They are violating Oakland Muni Code 5.06.020 Regulations governring the posting of signs. Sec A. 1. a. I have removed along with Keep Dimond Clean volunteers a large number of there signs. Where are the citations as noted call the number set up meeting. Make some money for the city.

David, I reported these signs to Greg Minor at the City Administrator's office. Greg is responsible for Nuisance Abatement and these type of issues are his responsibility. You should also report these cases to Greg.

IG thanks. I will also do a better job of documenting how many and where.

I yank them down if I can reach them, but they are getting cleaver but using a ladder to post them higher than a person can reach.
Someone reported a mayor for Oakland candidate sign (I think it was Parker) on Skyline, across from the reservoir parking lot months ago on Skyline but it is still there. You need a ladder to reach it.

Dear Redwood Road, thanks for doing this...every effort helps. And yes, there are still signs around from the last election: I just saw and reported a bunch of Measure BB signs.

In addition to removing these signs, it's important to report them as well. Statistics matter, and if we don't document this activity it did not happen. Best to first file a report via SeeClickFix and then forward it to GMinor@oaklandnet.com along with the photos.

good luck!

Someone else had reported the signs on Skyline on SeeClickFix. I can never figure out how to pull up an issue so I can't comment further on it. I can pull up my own reportings but not others.

I went out this afternoon with a shovel to try and get some of the signs down. At Carson and Aliso I got the "We Buy Records" sign down but the yellow "We Buy Houses" sign would not come down.
They used screws rather than nails to mount the signs. I will try another approach. I did get the vote for Parker signs down on Skyline. The were nailed up so were easy to pry loose. They are finally gone after all of these months.

Dear Redwood Road, thanks so much for removing all of those signs. Since you still have them as evidence and you know the locations from which they were removed, please submit the information to Greg Minor @GMinor@oaklandnet.com so that the City Administrator can go after the violators. Otherwise, while you make an effort to remove, they will continue to put them up if the go unpunished.

I got my trusty ladder and my crowbar out this afternoon and removed three of the yellow "I Buy Houses" signs on Carson from Aliso to Mountain, then drove over to Calaveras and Mountain and took down two more of the yellow signs; one from Better Homes Realty and two paper ones for a garage sale on Leona that took place two weeks ago. I will follow up with a complaint to Greg Minor. This matter can now be closed.

I reported this to Greg Minor a week ago and have not had even an acknowledgment. Go figure. Frustrated here.

Not one one from Greg Minor. The E-mail I sent him on March 30th has not been acknowledged by him or anyone else. Sent a follow up E-mail this afternoon. The very least that he could do is acknowledge the E-mail even if they decide not to pursue this matter.

Dear Redwood Road, I certainly understand how frustrating it is and am experiencing the same thing. However, while the staff of the City of Oakland is not responsive or even professional in their communication, some of our reports are being addressed. For example, I have now submitted at least six requests to Greg Minor and have not had a single response from him....BUT...I did get several responses from Carl Sibley who copied me on his communications and had the signs removed.

So, while this is frustrating and disappointing in terms of dealing with the people who are our designated points of contact, it's very important that we continue to follow the process and report issues.

Thanks for doing this for our city!

I give up - I haven't heard a word from anyone. Next trash day, they are going.
