Please also file complaint with code and blight enforcement 510 238-3381 the more of your concerned neighbors that call the better. The fronting property owner is responsible for the maintenance and repair of there sidewalk. See sec 5610 of the Calif State Streets and Highway Code and 12-04 of the Oakland Municipal Code. It takes up to week for an inspector to go out and then they have to give the property owners 30 days to respond not fix the issue. If nothing has happened after 6 week call back. This is how it works and the PWD call center will not do this for you.

Thank you David, I did reached out to the owner directly to clear the weed from property which they did but left the side walk. They cleared 1.5 acre of land but ignored the side walk, it’s really frustrating. It will be reported to code enforcement.
