ALLEY SPAT: Neighbors on Daggett Street near Dicks Avenue are confronted with a pile of discarded couches on the street and a festering pile of garbage in an alley behind their homes.
A whopping 21 calls to the city's 3-1-1 help line have left Bullock essentially in the same place she was in nine months ago, when the trash heap appeared behind the house at 2625 Daggett - adjacent to Bullock's.
Bullock said the 3-1-1 representative she spoke with about the trash was rude, and basically told her to mind her own business.
"She said, 'If it's not on your property, you shouldn't worry about it,' " Bullock said.
Right. The mice and roaches that Jones and Bullock have seen scurrying around the trash heap are enough to worry anyone.
Adding insult to injury, a few dirty, discarded couches popped up on a small yard at 2635 Daggett four months ago, they said.
The city used to be better about hauling away large items. They'd basically take anything if you called them and put it out. They've limited that somewhat now, but they'll still take things like sofas if they're by the curb.
