Houston police have been notified and is stepping up enforcement in the area as a result.
Eichenbaum explained urinating and defecating in public is illegal. He encourages people to report incidents and work with law enforcement.
However, Ulsher says calling police hasn’t seemed to help so far.
“All the defecating, it’s happening everywhere," she said. "There’s break ins happening everywhere. People are stealing packages. It’s getting worse, and worse, and worse. Something needs to be done about it, because the people who live in that area have worked hard to get their homes, and are having to protect their homes from other people coming in. That’s not OK. Something needs to be done. And it needs to be done immediately.”
The City recently passed two homeless ordinances, including one that bans tents in public areas.
City officials say it is a complex process, but the tent ordinance is being enforced through police issuing a series of warnings, tickets, then eventually making arrests.
The ACLU has filed suit against the City of Houston over the new rules.
