There does not appear to be a drainage easement here. As such I don't believe that there is anything the city can do to enforce upon this. This renders this a civil matter between private property owners.
Other: Collecting and disposing of two plots’ worth of yard waste into easement — mounds toward the back of the address can be seen from street. Accumulation of leaves so great that water floods all adjacent yards after any amount of rain. Last year, at last, property owner paid for leaf removal that took 3 days for a team of 6 to clear tons of waste from his many years of accumulation. He warned all neighbors that he would not consider lawful disposal of leaves this year, instead chooses to fill the easement. Owner understands he is littering while flooding our yards. He also understands the accumulation is too deep and too huge to be considered composting. We are at a loss.

Hi Cason, after inspecting and speaking with neighbors, this appears to be a water trespass issue due to the berm created by the leaf pile. Would you mind checking on this? Thanks!

Hello, not sure if this a HAND or Street issue?
