There is a growing homeless encampment in the woods owned by the Knights of Columbus behind the Carrier facility on Corporation Parkway. Trash, shopping carts, couches, human waste, noise, and safety concerns are the result. Despite this being on private land this has created a public nuisance and will lower property values. This MUST be addressed by the city!!!

Outside our scope of duty, you can contact the police department at 919-831-6311; this is the non-emergency police number, and this street is maintained by NCDOT. Call 1-877-DOT-4YOU (1-877-368-4968) on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

So human waste in the outdoors next to occupied housing is permissible in the City of Raleigh. Wouldn’t a health hazard violate code?
