Yearly trash problem has residents split qver city citations

By Linda Rosencrance TAB Staff Writer t's September and that means two things to residents of Allston I and Brighton - the return of college students and tons of trash - heaps and heaps of the stuff, littering front lawns, blocking sidewalks and spilling out on lo the streets. Old mattresses, chairs, sofas, tables, desks, crates and bags on top of bags of who-knows-what are left behind by last year's contingent of students, no longer wanted by the new tenants. For as long as anyone can remember residents and city offi­ cials have been trying to figure out ways Lo keep the lid on the situation. Unhappy residents say they have only one option - call the city's Code Enforcement Office and com­ plain about particularly disgusting areas. Inspectors from that office f:tien go out and issue tickets - that carry fines with them for various infractions - to the offending prop­ erty owner. The city figures that by hitting the landlords in their pocketbooks, maybe they'll change their ways and make more of an effort to let their tenants know how to properly dis­ pose of the trash. And it seems to be working, said James Cahill, directorof Code Enforcement.
