Description
There is a new homeless camp in the trashed area ignored by the City of Raleigh. There are mattresses, blankets, pillows, multiple empty King Cobra bottles. The owner of this property needs to be fined and held accountable for what is taking place on their land.
This trashed area was most recently reported over 3 weeks ago and acknowledged by the city 20 days ago. This is not the first time this issue has been brought to the city's attention. As of today there have been no updates regarding this area.
This issue is a danger to all the residents living in Renaissance Park, and should have been addressed the first time it was reported. If you let an area remain trashed eventually homeless people will move in, since the area looks ignored. It is only a matter of time until a crime is committed as a result of this. Please take action now.

Thanks for reporting. I have referred this to the City’s Housing and Environmental Inspections Division. When the inspectors have had a chance to investigate I will post an update.
The owner of record of this property is State Farm Mutual Insurance Company, 1 State Farm Plaza, Bloomington, IN 61701-4300

In the mean time it is not all State Farm's fault. Something has to be done about the dumpsters and the homeless. I think someone is talking with the owners of International Foods.
Thank you everyone for your support with this issue. Thank you City of Raleigh for notifying State Farm and being receptive to our issue.

Do something about this or we will (Guest)
start a program to forcefully relocate people without a valid address or valid proof of a round-trip airline ticket & proof of accommodation in a hotel / motel out of Wake County (with a choice of either free one way flights to California (LAX / SFO) or 155 days jail time for vagrants who are caught)

Do not close other people's issues as only cities and towns are allowed to do that (close issues)
BTW: if the trash on the property continues to be a problem then COR CAN require fences around the property in exchange for NOT condemning the property as a danger to the public
