Environmental and Public Nuisance Complaint

Location: Behind Walgreens, 10370 N McCarran Blvd, Reno, NV
Date: September 8, 2025
Submitted to: Reno Direct / Code Enforcement
City of Reno
P.O. Box 1900
Reno, NV 89505


To the City of Reno Code Enforcement Department,

I am writing to formally report significant environmental damage and public nuisance violations at the property located behind the Walgreens at 10370 N McCarran Blvd in Reno.

The area is experiencing a severe problem with an accumulation of trash, debris, and human waste, which I believe constitutes a serious health and safety hazard. The situation appears to be a result of encampments by the homeless population in this area.


Specific Issues

  • Accumulation of solid waste:
    Large amounts of garbage, discarded materials, and personal belongings are creating an unsightly and unsanitary environment.

  • Environmental contamination:
    The presence of human waste and other pollutants poses a direct risk to public health and the local ecosystem, including potential runoff into nearby waterways.

  • Public nuisance:
    The condition of the property is a blight on the community and raises concerns about overall public safety.


Request for Action

As a concerned resident, I respectfully request that the city investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate action to resolve these serious code violations and clean up the area.

For your reference, I have attached a few photographs of the area. My contact information is listed above if you require any further details.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
