Illegal Disposal of Cooking Oil at Penrose Plaza Shopping Center

I am writing to report a serious environmental and public health concern behind the Penrose Plaza Shopping Center, specifically in the area where Wingstop and Popeyes are located.

A significant amount of cooking oil, reportedly originating from Wingstop, has been improperly dumped behind the property near the bushes. The odor is extremely strong and unpleasant, creating an unhealthy environment for nearby residents and visitors. More concerning, the oil appears to be flowing directly into a nearby storm drain, which raises the risk of environmental contamination.

This situation is unacceptable and requires immediate investigation. I request that the appropriate authorities thoroughly examine this matter, identify the responsible party, and take appropriate enforcement action, including fines if warranted.

Many Street Lights on Mario Lanza Blvd. are out and require bulb replacement

Numerous non-operational streetlights located near the intersection of Mario Lanza Boulevard and 81st Street require bulb replacement. The lack of illumination in this relatively isolated area of the Eastwick community creates hazardous nighttime conditions and poses a safety risk to residents who utilize the area for pedestrian activity. Prompt attention from the city is requested to address this issue and restore adequate lighting. These affected light poles are situated on the wooded side of Mario Lanza Boulevard, within the vicinity of addresses 3026 and 8100.

Illegal dumping on a vacant lot adjacent to the Penrose Plaza Shopping Center

Location: 8100 Mario Lanza Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19153

A recurring issue with illegal dumping on a vacant lot adjacent to the Penrose Plaza Shopping Center, near the Dollar Store. Despite having a gate and a padlocked entrance, the lot has become a dumping ground for garbage. I have previously reported this issue, but the situation has only worsened.

The accumulated trash is not only an eyesore but also poses a potential health hazard.

I urge the city to take action to address this issue and ensure the lot remains clean and free of debris.

Urgent Request for Sidewalk Repair – 8400 Block of Crane Street

I am writing to bring attention to the severely damaged sidewalk on the 8400 block of Crane Street, which connects to Mario Lanza Blvd. The sidewalk is in a state of disrepair, making it impassable for pedestrians and forcing individuals to walk in the street, posing a serious safety hazard.

This sidewalk is a vital pathway for Eastwick residents, particularly those who rely on it for daily commutes to the nearby SEPTA train station. Additionally, elderly residents who live in the area once used this sidewalk for mobility are now at risk due to its unsafe condition. Without proper repairs, pedestrians—especially seniors—are forced into the roadway, increasing the likelihood of accidents involving vehicles.

I respectfully urge the city to address this issue promptly and restore the sidewalk to ensure safe and accessible passage for all. I hope this concern receives the attention it deserves and is not overlooked.
