Case: T13DV05662
Case Details
Entered Date:
08/05/2013
Applicant:
DARCY DAWN HUTSON & STEPHENS DAN LEE JT/RS
Description:
Back yard full of trash. Chain link fence is tarped off and the gate is held together with plywood. Trash is left hanging off their gate regularly into the alley. This is primarily because they overfill the dumpster the day it is picked up. They overfill it to the point where the three other houses that are supposed to share said dumpster cannot dispose of their trash. Also due to the fact that they overfill it, the lid will not close and the unbagged trash ends up all over the alley way and the neighboring residents have to clean up their mess constantly. (Complaint also sent to ES)
