Empty liquor bottles found near 72nd and Pacific streets have brought attention to a rare state statute that allows residents to file complaints against liquor license holders for violating regulations. A recent case related to this issue was dismissed by the city council. Property owners near the area have reported collecting nearly 250 pictures of trash, including empty alcohol bottles and cans, over two years. Convenience store owner Tesfaye Kinde denies receiving direct complaints and states that his establishment is clean. Councilmembers have visited the area and encourage neighbors to work together before involving city officials. The city’s homeless services coordinator has not received reports of encampments in the area. This situation highlights the importance of community involvement in maintaining neighborhood cleanliness and holding businesses accountable for their upkeep. As residents continue to monitor the situation, they are reminded of the procedures available to address such concerns under state statutes.
