“Dear PoPville,
I’m sorry I even had to type this or that anyone has to read this but I’m frustrated and not sure what city agency or person I should try next to resolve the below situation.
Yesterday (Thursday) I called 311 to report discarded clothes covered in human waste and more than one pile of said human waste also next to the clothes, as it was in a public space (the bottom step of the stairs that lead from Harvard St NW to the alley between Harvard and Hobart St NW).
