matteess abandoned on sidewalk across the street from 394 E 8th

There is a house that has been storing a pile of various large construction and housing debris, including mattresses, sharp objects, and building materials, for many months. This is an eyesore for the neighborhood and very unsafe.

Someone left mattress on the side of the road next to a fence on Waldemar

Electronic and mattress other trash in the rear. Not helping our rat problem.

My neighbors are dumping again. New mattress on the sidewalk. Please ticket them, they do this incessantly

Mattress abandoned, the mattress pickup site on the Boston website says Ellingwood st is not eligible for pickup, which shouldn’t be the case as each unit is individually owned. Not an apartment complex

Mattress left on sidewalk

FOLLOW-UP to case #BCS-00253677, which was closed as "resolved" only because DPW collected the trash. The underlying violation was never inspected or addressed, and the same condition is back one week later. Location: 71-75 Kilsyth Rd, Brighton, MA 02135 (apartment building, managed by Chestnut Hill Realty). Photo taken this evening, the night BEFORE collection day, so the condition is visible now. Current violations visible in the photo: 1. Barrels are overflowing with lids propped open and trash spilling out (Art. 23, Sec. 8 — overfilling; property owner/manager is responsible for providing adequate barrels for tenants). 2. Numerous loose bags piled on the ground and sidewalk outside any container (Art. 23, Sec. 5 — trash must be stored in a barrel with a tight-fitting lid). 3. Cardboard boxes being used as trash containers, which is not permitted. 4. A discarded mattress left at the curb. Mattresses must be scheduled for collection and cannot be placed out with regular trash. This happens every single collection week. Animals tear the loose bags open overnight and scatter trash across the sidewalk and street, which is a hazard to children and dogs and an ongoing rodent attractant. I am requesting a code enforcement inspection of the property and a citation to the owner/manager — not another DPW pickup. A pickup does not fix a recurring violation. Please have an inspector visit in the evening before collection or early in the morning before the truck arrives, when the condition is present. I am happy to provide dated photos from multiple weeks.
