Thank you for using this application to report an issue to the City of Albany. According to city code (§313-47), property owners are responsible for keeping their properties maintained with regards to lawn and litter. DGS staff will inspect the property for any violations. If violations are found, the property owner will be notified and given ten business days to rectify any violations. After ten business days, DGS will re-inspect the property for compliance. If the property is still in violation, DGS will schedule a cleanup of the property and the owner will be billed. Please note that due to the high volume, these requests may take up to two weeks or more for DGS to clean.

This is an ongoing catch 22 for the city. if you were to ride by this section you would see that some owners are trying to maintain this lawn that the city says we have to maintain. But without the help of parking authority /police dept enforcing the law of jumping the curb or parking on sidewalk we can't accomplish what you want. So, for you to state the above how can you enforce us to maintain this lawn. See click fix # 16427160 that was closed by APA - Doug stating they have to witness or catch this happening, but they won't enforce this at night or go there different times to see this happening. The city can ticket us at night if I park on the wrong side. I believe that this is now the responsibility of the city to redo this area plant grass and enforce the law so people don't park on it.
Maybe 2 departments can have a meeting on how to correct this problem. Today there was a DGS truck parked over the curb to go into corner store truck 509 or 505 pickup. Didn't have my phone to take a picture. I've replied to the 16427160 also to say that the answer of we have to see it to believe and close the issue is like saying the police dept has to see a bank get robbed to believe and do nothing else but give a standard answer. Similar to what you have done. Sure, would be nice to have this main Blvd that many travel on to come into and out of Albany and to other suburbs to see that the city does cares. I also in one of these clicks fix mention the street that has a large dip in it for the last 2 years that also was reported on click fix and they got the same standard answer. Sad I'm doing this at the request of a city dept that thought things were being corrected not just cut and paste a standard answer . And yes they are still driving around this dip into oncoming traffic.
