Description

This has been an issue that concerns many of my neighbors. There is an exposed yellow tank (presumably holding oil) that is PERMANENTLY there. Furthermore the car is parked against it causing a hazard and interfering with the sidewalk. As I said, we have called on this issue before. First we were told that it's only a temporary tank, which it is not. It has been there for years. That does not constitute temporary. When I saw an inspector trying to make contact, he said they were never home. That does not mean you give up or forget about the dangerous issue. Order them to meet with you. I have never seen an exposed tank in the front of a property like that, It cannot be safe. It is certainly an eyesore. If it is acceptable, then it's ridiculous. The last time I sent in a complaint, I got the runaround and finally a very rude person. This time I am providing pictures and promise to follow up until something is done. I will follow this up the mayor's office. There is no way this exposed hazard with car backed up into it is considered safe. This complaint will also serve as notice if anything does happen with the tank and it's contents. We all feel it's unsafe and unreasonable to have that for everyone to see.
