"I've seen people in the lake, people dump trash in here, and it just feels like it's a neglected piece of the city," Clara Street resident Nick Dipastena told KGO.
"The plan is to pump out the water, clean out the residual debris, and we'll backfill the site to bring it up to grade, stabilize it, and repair all the sidewalks so it's a presentable piece of property," said Paul Thompson from Thompson Builders Corp.
City Attorney David Chiu sued the owners of the site this past September calling it a public nuisance that substantially endangers the safety, health, and welfare of residents.
People who frequent Fifth Street in South of Market know that a vacant lot at Clara Street has earned the nickname trash lake, accumulating water, garbage, and mosquitoes.
