Why is nothing being done about the litter in Glen Cove??

As I drive around Glen Cove all I see is litter along sidewalks, streets & sewer covers! I do not understand why our litter laws are not enforced in our city. Every homeowner and every business owner in Glen Cove should clean up the front of there property. And if they do not clean the garbage in front of there properties then Glen Cove needs to enforce this law by issuing fines! I do not see our neighboring towns with litter lining there streets.....unlike Glen Cove they enforce the litter law and if they don't then you get hit with a fine. Absentee landlords are the worst they don't check on there properties or tenants! Our once beautiful city of Glen Cove is turning into a slum & no one is doing anything about it! Our Mayor need to wake up and start making some serious changes to our once beautiful city before it gets worst. Don't we have a  Beautification Program....are they still around?? I am so tired of driving up and down Forest Ave, Brewster Street, Dosoris Lane, and Woolsey Ave., and see nothing but litter everywhere. it's disgusting & the city needs to start addressing this issue immediately!
