"A few photos serve to show the contempt with which this firm regards its neighbors on this project." Al, thanks for sharing these photos.
Last week, I noticed that Campus Apts continues to violate city trash rules. I photographed 4 consecutive weeks beginning on Feb 12. They toss unrecycled garbage on the sidewalks from the Campus Inn to beige block starting around 3:30PM http://home.earthlink.net/~rwelter322/Campus/ Of course, UCD/Penn doesn't care. The fact that Dexter Bryant knows nothing and sees nothing about the continuous violations is understandable. UCD is accountable to Campus Apts, Penn, and the gang. They want long term residents intimidated but don't want fines for themselves. But why do these city agencies give a free pass? L & I, like the streets department, are known to harass some people for no reason. The Department of Streets has a "working relationship" with UCD to harass the neighborhood with completely bogus trash tickets. Yet Campus Apts can boldly do whatever it wants. Contempt is the correct word!

A few photos serve to show the contempt with which this firm regards its neighbors on this project. a.. The first of the photos shows the alley between the west side of 4300 Spruce and the adjacent building on Spruce Street. Campus Apts does not use a chute to discard construction and demolition debris directly into a Dumpster. The workers just throw the rubbish out of the windows and let it sit in the alley until they have a big enough load to remove. (Probably an L&I violation, but I'm not a dime-dropper.) Note that the entrance to the neighbor's building is on the side, so the residents have to walk past the strewn trash to get into their homes. Also note that some of the trash ends up on the neighbor's side, and that the fence was damaged when it was hit with a heavy object (see where it's bowed to the right near the cable reel -- empty, by the way, but not removed) and Campus Apts has made no effort to repair it. b.. The second photo shows how they dug up the sidewalk on Spruce Street, from the building to the curb line, and left it dug up, without providing a safety barrier on the roadway for pedestrians to walk past the dirt-filled hole. It's been this way for over two weeks. This may be another L&I violation.
