Unsanitary conditions on Caton Avenue Archived

2151 Caton Avenue Brooklyn, NY - City Council District 40

Copy of email sent to Mathieu Eugene 1/18/13:

I have been a resident of your district for the past 4 years. I live at 2233 Caton Ave on the corner of Bedford, right around your district office on Linden Blvd.

I am writing to complain about an on-going issue regarding the accumulation of garbage in front of an empty lot located at 2151 Caton Avenue between Flatbush Avenue and Bedford Avenue to the right of a Laundromat located at 2149 Caton Avenue (see 3 photographs attached taken yesterday Thursday January 17, 2013). In spite of numerous complaints filed with the New York Department of Sanitation through 311, the issue invariably reoccurs within days, sometimes hours of removal of the previous batch of garbage by the Department of Sanitation or the Laundromat operators. I have seen local residents discarding anything from fastfood, beds, empty boxes, sofas and any other detritus imaginable. I have seen people urinating, even defecating in that corner. It accumulates until eventually, sometimes after filing 3 or 4 or more complaints with 311, the location is cleaned up, only to be dumped on again within hours. Given that this is before an empty lot, its owner doesn't believe it is obliged to clean the sidewalk. The Laundromat, legitimately so, doesn't think it is obliged to clean the area since it is not before its lot. Meanwhile, local residents use it as a municipal dump. It is ground for highly unsanitary conditions, particularly in the summer, attracts rodents, and reflects poorly on the neighborhood and your district. It is disgusting and no one is being held accountable for it.

I am calling on you to see that this issue is being resolved once and for all. Perhaps the owner of the lot can be found and held accountable for removing the garbage. Perhaps a poster "This is NOT a garbage dump" could be placed on the wooden fence, though I doubt anyone would comply. Perhaps your district could invest in a sidewalk cleanliness campaign to raise awareness of the issue, which is not unfortunately restricted to this corner of Caton Avenue. Whatever the solution may be, I would greatly appreciate that the issue be taken care of. A portion of my tax dollars (city and property taxes) go towards keeping our streets clean.

Thank you for your attention to this matter andI look forward to hearing from you. Best,

Eric Longo

  From Church Avenue to Newkirk Avenue (both 66 and 70 precincts) there is total lawlessness as far as the auto businesses are concerned. Double parking, storage of unregistered cars on streets and sidewalks, sidewalks blocked and no tickets ever. Can't they tow the cars without plates?
  What do Inspectors Sprague and Monteforte have to say about this moratorium on tickets and the resulting lawlessness? A severe crackdown with tow trucks will send a clear message.

Loitering and causing trouble / crime Archived

400 Argyle Rd Brooklyn, NY - City Council District 40

There are group of guys who loiter on Argyle outside the Salahi deli. They start in the evening and are there until the early morning. They drink, smoke pot, yell, fight, and urinate on the adjacent properties. They hit people up for money in a threatening manner, and leave their litter and bottles in and around parked cars, on the sidewalk, etc. And, their noise disturbs the people in the building above them.

No Sidewalk Open

1201-1213 E 15th St Brooklyn, NY - Brooklyn Community Board 14

The East side of the street has no sidewalk just mud and broken glass in front of the corner lot. Also, there is a Mechanic's garage that is always blocking the sidewalk with numerous damaged cars all day long. Plus it should be made a one way street, it is way to narrow to traverse in two directions. There are schools on the block, and school busses are forced to squeeze past the other cars making for very unsafe conditions.
Locust and East 15th should be made one way streets, and have proper sidewalks put in. It is not a safe place for people to walk or drive kids to school.

  The New York City Department of Transportation has denied the request for one-way conversion of East 15th Street based on a traffic study that found low traffic volumes and the fact that a one-way conversion will result in increased speeding. Community Board 14 is still waiting for a response regarding the request for sidewalk installation. We will post the results here when they are received.

23 Newkirk Plaza Brooklyn, NY - City Council District 40

At the Newkirk Plaza overpass, by the Foster Avenue bus stop between E. 16th Street and Marlboro Road, on the South side of Foster Avenue just West of the bus stop waiting area, there are several mature trees, on the property South of the fence, that are arching over the fence, with the heavily laden branches at the top of the trees touching/landing on the sidewalk area where a tree pit might be located. They create an arch way under which people can walk. They are also leaning on and pulling down the telephone wires of a nearby telephone poll. The private property cannot be seen from the sidewalk.

