Fetish Shop Opening with Improper Use Permits in Residential Building Open

126 Market St Philadelphia, PA 19106, USA - Old City

Kink, a fetish boutique, plans to open in a mainly residential building. Per the L&I website, no more than 20% of their space may be used for adult-oriented material. 100% of their material is adult-oriented, as is their advertising and stated business purpose. Homeowners in this building have small children and this business used misleading information to obtain their use permits. www.kinkshoppe.com

They are well aware of the issue. They seem to think that business owners should be valued over residents and homeowners. I would love them to prove me wrong.

Their overt disdain for liquor serving establishments leads me to think the opposite, which is why I suggested it.

I think you are thinking of the occa not the OCD.

And they are already involved. However if the OCD stepped up it could go a long way.

White male in his 40s, accompanied by white male in his 60s, driving a greenish gray BMW X3 minivan was driving at an unsafe speed in the bus and bicycle only lane on the 700 block of Chestnut Street at approximately 2:30 PM on Friday, September, 28, 2012. He cut me off and honked at me for riding in the bicycle lane. I took the attached photograph after he parked his vehicle in a loading zone on the 200 block of S. 6th St.

Right between 5th and 4th on Arch St is a shopping cart filled with trash. The cart is on the south side of the street. It might be owned by the Holiday Inn and is being used illegally.

Excessive noise from Cuba Libre Open

1-25 S 2nd St Philadelphia, PA 19106, USA - Old City

Cuba Libre is extremely loud with its club program. It is extremely distracting and invasive to the neighbors living close to their restaurant.

Litter, public intoxication, general nuisance on Bank Street Open

117-125 Chestnut St Philadelphia, PA 19106, USA - Old City

Club 27 recently rebranded as Blurr. They slapped on some new paint, but they're still over-serving and their patrons are still littering, urinating and throwing up all over Bank Street.

Starr Garden Playground Gates Locked Open

6th & Lombard Philadelphia, PA - Society Hill

I took my kids to Starr this morning around 9:30 and found the playground gates on both Lombard and 6th Streets were chained closed.

I called 311 and they transferred me to Starr's, unattended, office.

I called back and got disconnected while being bounced around a transfer queue.

Does anyone know of scheduled maintenance, problems or did someone just oversleep?

I have a lot more pics than posted of this dumpster. See some additional details in link below. The last I heard from 311 license and inspection came out and said the issue was unfounded?!

Homeless Trespassing Open

725 Walnut St Philadelphia, PA - Society Hill

For the past year, a homeless couple has been sleeping on the steps of Chops Restaurant, and using these steps to intravenously shoot drugs as well; I live at 725 Walnut Street, and to be honest, this block is turning into Skid Row, because there are 5 other homeless people who sleep on other steps on this block.....what can be done to help and protect me and my family, who pay rent here and shop at all nearby businesses.

I contacted Chops via their Facebook page 2-3 weeks ago with these same concerns. Whoever runs their page (I assume their manager) responded that the best he can do is keep the lights on as he has tried to bribe them to keep them away with no luck. From what I've seen, the lights to their main entrance are sometimes on, the lights to the entrance across from our door are either never on or are very weak.

What was just the two of them on one step has turned into 3-6 on any given night between the two sets of stairs. Just last week, I heard them arguing.. "You have a fu&^%ng bag of heroin on you!, you need to get up".

I have never seen them shoot up directly, but have seen them taking turns covering themselves with blankets while the other plays lookout. Sometimes they are obviously messed up out of their minds (staring off into space and falling over while struggling to sit up, etc..). One such time prompted me to call homeless outreach (the only non-emergency number I could find, in hindsight I should have and shall just call 911 directly), who as I said before, just brought them food and nothing more.

At the very least, there has to me more Chops can do to prevent them from squatting on their property.

Came home from dinner tonight around 8 and saw them shooting up. Called the cops immediately with a full description of their appearances and location. It's now 10pm and no sign of any cops (except for the squad car literally 25 yards away blocking traffic for the construction zone). I love how you can over-park by 5 minutes 10 feet in front of these steps and PPA is all over you, but if you are openly using illegal drugs it seemingly requires a mayoral mandate to have get anything done.

I don't understand why the cops don't do anything-When those go into starbucks to use the bathroom they often leave their needles in there-that's so dangerous. It's all so ridiculous

Filbert Alley Open

46-54 N 3rd St Philadelphia, PA - Old City

Clean up Filbert alley in Old City

2012-08-19 · Reported by CAL (Guest) · · Flag Flagged

Joe Schiavo (Guest)

If it is the surface of the street that you are addressing, Wistar Alley (a.k.a.Filbert Street) west of N. Third Street, has been vacated by the City, and is a private street jointly owned by the property owners north and south of the street. This privately-owned street is an easement, allowing others to use the street to access the rear of properties that face on both Market Street and N third Street Repairs are the respondibility of the owners, not the City. However, it is also a historic street, and all repair work done by the two owners must be carried out under approval by both the Historical Commission and the Streets Department.
