Description
I'm fed up with the homeless problem in this neighborhood, Friday night an ambulance had to come and carry off a guy that was passed out on my front steps and Peed all over and tonight the police had to come get this guy passed out behind my house. There's not a day that goes by that I don't have at least 4 beer cans in my front yard. I've lived here 4 years and it's getting worse!

We work closely with various City departments and local social service providers to address issues faced by our homeless population, and we also work with neighborhood associations to address the concerns they have, as well. Our Police Department has a Street Outreach Team that actively canvasses areas where the activities of the homeless are noticed, and they will continue doing so to ensure the safety of all citizens. Please immediately report any criminal activity or safety concerns to the SPPD directly by calling 727-893-7780 if not an emergency, or 911 if an emergency. Thank you.

I just spent my morning bleaching my front stairs again ( I had to bleach them last week when someone Peed on them ), someone just puked on them and through more beer cans in my yard. I thought I was buying my dream home and it’s turning out to be my biggest nightmare.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry this happened-no one should have to deal with this. I am sharing your latest comments with the Police Sergeant in charge of your area. We will stay on top of this until it is resolved. By the way, you do live in a dream home-a great location, very stylish and right in the middle of everything. We will get this resolved so you can truly enjoy your dream home. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you experience any more problems such as this.
Thank you

Dear EagleEye,
Thank you for providing additional information about the issues involving the homeless in your neighborhood, as well as the abandoned properties behind and across the street from the Viridian. I have shared them with the Police and our Code Enforcement Department. We have police officers checking this area during both daytime and evening hours. I have asked our Code Enforcement Department to send a Code Enforcement Officer out to inspect the properties you reported. Thank you for alerting us to these issues. We will continue working on them until they are resolved.

I did see a police presence early this morning, It’s greatly appreciated.
I can’t figure out why littering is such a big problem, came home from work today to find another three beer cans and a empty liquor bottle in my front yard.
Hopefully we can get this neighborhood under control, thank you so much for your help.:)

Thank you for your comments about the police presence this morning. The two police Sergeants in charge of your neighborhood are committed to resolving these issues. I will share your message with them. We will keep working on this until it is resolved. Agree with your comments about the litter, it is unsightly and detracts from our neighborhoods, but I think we will see an improvement once we get the issues involving transients under control. Thank you for working with us on this.

The City of St Petersburg periodically reviews past reports that are made from citizens within our city limits, and in an effort to clean-up old issues that were resolved some time ago, we are marking as 'closed' those issues that were submitted in the past for which the work has been completed or the issue has otherwise been resolved.
If you think for any reason that the issue you submitted in the past might still be unresolved, please feel free to submit a new report with the SeeClickFix St. Pete website and we will make sure the issue is directed to the appropriate City department to be addressed as soon as possible.
Thank you - MAC
