Parrot Village Is a Dump

  • 2614 Central Ave Alameda, CA, 94501, USA - Alameda

    I originally reported this issue here https://seeclickfix.com/issues/6358928, but it was fake-closed by Sgt. Brian Foster multiple times in order to sweep it under the rug. I fought to keep it open and kept re-opening it, but he had the SCF admins do something where they instantly archived the issue and made it impossible for me to reopen or comment on it again as the issue continued unabated.

    I then attempted to re-submit the issue as a new request since the problem was still not resolved and continuing to cause us nothing but endless trouble. I submitted it here again: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/6705915

    As usual, Sgt. Foster went in, fake-closed my issue several more times, and when I attempted to re-open it he had the SCF admins once again insta-archive it so I can't reopen or comment on it.

    I submitted yet another request here https://seeclickfix.com/issues/6747484, since the problem remains unresolved and continues to be a nuisance and a hazard. Sgt. Foster just fake-closed it again and also fake-archived it so that I am unable to reopen the issue or comment on it.

    The problem continues unabated to this day and the city government and police department continue refusing to enforce our legal private property rights, they continue refusing to cite the owner of 2614 Central for blocking OUR driveway his pickup truck parked on the street and the rear end of it sticking into our driveway, they continue refusing to do anything about the situation and keep telling us "its a civil issue" (even though its not, if you read Alameda's municipal code) and even ignore the fact that I already brought it up to my landlord and that he has already sent them a letter asking them to stop trespassing on our property and they continue doing it anyway.

    In any other city they would have been cited by now but in Alameda they get free reign to break the law. It seems like no laws are enforced in this town period and anyone can break as many laws as they want with impunity.

    I just arrived home today (October 1st, 2019) to once again find that my neighbor has blocked his driveway with his pickup truck, and as we were coming into our carport we watched as one of the tenants in his building drove into our driveway to go around his truck.

    The owner of this complex as well as several of his tenants and family members have consistently been parking vehicles in their driveway, completely blocking the driveway off and then proceeding into our driveway next door without our permission and using our driveway to go around their vehicles.

    I have been regularly reporting this problem to APD since April 2018 and nothing has been done about it. The owners and various tenants of 2614 Central continue to i.l.l.e.g.a.l.l.y trespass onto our driveway next door and use it without the owner's permission to go around their vehicles.

    They are also causing a collision hazard for tenants in our complex and have almost caused an accident several times swerving into our driveway from behind the fence that separates our properties.

    The fence acts as a blindspot and there is no way for people exiting our complex to see their vehicles on the other side of the fence, and therefore have no warning when their vehicles sometimes rapidly swerve out into our driveway to go around their vehicles blocking their driveway.

    The owner of 2614 Central Ave and his tenants need to learn that our complex is private property, it does not belong to them, they do not have permission to use our driveway, we have a big giant "no trespassing" sign posted out front which they conveniently ignore every time. They need to be made aware of the fact that our driveway DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM. They DO NOT have permission to use our driveway.

    STOP USING OUR DRIVEWAY TO GO AROUND VEHICLES IN YOUR DRIVEWAY. If you want to block your driveway, fine! Be my guest! But if you need to get in or out of your carport, you need to use your own driveway to do that. If a vehicle is blocking you, you need to either move it yourself or ask whoever parked it there to move it or have it towed. You do not have the right to use our driveway without our permission to go around your vehicles in your driveway!

    They need to learn this and soon.

    Please make the trespassing and abuse of our driveway stop. We are sick and tired of it.

    Thanks.

    The owner of this complex (2614 central) as well as several of his tenants and family members have consistently been parking vehicles in their driveway, completely blocking the driveway off and then proceeding into our driveway next door without our permission and using our driveway to go around their vehicles.

    I have been regularly reporting this problem to APD since April 2018 and nothing has been done about it. The owners and various tenants of 2614 Central continue to i.l.l.e.g.a.l.l.y trespass onto our driveway next door and use it without the owner's permission to go around their vehicles.

    They are also causing a collision hazard for tenants in our complex and have almost caused an accident several times swerving into our driveway from behind the fence that separates our properties.

    The fence acts as a blindspot and there is no way for people exiting our complex to see their vehicles on the other side of the fence, and therefore have no warning when their vehicles sometimes rapidly swerve out into our driveway to go around their vehicles blocking their driveway.

    I have spoken to my landlord about it and he has even sent them a letter asking them to stop trespassing on our driveway but they ignore his message and keep doing it. They have been doing this to us for a year and a half straight. APD has been completely unhelpful even though they are trespassing on private property every time they use our driveway without our landlord's permission. At the time of this posting (September 21st 2019 2:41 AM) the driveway of 2614 central is blocked by the owner's pickup truck and he has had his tenants using our driveway for the past 24 hours.

    He also sometimes blocks our driveway parking his truck past where the curb ends and our driveway starts, with his rear end sticking into our driveway. This week he was partially blocking our driveway for 3 days straight. I called APD repeatedly trying to get him towed and they refused to do anything about it.

    We're getting tired of the abuse. This needs to end and soon.

  • 1834 Chapin St Alameda, CA, 94501, USA - Alameda
    The occupants of the Parrot Village Public Housing Project located at the end of Chapin Street (I believe the address is 1834 Chapin) regularly blast rap music so loud and so powerful that you can hear and feel it literally miles away, all the at the Marina Village Shopping Center on the opposite side of Jean Sweeney Park. I'm literally not even exaggerating, the music is so loud and powerful you can feel the earth shaking literally miles away. They do this pretty much every single week, usually starting on Friday afternoons. The noise disturbs all of the employees of the marina village office park, violently vibrating our office buildings and giving us migraines. It is also a massive nuisance to all residents in the area. What is particularly nasty about this is that there are young children playing at Sweeney Park who have to listen to this vulgar rap music glorifying violence, d.r.u.g. abuse, degrading women, spewing profanity, etc. I have lots of video footage of this happening, including footage I recorded from miles away at Marina Village and from up close so you can actually hear how loud it is. It's insanely loud. Multiple calls have been made to APD about this all year and they refuse to do anything. Dispatchers just give us attitude when we try to report it. Multiple calls made to Alameda Housing Authority and the complex's property manager. They never answer, I left multiple voicemails. Problem has been going on for over a year
