I need help/advise with unreasonable neighbor in Chicago

Hello fellow investors, I need help/advise.

I just finish a 1 M new construction in Bowmanville/Logan Square neighborhood it is listed on MLS but I don't have any showings. I think it is because of my next door neighbor. It is a commercial building with tree apartments and a restaurant/bar on a corner. I know it is an obstacle in itself but my problem goes farther and that's where I need your advice. My neighbor keeps his garbage cans in front his property on the public/city part of the street grass aria which borders directly with my house. I think it is illegal. He does not have an access to the alley but he does have a small backyard behind his building where he can keep his garbage cans. I have tried to reason with the guy but he's not cooperating. I keep calling the city daily and they keep telling me they will send an inspector. It is 4 weeks later and still nothing has change. Any advice would be greatly appreciated haw I can overcome this problem. Who to call? Where to go to get this resolved?

Thank you advance for any advice.
