Description
Construction company put up hazard tape and is illegal blocking the sidewalk in front of 819 Albemarle st with construction debris. They don't have the required permit by city ordinance to close the sidewalk and don't have the required signage posted. Pedestrians have to walk out into the middle of the street without any visibility of oncoming traffic due to parked cars so somewhat of a serious safety issue.
