I took these pictures on 19 June 2009 (last Friday night) at the corner of 62nd Street and 20th Terrace. By then, this pile of trash had been in front of the house since Thursday morning.
I definitely wasn't the only one complaining to code enforcement and Betty Shelly. :-) The mess was eventually cleaned up. Apparently the house had been foreclosed on and the company hired by the Sheriff's office to evict the residents just threw all this stuff out on the street.
I'd like to get more details, and as Betty mentioned in an email, we as a community need a plan of action on how to handle events like these. On thing that can definitely help is taking pictures of any flagrant violations and posting them here ASAP. That way everyone can see what is going on and be compelled to take action. This particular case was highly visible because it was on 62nd and as a result created a firestorm.
