Residents urge Cudahy to act on chronic parking, potholes and alleged illegal cannabis operations
Several Cudahy residents used the public-comment period on June 17 to press the City Council for enforcement and follow-up on recurring neighborhood issues including chronic double-parking, property damage from sustained water intrusion, and suspected illegal cannabis operations at local addresses.

Resident Maria Rodriguez told the council vehicles that double-park and occupy multiple spaces leave neighbors unable to find parking and said repeated reports to city staff had not fixed the problem. "There's this man in specific that takes up 2 parking spaces," Rodriguez said, asking the council to "please do something about it."

Other residents raised water-damage complaints they said have persisted for years. Joaquin Landeros told the council he had reported sinkholes and water damage that had carved holes 15 to 18 inches deep on properties and said inspections had not led to repairs.

A public commenter identified as Adam, speaking on behalf of his father-in-law, raised concerns about unlicensed cannabis operations at several Cudahy addresses, saying a database search returned no state licenses for properties at or near 4915 and 4916 Cecilia Street, 4959 Patata Street and 8205 Wilcox Avenue. "These are clearly functioning businesses, yet they're not licensed by the state and not contributing any traceable cannabis tax revenue to our city," the speaker said and urged the city for transparency and accountability.

Mayor Alcantar Loza asked staff to follow up and said the city had not previously been aware of those specific addresses. Staff and council encouraged residents to submit evidence and to follow up with city hall; the mayor asked staff to make contact with the speakers to gather the cited addresses for investigation. Council members also reiterated that officials cannot respond to policy questions during public comment but that staff will pursue enforcement leads.

No formal enforcement actions were recorded during the meeting; council directed staff to follow up with residents to gather more information.
