City of Oakland Public Works Agency addressed this issue on 04/16/2013, service request # 455118.

This is still an open item, it has never been addressed and it's been a problem for years.

Why does the DPW say "closed" when the problem HAS NOT been fixed AND they give no explanation for saying it's closed?

City of Oakland Public Works Agency referred this issue to CODE ENFORCEMENT, service request # 455882. Please contact that agency to follow-up. For more information, please visit the "Helpful Links to Other Resource Partners" at the link below.

Thank you.

don't just cover the paint - demolish it or let it go - either way it's an eyesore

Public Works Dept. refers this issue (service request 455882) to the Code Engforcment Dept. which is supposed to resolve complaints of violations, public nuisance structures or conditions, graffiti "which are causing a blight upon the neighborhood".

There's NOTHING on Code Enforcement web site/link for this particular issue except a phone no. for "blight on private property". (510) 238-3381 Can somebody local please call? Am myself in Eastern Time zone for weeks to come...

Why the government leave so many close comments here?!

Still a problem.

Thanks to NewBirth church

New church cleaned it up.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
