@David C. You're so right...the process takes time. First, an inspector has to to confirm the conditions in the complaint, then the property owner has to be notified. Owner has 3 weeks to comply.
Hope that happens because that's the "easy" way. The 'hard' way will take longer. Stay on it!
The land lord could use a couple months of community service beside a large fine. For most of these people money is not an issue but the ones I have worked with as a Keep Oakland Beautiful volunteer they consider picking up trash and cigarette butts as degrading.
