Yes this has been a problem for months (years?) now. Nothing seems to be done here despite Raleigh Code of Ordinance; Part 7, Chapter 2, Article B, Sec. 7-2005 (d)(1) and (2) stating in part:

(1) Refuse to be collected by the Solid Waste Services Department shall be placed at the street, alley or other City approved location of the property from which it was generated by 7:00 a.m. on the designated day for collection. If the Solid Waste Services Director or his designee deems an alleyway passable for City Solid Waste equipment, roll-out containers may also be placed at rear alleyways. Containers shall be placed at least five (5) feet away from any obstruction (including mailboxes, transformers, parked cars, and light poles) and shall not be placed near low hanging branches or power lines. Containers shall be placed at the curb no earlier than noon on the day before the designated collection day and shall be removed from the curb and placed off the public right-of-way, at a location not visible from the public right-of-way, or at the side of the building, no later than 7:00 p.m. of the day after the designated collection day. If a building fronts both a public and a private right-of-way, containers shall be stored in a location on the private right-of-way facing side of the building or another location not visible from the public right-of-way.
(2) Under no circumstances, within a fire district, may refuse or refuse containers be placed upon the public street before the hour of 3:00 p.m. or after 5:30 p.m. nor shall a refuse container be permitted to remain on a public street after the hour of 9:30 a.m.

Agree. I've reported all of these apartment buildings repeatedly because they're always IN the streets blocking flow of traffic. Nothing is ever done.

This location is not maintained by the City of Raleigh. We will close this inquiry at this time, as only the City uses SeeClickFix to track issues in our area.

Then tell me WHO DOES have jurisdiction over a street IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH??? You can't refer this to trash? Police? Anyone else? I bet you if my trash was out IN THE STREET blocking traffic RIGHT AT A STOP SIGN, City of Raleigh wouldn't fine the hell out of me!
