I prefer hyperbole less stale. Would you consider substituting "Order Terrorist" for "Trash Nazi"? Liz
---------- Original Message ---------- From: Glenn moyer <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [UC] Trash nazis and renters Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 06:51:15 -0400 (EDT) Neighbors, This morning I'm forced to the bureau of administative adjudication aka Dept. of finance to respond to the trash nazis. This time, three or more tickets were written against the same rental property before I received the first notice 5 months late via mail. Once I had tenants who did violate known trash rules, but not the ones being ticketed. I saw previously at municipal court that these bogus tikets are also driving wedges and causing conflicts between tenants and their landlords for no good reason. Those who do not understand that the trash nazis have absolutely no real standards or accountability find themselves trying to fix blame. (I've also heard neighbors express suspicions of each other.) The last poorly written ticket I received indicates trash overflowing without lid. My tenants have an excellent track record of placing their apartment trash in approved bags. They place these approved bags in trash cans at the side of the house. I have seen that on some occasions the top trash bag is visible above the line of the can. My tenant, who I've known for nine years and who has lived in the building for 30 years, places the trash out according to the rules on trash day. He usually sets this top bag to the side of the cans. Are we to assume that trash bags are no longer legal? Why would a legal trashbag on top of the can constitute a violation whena trash bag with no can at all is not a known violation? When dipshit Deputy Commissioner, Carlton Williams, was given the opportunity to explain to our community newspaper, the University City Review, what will cause violations; he responded that it's obvious that trash is on the premises. When I tracked down this dipshit who refuses to answer the phone, he could only repeat the UCD mantra about "cleaner and safer" and tell me that his nazis wanted to educate the community about trash. These trash nazis, whether they are sitting at UCD headquarters waiting for addresses or (as I was recently old) are cruising in city cars writing down addresses, are not following any guidelines! Why can't the citizens receive written guidelines before they discover that anything on ones porch is illegal and what was legal for years is now illegal? Either way the "adjudicator" rules today, I'm going to try to get into the offices where they refuse to answer the phone. I asked before for a written list of approved procedures only to get the standard, "what the fu__ do you want from me." These dimwitted trash nazis who can't write an understandable comment on the bogus ticket have no guidelines for writing this crap. The harm caused to those on fixed incomes, landlord tenant relationships, and population loss is staggering. And recently the local news reported that the city wants to push collections. The poor and elderly are now going to start losing their homes because of these things. This crap is begging for a class action lawsuit before more damage and frustration occurs. Our city council and mayor don't give a damn about this. Ultimately, we will need to take them to court or ths will continue to escalate. I probably have many more tickets to receive in the next five months. Sincerely, Glenn ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
