Cars parked on corner causing blind spot Open

1529 Morris Street Philadelphia, PA - Newbold neighborhood

1529 Morris Street is the location of a cash checking place. Many times large vans and cars will park in front of this business to "run in"... this causes a large blind spot for cars coming from Mole st who can not see any cars, bikes or buses coming down Morris St.

Signs should be posted on all these small South Philadelphia intersections to enforce cars that park less than 20 ft from corner.

You would be lucky if they did not just park blocking the intersection as they cash their checks. PPA please enforce this dangerous issue.

  This isn't the only problem corner. The corner of morris intersecting 15th, S. Hicks and 16th are usual problem areas. Parents waiting for school buses park their cars by the access ramp. It makes it dangerous to push strollers and for school age kids because they risk getting hit by oncoming traffic to go around these cars. Carpooling vans also park illegally while they wait for all their passengers. This is a big problem in the morning when kids are walking to school.

Constant Litter! Open

1601 S. Broad Street Philadelphia, PA - Passyunk Square

This corner of Broad and Tasker is a constant mess. The property is owned by the city and I would think they would want to have someone sweep up daily. It would take 5 mins a day and make a huge difference.

  Get in touch with South Broad St Neighborhood Association http://sbsna.org/
  
  I believe they're the ones that asked that the trash cans be removed from the corners.
  They have the resources to keep this corridor looking nice.

  This ugly signage on corner bodegas is rampant all over the City. It is visual pollution, cluttering already cluttered streets and depressing property values. We must work together with neighborhood organizations and get City Council to pass an ordinance that has stiff penalties for every illegal sign. Unpaid penalties can be levied against a property. The fines collected can pay for roving surveillance teams to keep the signage from mushrooming again.

  Anna Maria -- there are already laws against it. It requires L&I Enforcement to come write tickets.

Unkempt box truck safety hazard Open

Moore & Mole St Philadelphia, PA - Newbold neighborhood

A box truck is kept at the corner of Moore and Mole all the time. The owner operates a chase car to hold the spot on the suspicious AM runs (2am-9am) he does make with the truck. The truck is graffiti'd. Often w/ profanity. The truck is always parked partially on sidewalk. The truck creates a blind spot for children and pedestrians.

Black Male with hoodie on checking door handles Open

1501 Morris St Philadelphia, PA - Newbold neighborhood

On April 30th around 4:30pm it was about 70 degress but an early 20 year old black male with light to med complextion was seen looking into every car window and checking door handles.

He had his hoodie up even though it was HOT out when walking south on 15th street. He was so close to every car he passed by that he touched most of them. This is an image of the suspect when I drove around the block to have my passenger take the photo.

911 was called but I'm not sure if they got the guy.

  Who, exactly, do you expect to fix this? Calling 911 was the right solution. Posting a complaint on 311/SeeClickFix is totally pointless -- this forum is not meant for police issues. This isn't a pothole or broken lamppost. If you just want to rant about the local youth, the South Philly Review provides a lovely echo chamber in which to do so.

El Soto Deli & Grocery Secuirty Gate Graffiti - 1649 South 15th Street Open

1649 South 15th Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Newbold neighborhood

El Soto Deli & Grocery Secuirty Gate Graffiti

Front, Side, Top, Bottom

This store should be boycotted until they clean up their act. Think if they can't even clean up after their store front when it's closed think if they actually wash their hands when they make you food. I have to see this crap when I bring my kids to the playground.

Washing your hands and washing your store front goes and and hand. When you are OPEN or Closed for Business after filing chapter 11 from this boycott. YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED if you CAN NOT Clean your gates when you are not taking money from people.

  Anyone can pickup a broom as much as they can pickup a paint brush. To allow this urban blight be ignored for months is not acceptable. As a victim stupid kids, I wouldn't let litter just sit around, at one point you have to pick it up yourself or it will get out of control.
  
  You don't have to pay anyone to clean up litter, nor do you have to pay anyone to paint gray over your metal gates. So washing your hands is just as important as cleaning the public toilet bowl when it comes to the food service business. I agree with Jim, and I won't shop here anymore until they clean up their gate.
  
  I wish I could just pay someone to pickup litter infront of my house and wash my car too.
