r/longbeach

We just moved from Ventura to Long Beach and we were so excited to go to Rosie’s beach that allows off-leash dogs. When we went I was shocked to see how much trash was at the beach. I saw a wagon, dead birds, suitcases, needles, tires, and plastics scraps everywhere. I felt gross even with my sandals and thought I would never bring a child here. I don’t know if we were just spoiled but why isn’t this being fixed? The city is called long BEACH wouldn’t you want ur beaches to be clean and the focal point… call me crazy but what is the city doing with the budget? Did I just go to the wrong beach? I know I’m coming off as a complainer but this just doesn’t seem right

Code Enforcement (part of building and safety) in Long Beach is literally the only authority that can be turned to when dealing with mold in your rental.

There is no state, county, or federal authority you can turn to. There is no authority that overseas code enforcement, if code enforcement chooses to ignore you your only choice is to take them to court.

Code enforcement is by law the one who is designated to investigate and issue citations.

But if you call code enforcement about mold the standard line is, “we don’t investigate smells“

This despite the fact that by California law they are required to investigate any complaint made about substandard conditions, they are legally not allowed to dismiss without investigation a complaint about mold

So I decided to check and see for our humid Beach city how many open code enforcement cases reference mold over nine districts.

Five

That’s right code enforcement has currently stated only five addresses in all of Long Beach have mold, everything else is perfectly fine

God I hate how fucked up the government of Long Beach is, because the city itself is super cool

Long Beach has about 170,000 rentals. Statistically there are mold complaints in 5 to 15% of rentals in California at any one time. If only 10% of 1% of that 5% reported the violation to code you would have 34 cases.

It is basically statistically improbable to the point of impossible for only five people to have contacted code in regards to mold in the city of Long Beach.

Watch out for these two thief’s if you wash clothes at the laundromat on 4th and ximeno, I caught the fat one stealing my laundry soap 🤣

There are multiple times I’ve been going west on Long Beach blvd and turning left in one of the two-lane turn lanes at e Broadway with another car and they swerve or drive into my lane. Had to slam on my horn this morning to keep from getting side swiped.

My dog recently got a horrible haircut and I was really growing out his hair and I’m upset that they decided to shave it off to make it easier. He didn’t have any matting and I paid for extra brushing just in case. His ears are uneven and his tail looks a mess. Any recommendations thank you!!
