There is an illegal business, a garage, being run from a garage that is part of 2600 S Banta Ave. They are burning what smells like rubber outside on the property.
Live fires nightly with noxious fumes all night every night, at least since the last weekend on May. Squatters camp seems well-established with bicycle parking, wood pile, several tents. Can fire trucks even get back there in a timely fashion? We feel unsafe. There is a difference between homeless, itinerants, and squatters. These appear to be squatters.
Emergency exit is blocked by chairs at the PENN Station restaurant near I 69. Blocks egress. Reported to management. Didn't seem interested.
