Emerald Hills Neighborhood Council Code Compliance Issues for July 2012

The July 2012 Emerald Hills Neighborhood Council Meeting had a small, but vocal crowd of involved neighbors. A big portion of the meeting was about Code Compliance issues :

  • Residents doing mechanical/ car work on their properties - at all hours, including weekends. This disturbs neighbors with noise and fumes, and questions about the flammability of items used in/ around garages.

  • Oversized vehicles/ RVs on properties and on the streets. Please remember that vehicles on the street must be moved every 72 hours, or they will be considered "abandoned vehicles" by the city.

  • Plant overgrowth on properties - weeds and other plants taking over properties. Fire Hazards just waiting to happen in our dry weather.


Roosevelt Williams III, representing District 4/ City Council President Anthony Young will hear your issues and is great at making things happen. Please call him at :619-236-7010.
You can also report a violation online, in print or snail-mail.

How to report a violation

How do I report a violation?

If you believe that there is a violation in your neighborhood or near your business, call (619) 236-5500 to file a complaint, or complete the Request for Investigation Form and submit online, or print and mail. The form is also available at any City of San Diego library computer by going to the NCCD website or at our office located at 1222 First Avenue, 5th Floor. Any forms submitted via regular mail should be addressed to:
Neighborhood Code Compliance Department
1222 First Avenue, 5th Floor, MS 511
San Diego, CA 92101
(619) 236-5500
When you phone in your complaint, we will ask if you have contacted the responsible party. Most people want to be good neighbors and are cooperative once the issue is brought to their attention.
Due to the existing case load and staff constraints, the complaint you file should be for those properties where the violations directly affect you.
Community-initiated complaints will usually receive a higher priority than individual complaints.
High service demands can routinely cause cases to remain open for 30 or more days. These cases usually involve violations that do not affect the public at large and do not constitute a health and safety problem.


GRAFFITI ISSUES

http://www.sandiego.gov/graffiti/reporting.shtml

If you see graffiti vandalism in progress, call 911 and report it immediately to the San Diego Police Department. Do not confront the vandals. Although they may appear to be harmless, they may be carrying weapons. The police will respond based on the priority of the crime compared to others for which they have calls at the time.
Contact the city's Paint and Materials Exchange Bank for assistance or questions pertaining to graffiti removal supplies and safety. The City of San Diego operates a Paint and Materials Exchange Bank in the Chollas View area where citizens can obtain free recycled paint in limited colors for graffiti removal. Call the paint bank at (619) 527-5419 to make an appointment for pick up of paint and supplies or submit the on-line Release of City of San Diego Materials Form.For information regarding the proper disposal of paint and solvents, visit the City's Environmental Services Department web pages.

THANKS to Mr. and Mrs. Kline for continued great work on our Emerald Hills pocket park along Kelton Road.

The Emerald Hills Neighborhood Council hosted a Community Clean-up Event with the City on August 6th.  Thanks to all -   27.99 TONS of waste was removed, with over 22 tons of it NON-recyclables.          Way to go, EH!

The guys from our Local FIRE STATION #12 joined us for awhile. Nice to meet you all! Corey Beckwith shared with us:
Did you know it takes an average of 5-10 minutes for a truck to get to you? That every fire truck has a trained paramedic on it? That an ambulance often takes 10-12 minutes to arrive on the scene? The Fire fighters often have 7-15 calls per 24 hour shift?

Dryer Lint and Vents - one of the big problems for fires, especially in apartment complexes.
Please make sure to remove lint EVERY time you use the dryer, and vacuum/ empty out the vent that leads outside. You'll save energy, in addition to making your place safer. It was recommended that your dryer get checked by a professional annually.

Fire Stations are Safe Baby Drop-Off Zones. If you are unable to care for your baby/child, bringing him/her to a fire station or hospital will not be considered abandonment by the Police.

The local brownouts for service in our area ended on July 1st of this year, thank goodness. 
If you have any questions, you can call Fire Station #12- they're friendly: 619-527-3420.

If you need a bicycle license or learn how to properly fit your child into a safety seat - go to the local police station-  Southeastern Division,  #431 on the police map area. They also do
"You Are Not Alone" YANA Checks and
Vacation House Checks

EMERALD HILLS SHOOTING - neighbors help find culprits

Neighbors helped find the two shooters who hit a 7-year old girl in the leg & a 21-year old man in the upper arms that occurred on July 9, 2011.  The wounded man, Martin Barnett had exchanged words with the 16-yr-old teen shooter and another gang member, Anthony Penn,  on Roswell near 56th Street in Emerald Hills.

Penn, who lives in the neighborhood, is set to be arraigned on Wednesday, July 13th at San Diego Superior Court. No details for the 16-yr-old shooter, who also lives in the Emerald Hills area.

Roosevelt Williams III, City Council President Tony Young's representative told the Emerald Hills Neighborhood Council attendees on Tuesday that additional units will be in the area, especially around times when school is starting/ ending, and also in the evening. Please call the police if you notice any suspicious activity in the neighborhood. It's better to be safe than sorry. (He also reminded us to watch our speed & to come to a complete stop at stop signs, since the area will have a higher police presence).ss


Thanks to the Emerald Hills neighbors who helped identify the shooters!




UPDATED: 7/14/2011
The 16-yr-old, identified as  Darryl Williams, was on probation at the time of the shooting. Both plead  not guilty at the arraignment for attempted murder, assault with a firearm and shooting at an inhabited welling. Deputy District Attorney Fran Jackson told the SD Superior Court Judge, David M. Szumoswki that the shooters were members of a rival gang in San Diego. Bail is set at $500,000 for each defendants.
If convicted, they could serve 20 years to life. Both have juvenile records.
