Residential Trash out Illegally

Opened: Sep 22, 2025 06:03
Description: Att: Commissioner Del Rio - ISD: Urgent Public Safety Hazard – Request Removal of Red Cross Donation Bins, Back Bay Station (145 Dartmouth/Clarendon, MBTA Property) We request the immediate removal of two Red Cross donation bins recently placed on MBTA property at 145 Dartmouth/Clarendon, pursuant to Boston Municipal Code §9-9.8. The bins are already in decay (broken hinges, graffiti, unserviced since 9/16) and have become a source of repeated hazards: drug use and discarded needles, theft and trading of donations for drugs, sex paraphernalia, vandalism, loud banging doors, loitering with needles near an emergency exit where there are senior citizens, and vehicles illegally blocking the MBTA bus loop. Police have been called multiple times. No registration certificates are posted, making the bins unlawful under §9-9.8. Their unscreened placement also violates §9-9.8(E), as they are in direct view of senior residents’ windows and obstruct safe egress and they do not appear to be approved by the MBTA (DOT). These bins are unlawful, unsafe, and a public nuisance. ISD has clear statutory authority and obligation under §9-9.8 to require removal |
