Trash by street (along 8th)
Large pile of mulch has been in the front yard along the street for several months, weeds and mold are growing in the pile. This occurs yearly.
This building has had a rat infestation for the past 10 years. The building is managed by Granite Student Living. There are bait traps placed around the building but these have not been helping. The rats are coming into the house, they are in the walls, and they are even entering living spaces through holes in the floor and holes in cabinets. The rat population at this location is growing due to the condition of the dumpster on site (see attached photo). The dumpster sits open with no lid, is often overflowing, and sits inside a wooden structure that the rats are using to climb up and into the dumpster. The house itself has not been completely sealed up from the outside to take away access points either. Additionally, there is no lighting in the back parking lot between the house and the dumpster, which creates an environment for rats to thrive, and also presents a safety concern for tenants. Granite has been made aware of these concerns but they have already stated "there are no plans to change lighting or the trash situation." Please have this matter looked into.
Trash hasn’t been picked up for two weeks as resident doesn’t understand what is trash and what is recycling. Trash bags are not closed.
The new bus stop is not being maintained. The garbage can never has a bag in it, is missing the lid and is never cleaned out. Our shelter staff and clients have been keeping it as clean as we can but that is not in our budget to continue supplying garbage bags and labor.
recyclables left out
My trash was not picked up today. My neighbor's trash was picked up.
On 8/25/25 the trash can at the bus stop just south of BJ Brewhouse, 411 S College Mall Rd was overflowing and litter on the ground - total eyesore.
Brawley management has put up "For Rent" signs in the ROWs at multiple locations in the neighborhood along Washington and Lincoln and between 8th and 10th Streets, and likely at other locations around the city. Please remind them to periodically reread the City Code - hopefully, they will eventually learn to be less self-serving and dismissive of the neighbors.
