All this crap is offensive.These spray vandals are trespassing on the Caltrans freeway easement to vandalize the storage company building. They also damaged the fence and gate to trespass several times. In a few years they will IQs of 40 and COPD.

I have been trying for decades to get the 200 feet of graffiti on the back of the Public Storage building. Code Compliance is a waste of time. I had Caltrans put a new fence and NO TRESPASSING signs in multiple locations. The Public Storage building has 0 clearance on the freeway side. That means that the taggers are standing on Caltrans property and spraying the graffiti into the City of Oakland. OPD claims no jurisdiction. CHP won't come out either to stake out at night and make arrests. I filed a claim for damages against Public Storage (Connecticut Storage Fund) in Glendale, CA 10 years ago, no response. .The building is, literally, a 3-story, plywood box and will not stand a significant earthquake. We should not forget that the City of Oakland is getting tax revenue from this eyesore. More favoritism to the rich owners of this building. I am looking for litigation partners to take the owners of Public Storage to court to get an permanent injunction requiring the owners to clean up the mess and keep it that way or face a $1000.00 a day in court fines.

There was a group in the Dimond that got rid of the Hill Top/ Crest motel at Lincoln and MacArthur by several people taking them to small claims? As with this everything moves at a snails pace. They are vandalizing, damaging state property the fence and gate to perform criminal trespass of state property to vandalize this private property. I have filed several MSR/CSRs over this ongoing mess. I will look into the small claims thing. What are the costs to litigate?

I just received a email form Caltrans concerning this issue. They reported that the gate is not damaged and has a new lock and the fence is secure and the damage to the building needs to reported the company that owns it. Caltrans CSR ticket number 699041.

The Small Claims fees are: $1500 or less, $30, $1500-$5000, $50 $5000-$10,000, $75.
Since the graffiti at Public Storage is a serious community problem and clearly lowers property values, it is very advisable to have as many people banding together to take this matter to court. Having a witness from the real estate community testifying as an expert witness to the effective of this blight on housing prices. I am also licensed to practice real estate in California, The graffiti started in 1989 and I have a photo of that and an enforcement letter from the City of Oakland. Complaints from SeeClickFix are also admissible as evidence. Public Storage's defense will be that they are a "victim" of taggers.

I would like to get involved??? davecanon1@gmail.com Is there any interested parties from Glen Friends??? That Oakland does not enforce is own graffiti laws and Caltrans does not stop or enforce the criminal trespassing is up to Public Storage to deal with. So taking them to court seem like the only solution after 20 years of endless blight.

The City of Oakland must be blind or completely corrupt. There is 200 feet of horrible graffiti on the freeway side of the building and the building in within the city limits of Oakland. Code Compliance has done NOTHING for years about this graffiti. It's clear that the City of Oakland will NEVER DO ANYTHING.

The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution provides that EVERYONE is entitled EQUAL PROTECTION of the law, including the City of Oakland Blight Ordinance. The City of Oakland has allowed this billionaire corporation, Public Storage, to get away with blighting my neighborhood since 1989. I made a complaint about this more than 700 days ago. Closing public complaints to avoid legal responsibility for a very serious problem defines, in my opinion, a truly dysfunction civil service in Oakland. I can see the Public Storage building from my living room and the building is covered with massive graffiti. I have seen this mess for YEARS and YEARS, but you closed the complaint?

The sidewalk is probably litigation worthy under ADA.

I already filed one formal complaint with the ADA. They stated they DID NOT HAVE JURISDICTION in Oakland and did nothing. The State of California has a disabled rights complaint process, but I haven't tried that avenue yet. I already complained to the Disabled Rights Compliance Administrator in the Office of the City Administrator. She told me there were many other such complaints, but apparently is going to do nothing other than document complaints and file them.
