The city closed this issue saying it has been addressed. It has not. The area smells really bad, and something is oozing from it. Please clean this up. It's on the public sidewalk.

Another angle...

What is with PWD and waste management they are paid and paid very well to clean this crap up. If the city and waste management are unable to it. Then bring in hazmat crew. But no make the taxpaying public suffer some more.

I don't get it either. It was really frustrating to walk by there yesterday and see that the ticket had just been closed without them addressing it. It was so smelly, I gagged.

Why isn't someone being held accountable for closing issues that have not been addressed?

Yet again closed, but not resolved. And someone is living on the sidewalk in that mess.

That's probably why they don't want to deal with it because someone is there. Oakland can't deal with the homeless.

Thank you.

This seemed like an easy fix, that PW couldn't handle.

This poor man is still on the sidewalk.

You might want to call operation dignity yourself and see what they say. Most don't want help, but it's worth a try.

Close please
