Respectfully, my observation has been that the problem with this location is that the owners of Ace Check Cashing allow casual dumping to go on in its parking lot during the day, do not secure the parking lot at night so that large-scale dumping cannot take place, and do not clean up the property when dumping has occurred. The City of Oakland has its responsibilities, but one of them is not preventing dumping or cleaning up dumping on private property that the owners can take care of themselves. I know as an employee it may be awkward for you to share this information with your bosses, but perhaps there is a way to get the information to them. The way the owners of Ace Check Cashing on 90th Avenue in Oakland are neglecting their property is both a blight and a health-hazard. Perhaps that's where the City of Oakland can step in and force the company owners to do the job they're supposed to be doing.
