I'm a business owner from the Temescal Alley shops, and the sidewalk along 49th has become extremely dirty from all the foot traffic. I was informed commercial blocks (like on Telegraph) are typically cleaned routinely, but I think this area is being skipped due to being otherwise residential, and has never been cleaned. It is getting pretty gross, and is visible to a lot of people visiting Oakland for the first time!

Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for contacting OAK 311 regarding this matter. The maintenance and repair of sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner per Section 5610 of the California State Street and Highways code and Section 12.04 of the Oakland Municipal Code. These codes require property owners to repair and maintain their sidewalks, except where sidewalk damage is caused by an official City of Oakland tree, in which case the City's current policy is to take on those repairs. If sidewalks are nonexistent, then the owners of the adjacent parcel are responsible for the installation of new sidewalks.
Thank you
