maintain constant supervision and surveillance over the garbage, trash and refuse receptacles servicing the commercial operation and the area surrounding the receptacles and shall sanitize the receptacles at least weekly and not allow any garbage, trash or refuse to collect outside the receptacles. (Ord. No. 2003-16, § 1, 11-11-2003)
Sec. 34-303. - Receptacles to be placed after effective date of ordinance.
The owner of a commercial operation and/or the owner of the property on which a commercial operation is to be located after the effective date of the ordinance from which this division is derived shall provide a level all-weather surface or pad on which all garbage, trash and refuse receptacles servicing the commercial operation shall be placed. A level pad and screening from public view shall always be required. The term "pad" as used herein means an all-weather surface designed to withstand 10,000-pound single wheel loads. The pad and access shall be of sufficient size to allow placement of a receptacle or receptacles, construction of screening, and allow access from the owner's or operator's driveway or parking lot to a private hauler. Access shall not be directly to a public street or alley. (Ord. No. 2003-16, § 2, 11-11-2003)
Finally....the below ordinance is the one neighbors want to see enforced. The blue Allied Waste dumpster sits out in the open all the time. There are no gates attached to this fenced in area. Plus, there are boards missing to the fence.
Sec. 34-304. - Fence required.
A fence no less than six feet tall but at least 12 inches taller than the tallest dumpster inside through which no light may pass shall surround such area. Such fence shall be sight obscuring with a gate with a latch, to secure the doors when closed, to allow the placement of garbage, trash and refuse in said receptacles as well as access for a private hauler. Such gates shall be closed and latched at all times except when opened to provide access to the receptacles. Gates may be left open during regular business hours on each regularly scheduled collection day.
(Ord. No. 2003-16, § 3, 11-11-2003)
