SAN ANTONIO — A case against United Site Services, a portable toilet business, was granted another delay by a judge in Municipal Court this morning—extending the wait for some east-side residents desperate to escape a putrid situation.
The business, which leases property on the edge of a residential neighborhood near the AT&T Center on Belgium Road, is producing an overwhelming smell, according to residents.
Neighbors say the smell produced by the operation is overwhelming and they've been trying to get the city to take action for months.
Neighborhood President Alonzo Jones said, "It's just a prolonged ordeal and we're just trying to get a resolution. It's just an awful stench and we're trying to get it removed out of our neighborhood."
Today a judge gave the company another delay. Therefore, they won't have to answer to three different citations until November 15th.
The city has cited the company for not having a proper certificate of occupancy, not having proper zoning and parking violations.
