Dumpster
Behind 4301 Buchanan Avenue
Findings
The Department of Transportation has completed the requested investigation for the “no parking” and “vehicles towed at owner’s expense to Greenwood Garage” signs posted along the 1300 block of Roland Heights Avenue.
The posted signs are posted on private property and have no jurisdiction on the City street. Towing cars from the City street, based upon these signs is not legal.
However, to assist the management company in relationship to the dumpster on the side of 4301 Buchanan Avenue, we have issued work orders to install two “no stopping” signs to be posted on both sides of the driveways on Roland Heights Avenue, with a 10 foot clearance on both sides, to ensure access to the dumpster at all times. We expect installation of these signs to take place
by June 1st.
