That's ridiculous. So, you're saying if I dump a mattress in the middle of the night on your property, the city should find YOU? What's your address?

illegal dumping is also against the law - essentially it's the same law of disposing materials improperly and causing blight.

But for now, we just need to get this tree belt cleaned up!

Landlord Vent Alert: The law is well known. I am talking exactly about that- most of these incidents are illegal- and then, suddenly, it becomes the landlord's burden...THAT should be illegal. Reporting it to be picked up is OK- but if I have to pay a fine, or $50 to schedule a pickup that is illegally dumped, this is massively unfair. I had several incidents where someone decided it would be a great idea to dump their TV or furniture, or mattress on one of my proprties. I called Public works, and once they finally got back to me, I was told I need to have the police come out. Called the police, and they told me to contact Public Works...finally when the Police sheepishly did agree to come out, I was told I had to be there. OK- So I needed to take time off from my own job to meet with a police officer who didn't show up the first time (!!!), to fill out a report so that Public Works would eventually pick it up. Then, suddenly, on SeeClickFix I'm a bad landlord. Suddenly I'm encouraging a slum. This is so bogus. Very easy to judge a landlord, isn't it? Unless its YOU- and YOU have to go through all this crap to clean up some other jerk's illegally dumped junk off of your property. There has to be some way to make this process less annoying/punishing to law-abiding citizens like myself, and not get publicly smeared by ignorant comments. Vent = finished. Thanks for reading.
