I confirm that this is a major sanitary issue for the neighborhood. Dumpster is often filled overflowing and area around dumpster is not kept clean, garbage falls onto sidewalk, inviting rodents.

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has referred this issue to CODE ENFORCEMENT,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).

Thank you.

Problem still exist. Owner of the produce wholesaler did not take care of the sanitary issue at all. Smelly Oder for several blocks of the neighborhood.

Not solving yet. Still smell bad!

Dear DPW! 60 days/two months (!) have passed since Code Enforcement got this issue! Please nudge them, and relieve this n'hood of this health issue! :-o

Dear all neighbors, I encourage everyone to leave a note of complaint in the mailbox of the food vendors. If they get several notes from their neighbors it might help. I have already done so yesterday. Obviously the City is not on top of this.

So residents are now told by Waste Management to put all rotting food in our green waste yet where does this go the landfill? Wow something at both ends of this issue stinks. All those rotting(wasted) products should be composted or feed to livestock.

The issue has not fixed yet!!!

I live about 150 feet from this warehouse and dumpster and it still smells. They need a new dumpster.

Again this issue is still not fixed. The produce plays dumps all their old stuff in there and it stinks. It makes the whole block smell awful. There has to be some health code thing or something. The city really needs to look into this because it's unacceptable.

Not solve yet
