about two weeks after being noti
fied to fix the problem.
However, for other lower-level
problems, like overgrown grass and
weeds, complaints won’t be fol
lowed up on unless they are done
online, said Caron.
BDS launched an online form last
month for people to file complaints
about properties with overgrown
grass, the most common complaint
during the summer months. So far
it’s generated about 50 postings.
Caron said that the online report
ing form, which requires a digital
picture, saves staff time and re
sources since they don’t have to
log a complaint over the phone or
leave the office to inspect the prop
erty.
Some residents of Portland have
noticed an increase in nuisance
properties.
“I think it has gotten more no
ticeable,” said Belinda Clark, the
co-chair of the Concordia Neigh
borhood Association in northeast
Portland.
Clark said that some residents
of the neighborhood have asked
about what sort of recourses they
have with the rise in nuisance
properties.
When asked about the new
online reporting system, she said
that she’s optim istic, and just
hopes that it does resu lt in
people’s complaints being ad
dressed.
“At least people will feel like
their voice is being heard,” she
said.
Possibility. In every direction.™
