Somebody posted on the previous ticket about this home, that this was a hole cut by a firm called Plumbing Ministry.

Public Works should contact the owner of that company and make him pay for the work done.

I agree that the contractor should be required to make this repair right away. Why isn't the (new or old) homeowner (at the address given) involved in getting this matter resolved? Seeing a lot of these "holes" in the last couple of years. Is/was the property for sale?

Plumbing Ministry is one of if not the worst offenders. But a lot of the blames go's to Code Enforcement. They permit these sewer replacement lobs they inspect the job and they sign off on the job. So if code enforcement is doing there JOB why doe's the City of Oakland have so many failed sewer lateral replacement patch's. Please contact code enforcement and ask for a supervisor and have them explain want happened. FYI they work for you.

Code Enforcement (510) 238-3381. You don't have to give your
(real) name, but take down the record # that they'll give you for the complaint.
