The backyard of 412 W Howe St has been converted nearly entirely into a gravel parking lot. Gravel has been dumped along the length of the alley which is frequently used as additional parking.
People are sleeping/living in a van. Both non-working vehicles have been flagged for towing, but not towed. Also, suspected drug use going on inside the van.
Numerous junk vehicles at this location that meet the city code description of "abandoned" City code 15.04.020 section 6 - vehicles more than three years old that have not moved for 20 days that are in public view. They are not even registered! 2 of these vehicles are parked on unimproved surfaces - also this property is a junk yard.
This appears to be a contravention of the City Ordinance (20.04.(B).I. Did the owner(s) ask permission to expand the parking area? Google Maps overhead view shows that there used to be much more grass there.
2nd vehicle is parking to the left of the driveway where there is no driveway causing a muddy mess.
Parking in dirt.
4 cars parked in yard. A few don’t run. Turning into a junk yard lot next to my house.
