I submitted a prior comment with this same picture but my language was obviously inappropriate. The COV doesnt like being confronted and told about their failings when it comes to not enforcing the laws regarding these situations. The city doesnt act fast enough in my opinion to curb the influx of homeless camps in this town. When a camp, such as the one i have posted at least 6 or 7 times, is not stopped in its tracks, this is what happens. My question is , who is going to pay for the cleanup of this filth?

Thank you for reporting! A Code Enforcement Officer has now been assigned to inspect the possible violation(s). Since this is occurring on private property, there is due process involved and the City must first seek voluntary compliance of the violations from the property owner to fix the violation(s). This process may not yield a quick response, but we do our best to work with the property owner to get the violations corrected. You may visit the following link to view the case information for Code Violations online at http://web.ci.vallejo.ca.us/eTRAKiT3/ (please allow several business days for the information to upload). SeeClickFix is one of the many tools available to the citizens of Vallejo to report non-emergency issues. We “close” an issue in SeeClickFix once we've acknowledged the complaint; however, this issue is not "Closed" per se; it will remain an "Open" case with us until it is corrected. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please let us know. Thank you for using SeeClickFix!

The issue has already been assigned (again) and has a eTRAKiT case number of CE19-0249 And is scheduled for a follow up visit at the end of the month.

Please do not close this request until this camp is evicted and trashed removed. I drove by this mess this morning and it is still there and very much a hazard to the community and the environment.

I've witnessed the inhabitants of this camp (and the one I reported earlier that was closed because it's on state property) walk down Sacramento Street to the corner of Redwood and 29 and then stand on the corner holding up signs asking for money. The drug usage and activity alone at this camp should be enough for VPD to do something.

I have gone back to previous reports from myself on this property and have found that i reported this site starting back on 1-15-2017 and have reported it at least 14 TIMES since that date!!!! What does that tell you COV about yourself? Nothing is getting done, especially in a timely manner. You people down at the COV need to take a different approach to these vacant property owners, because what your doing now is not working.

The city is going to have to hire a hazmat team to clean this one up! The site extends throughout the whole marshy area, contaminating the WHOLE area with human waste, garbage and filth beyond belief! Im totally frustrated with the response and action regarding any of these homeless camps that exist for as long as a year and get shuffled through the bureaucracy of the COV. These sites and its inhabitants are BREAKING numerous LAWS and nothing is being done! Sereno Dr., Wilson Ave, Redwood street and many more!

This is getting worse by the day, summer will bring more. There is so much garbage and waste. They need to be moved on and the site needs to be cleaned up, this will cost us thousands I'm sure, more the longer we wait.

William, this is why I am focusing my anger at our city government and officials along with the employees that do the work, rather than the encampments. The only way we will get results is to follow up and hold them accountable. When I looked up this property on eTRAKiT, Code enforcement had erroneously attached this encampment to the parking lot of the furniture store. When I posted all of the case numbers And told them they overlooked it, I get a case number with a different address. Same thing for the old Kmart parking lot. If you look on Vallejo prospectors parcel map the address is 520 Redwood St., yet code enforcement has an address of 510, which does not exist, yet they use the “ non-address”. So when you referred to look up the case on eTRAKiT, as they tell us to do, you get incorrect information and that seems like they need to pay more attention to the details. The encampment could’ve been cleaned up by now if they had been on the job and correct about the address and not closed the issue when they cleaned up the furniture store parking lot. This is just one of several issues that just can’t seem to be solved, no matter how many times you present it.

Artsem, i can go to content statistics and see every comment and complaint i have ever made on this site. Going back to 2017 i have been reporting this homeless camp or multiple camps in this area. I have given the city the name of the property owner, as you know, not sure after you did your research showing a different owner. These sites just seem to jell after awhile. I dont think the city can even keep up,and it shows. Deej used to say that i dwelled on this issue to much, but i feel the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I also feel that if i dont report these sites no one else well. Keep pounding the city over and over and they will eventually get around to doing something, in my opinion, Do or say nothing these sites will continue and grow, as evident of the site on sereno dr., and the one on wilson ave.

Too true, it’s not just Vallejo that’s ill-equipped to handle the influx of homeless. And you’re right, reporting, it’s the only way to get the problem remedied. What ever it takes, directing state & city funds to this issue, addressing the lack of shelter and services for the indigent and disabled or elderly, patrol officers that can act without having the entire community beg for action. Or just good old plain enforcement of the existing laws and codes. Just because the court ruled that you can’t arrest somebody for sleeping in public doesn’t mean that it’s now OK to trespass where clearly marked. And I don’t think that we were running around arresting people for sleeping on the sidewalk, but once you’ve established your tent and other accommodations in a public place you are bound by the same rules as everybody else.
