99 Cent Only Store Dumpsters
The 99 Cent Only Store dumpsters at 5800 Bellaire have been a regularly reported eyesore to our office. As you can see from the above "before" photos, there was a huge disregard for maintaining a clean and tidy dumpster area in the back of the building off of Dashwood.
 In August, a meeting between Council Member Laster, the property manager, and the Department of Neighborhoods led to an agreement about what practices would be put in place to ensure this area stayed clean. As you can tell from the "after" pictures, the agreement is proving successful. But as always, please let us know if the blight returns!
