BOS:311

Type of Work: [Other] Name of Contractor/Utility working: [Other] Are the contractors on-site: [Yes] If posted on poles, What is the TMP# on the posting: [N/A] Time when this occurred: [19:30] Please specify details.: [Constituent wanted to report that there is a contrustruction zone on Essex St but their portapotty is in the alley behind 17 Edinboro. Constituent states that it is dirty and is near their back window. Constituent was hoping that it can be replaced or removed.]

Following up on a previous report, screenshot of report included. As a precursor to the report I’d like it to be stated that 1. the concerns about the condition of our neighborhood have been brought to the city many times. 2. 311 and 911 are the tools we have been given to address issues. 3. We do not think this is an adequate solution and plan to address it further. The goal of this, and therefore these reports is to improve the conditions of our neighborhood for everyone, it’s bad enough that these solutions only address issues AFTER they occur. It is made worse when these solutions are fractured and do not address the goal of improving the neighborhood. To wit, I am dumbfounded that the response to graffiti on this box was to spray over only the graffiti’d area, in a different color than the box itself. This looks as bad and careless as the underlying graffiti and is completely unacceptable. Remove residual tape from the box, and repaint it properly!

What is the nature of the problem: [Constituent reports an illegal auto body shop on the street. Consttuent reports the guy works on cars everyday.]
