Thanks David, I have reported the situation to ABC. These guys are violating two out of three (I'm not around often enough to know if loitering is a problem). I did see the following statement that would indicate they may be allowed to exist across from the school:

"The law says ABC may deny any retail license located (a) within the immediate vicinity of churches and hospitals, or (b) within at least 600 feet of schools, public playgrounds and nonprofit youth facilities. Generally, ABC will deny a license in the above situations when there is evidence that normal operation of the licensed premises will be contrary to public welfare and morals. Mere proximity by itself is not sufficient to deny the license."

As of September 8 the damaged dumpster has been replaced by a newer one, but as can be seen in the photo it remains uncovered, tagged, and there is trash on the ground surrounding it. Is this acceptable in Oakland, overflowing dumpsters on the sidewalk? It's disgraceful.

I guess they are not required to recycle, Why the double standard. They demand that the residents recycle everything so what is up with this disaster???