  The City of New York prunes public street trees. If this tree is located on private property, the maintenance is the property owner's responsibility.

The street alongside the sidewalk is ripped up from snow removal. Open

1395 Ocean Ave Brooklyn, NY 11230, USA - Brooklyn Community Board 14

The street in front of the school located at 1395 Ocean Avenue is terribly ripped up along the sidewalk. This is a location where children load and unload off school buses daily. In addition, parents come regularly to visit the school. At this time the street is a potential risk of injury. i believe that the DOT or Dept of Sanitation may have overlooked this area when they did the post snow removal street repairs. Thank you.

John's Bakery's garbage is out of control. Every weekend, especially by Sunday morning the commercial bin is overflowing with garbage so that by Sunday night the sidewalk is filled with cardboard boxes and broken garbage bags. The hauler comes at 1:00 in the morning and then two days later the garbage is overflowing out of the commercial bin again. I have seen sanitation agents there chatting with the owner and ignoring the situation.

  The dead tree was replaced with a new one in the spring and the new one is now dead, too. Tree pit continues to be overgrown and filled with litter. Residue from bakery on Rugby (residential side) never washed from sidewalk, which should be daily, since it is a commercial business. That section of Rugby smells from garbage (commercial and residential) and sidewalk is filled filthy not only from bakery, but from pigeons that eat from open bags left in bins by bakery. Still unclean and unkempt.

Large tree limb down for months - never removed by city! Archived

677 Argyle Rd Brooklyn, NY 11230, USA - City Council District 40

In June 2010, a large tree limb that fell, hit a parked car and broke the windshield, was cut up by firefighters but left on the sidewalk. The city never came to remove it even with requests to 311. All that was done was the police put caution tape up *across* the street where a branch on a different tree is hanging precariously.

The fallen limb is becoming a garbage dump with people just throwing their garbage in the branches. It won't be long before vermin start hanging out in it either!

Sidewalk on Cortelyou between 17th and 18th street in disrepair and always strewn with litter, because. Who is responsible for repairing sidewalk? Because it is a dead zone next to people's back yard/driveway the litter comes in via wind and pedestrian traffic.

Apartment house and John's Bakery sidewalk Archived

1322 Cortelyou Rd Brooklyn, NY 11226, USA - City Council District 40

This area is grimy and filthy with litter, overflowing trash, pigeon feces, bakery residue, caked and hardened residue in the tree pits, one new tree dead from the hardened earth around it. The area looks and smells disgusting. Apartment and John's should get together to wash and thoroughly clean area often.

Badly broken sidewalk Archived

1807 Ditmas Avenue - City Council District 40

House at corner of Ditmas Avenue and E. 18 Street has badly cracked sidewalks on both the avenue and the street.
Walking is hazardous.

Why has this homeowner not been issued a citation. and the city taken the responsibility of having it repaired?? Does someone have to break a leg? I did in fact upload a photo of the crumbling sidewalk. The condition is getting worse.

litter strewn sidewalk Archived

1701-1799 Cortelyou Rd Brooklyn, NY 11226, USA - City Council District 40

Constant problem with litter along this stretch of Cortelyou. Two private homes abut the area and need to come to some kind of solution about maintaining area.

  Cortelyou Road in this area is just a junk pile, with trash blowing everywhere. Trash cans are overflowing.

Abandoned construction site blocked sidewalks Archived

1189 East 29 And 2901 Avenue L - Brooklyn Community Board 14

Is there anything that can be done to get the sidewalks back into use for the public? It is a huge danger for pedestrians to be walking in the street on Avenue L.

PARKING PAD ON FRONT LAWN Archived

2114 Glenwood Rd Brooklyn, NY 11210, USA - Brooklyn Community Board 14

Hello all,

2114 Glenwood, between 21st and 22nd Streets, south side, appears to be in the process of creating a concrete pad in the front lawn off the driveway. There has been a car parked on the grass in that location for more than a year.

Is this construction or zoning violation, or a CB#14 issue as illegal curb cuts are? There is an existing driveway running to the back of the house, but this diagonal slot pad may be a convenient arrangement for multiple occupants in the house. There is no permit posted in view, though normal repaving of a sidewalk or driveway would not require one.

If not a defined zoning violation, this practice of creating parking in the front of a home is certainly a contextual violation of our neighborhood appearance. Other examples do exist, as on Bedford near Farragut with a full loop access, and on the lawn on the north side of Campus Road between 22nd and 21st streets, adjacent to the newer box homes with the steep diving driveways into the basement.
