Description
As the weather warms a new issue is developing with the Good Fortune Market at 230 Quincy Ave, considering their chosen location for their dumpster. They have placed it on the property line abutting my back yard. The oder is so strong it is creating a public nuisance as it is directly affecting not only myself but my neighbors as well. I would like the City to follow its own bylaws in this situation and require Good Fortune Market to relocate the dumpster in a location that mitigates this air quality impact. The cited bylaw is as follows:
"8.12.040 - Dumpsters—Requirements.
A.
Location. Each dumpster shall be located at a distance from the lot line so as not to interfere with the safety of or obstruct the curb and sidewalk, or the convenience or health of abutters and the general public, or obstruct the view of flowing traffic. The location of dumpsters shall be subject to approval of the health commissioner and building department."
I would like to be able to allow my young children to play in their backyard without the strong oder of rotting organic materials. I believe this issue qualifies as direct interference with the use and quiet enjoyment of my property, as well as my neighbors'.
Thank you

For ISD and Waste Management:
Please provide an update as to the current status of this complaint. The dumpster/compactor continues to be located such that it interferes with the quiet enjoyment of my property and remains a public nuisance affecting not only myself but my neighbors as well. The odor is sufficiently bad as to prevent me, my wife, and my children from enjoying our own back yard. Please provide details on when someone will be sent to investigate and what the next steps will be.
Thank you.
