Dear Colleen:
Have you spoken to Joe or Diana Tam, owners of Farmer Joe's? They have been EXCEPTIONALLY supportive of their n'hoods (Laurel + Dimond), and I cannot believe they would not act, if they had heard from you.
Please contact them before posting on SeeClickFix.

CLOSE this issue, DPW, until further notice - neighbors can likely resolve this without burdening your resources.

Yes, I have contacted FJ's multiple times. Joe and Diane are both very hard to get a hold of. I've spoken to the manager and the security guard. Our beat problem solving police officer told me to report it on See Click Fix.

This should not be closed unless someone comes to clean this up. Again OPD told me to report this.

35th+MacA: (510) 482-8178
Fruitvale: (510) 482-8899
I shop @ the Dimond (Fruitvale) store, and see either/both Joe and/or Diana there without fail (I saw Joe this afternoon, and I spoke to Diane last night). Ask to speak to them directly; and when you do, be sure to tell them you had no help from the Mgr. nor the security guard!

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has referred this issue to CODE ENFORCEMENT,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).
