Description
The owner of 1142 Regent Street dumped concrete on his drive entrance. It was not done to any standard, and was done without permits. It is in the curb & gutter, disrupting the flow of stormwater. They put plastic grating in it, approximately 3" wide, along the length. The plastic grating is not to any standard and is deteriorating rapidly.
This looks like crap. If I wanted to have Oakland standards, I'd live in Oakland and pay less taxes. I don't live in Oakland, I live in Alameda. For a reason.
This is the second time I've reported this. Not sure what happened the first time, seems people in Public Works have short memories.
Can we get this fixed? It's a blight and needs to be rectified. At least make the owner redo their curb cut to code.

Why is Alameda driveway also not being handled by the Building Inspection Department? Does Public Works have to repour private driveways in Alameda?

In the Cirt's defense, it's only been about seven months since I originally reported it...
Seriously though, does the City do anything to correct the behavior? Repott dumpibg, they pick it up. Report shoddy, unpermitted, substandard construction, they do nothing. It's nice in that if I have junk, all I have to do is leave it the curb and "report" it, but since i generally obey laws, I just end up paying for a bunch of miscreands and slobs.

I guess kt can't take the heat for what she says here. not sure why she had my comment blocked?
my previous comment was not in anyway out of line with kt's normal posts.
"kt why do you comment on cases all over town? At least robert1234 focuses on his neighborhood.if you are smart as you say you are you would know that sidewalks and driveways are the responsibility of public works. Have you offered your services in reading Alameda's specifications or are you just a complainer"
