Neighbors around the notorious Shingle Mountain site in southern Dallas complain code enforcement, which they sought for years to protect them, has turned on them instead.
The giant shingle pile at the Blue Star Recycling Company on South Central Expressway lasted for nearly 3 years until the city finally got rid of it.
Through a lawsuit against the company, the city of Dallas acquired most of the land in June and is considering a park for the site.
In April the city announced a new approach to code enforcement that would refocus manpower in southern Dallas areas where there are more problems.
