dirty sidewalk Archived

353 E 17th St Brooklyn, NY 11226, USA - City Council District 40

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. It doesn't seem fair to place the burden for keeping the block clean on the homeowner.

deep ruts injuring trees made by park Archived

1501-1599 Caton Ave Brooklyn, NY 11226, USA - City Council District 40

I hope the parks dept. Is planning on resodding and filling these huge ruts they created. They made the sidewalk wide enough to drive on but couldn't keep on the pavement.

Large hole/sunken pavement along SE corner Archived

255-267 E 18th St Brooklyn, NY 11226, USA - City Council District 40

There is a huge area of sunken pavement along the NE corner of East 18th and Beverley. Along with being a driving hazard, it routinely catches water when it rains that takes forever to evaporate, and in the summer months this creates a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Thanks, CB14. Could you please clarify the response from DOT? What exactly does that mean?

The basin was listed as South East corner it is the South West Corner and DOT said that they would take care of it later. They did not consider it a problem. I thought it was a trip hazard and an area that collected alot of garbage. Since Dec. 26th I have not seen the catchment basin to see if it still is a problem.

John's Bakery Archived

1320 Cortelyou Rd Brooklyn, NY - City Council District 40

Sidewalk and tree pits grimy. Pigeons roost in area, because they are fed from bakery, so lots of pigeon feces. Bakery dumpster always overflowing. Whole stretch of Rugby side of bakery off Cortelyou needs consistent washing and cleaning.

Tot Lot Attendant Harrassing Parents Archived

1302 Cortelyou Rd Brooklyn, NY - City Council District 40

The man who opens and closes the Tot Lot is using profanity to get parents and children to follow rules and is behaving erratically. He needs to be relieved of his duties.

This individual sounds disturbed and should not be allowed near our children. We are a great group of parents who would be willing to work together to ensure the safety of our children. With the number of parents now in the neighborhood, I agree with Nicole D. that we can probably get more than enough volunteers.

It is not and should not be a problem to nurse a child in a public playground. Yet this man is harassing nursing moms.

The Parks Department has been contacted. The gentleman currently serving as Tot Lot attendant will be removed of his volunteer duties right away. Thank you for letting us know about this matter and feel free to contact the CB14 office should any other issues arise in the future.
