Abandoned home Archived

693 Orchard Street New Haven, CT 06511, USA - Dixwell

This home seems to be abandoned and could become a crack house.
Someone needs to locate the landlord of this property.
It has trash everywhere and lots of stray cats. the only good thing about the cats is that we haven't seen any mice, but the cat urine is horrible and residents are complaining more an more.

The issue has been taken care of. You may close this out

My neighbors have piled debris against my house (43 Woodland Street) Closed

41 Woodland Street New Haven, Connecticut - Dixwell

My neighbors have piled debris against my house. I reported it through the city website, and sent an email with pictures to LCI. No one has responded. Now old broken flowerpots with dirt and weeds are growing against my wall. I not only need it cleaned up so I can paint, I need the city to inform these people that they cannot throw trash against my house. They really don't understand, though they never pile it up against their own house.

Police Officers Littering Archived

85 Mansfield Street New Haven, CT - Dixwell

This morning at around 8am, I witnessed a police officer parked out front of 85 Mansfield Street enjoying his breakfast. He was drinking a hot beverage and throwing what appeared to be an orange peel and other leftover food debris out of the window into the middle of the street (a $140+ fine). While we appreciate community policing efforts in New Haven, I don't think any of the neighbors want to see increased debris on our streets.

  It might be biodegradable, but it's not going to biodegrade on the surface of the road. Instead, some of it stinks up the road and the rest is dragged off by critters.
  
  I think the vehicle number was 794, but I'm not sure. (I'd feel better if the NHPD double-checked that number with their records of who was on duty.) If I see it again, I'll take a photograph. Honestly, I was just shocked that I was watching a police officer break the law.

Noise Ordinance Violation Open

367 Elm St. New Haven, CT - Dixwell

John's trash hauling picks up private trash bins between 5-6 am twice a week, and makes noise well above the 45 dB maximum allowed by the city noise ordinance for residential areas before 7 am.

According to sec. 18-80, "All refuse collectors [i.e., private haulers] shall comply with the noise level standards as established in this article."

I've spoken to the drivers three times now, and they refuse to wait until 7 am to pick up trash.

  I believe the City ordinances allow collections starting @ 5 am in these downtown districts so that these large vehicles can move safely around the city before the streets are active with cars and pedestrians. From a public safety standpoint, that is a greater concern.
  
  2013-03-12 · Flag Flagged
- Anonymous (Guest)
  
  I think the public safety argument is bogus: Garbage trucks drive much slower and are less of a threat to other drivers and pedestrians than delivery trucks and school buses, as well as speeding passenger vehicles. Garbage trucks do hold up traffic, but enabling commuters to get to work 5 minutes earlier hardly justifies waking up city residents at 5 am 2-3 times a week. The real issue here is the convenience and profits of the trash hauling companies. At public hearings, they make a big fuss about public safety and traffic, but have no qualms about picking up trash during rush hour when it suits their needs. If public safety was a serious concern, trash pickup would be banned during these times. Rigorously enforcing the noise ordinance would simply shift most of trash pickups to late morning and early afternoon, when there isn't much car or pedestrian traffic. Why should the interests of city residents be trumped by companies and employees from outside the city?

Obstructed View at Mansfield and Munson Acknowledged

220 Mansfield New Haven, CT - Dixwell

Traffic making a left or right turn from Mansfield St. [or continuing straight on Mansfield] cannot see if cars are coming up Munson due to a large pile of snow. The snow pile is the direct result of the plowing/cleanup effort that the city initiated, but did not complete. This intersection is bad enough under normal circumstances - and because Mansfield is a one-way street, this intersection is unavoidable for many. Cars driving up/down Munson do not understand the danger present and are driving through the intersection at high speeds - its only a matter of time before there is an accident.

I thank and applaud the post-blizzard cleanup crews for their work thus far, but something needs to be resolved here soon. Either:

- This pile of snow needs to be immediately removed, or
- Temporary stop signs should be placed on Munson/Hillside at this location, until the snow pile can be dealt with

Thanks!

  Unfortunately, drivers often come up Munson w/out regard to people trying to pull out of Mansfield. This pile of snow certainly exacerbates the problem. It definitely increases the risk of an accident at this intersection.

  It IS rather treacherous. When you're turning onto Munson from Mansfield, you don't have much of a choice but to inch out slowly and cross your fingers. Thankfully, people were still driving slowly yesterday, but a temporary yield sign on Munson or a snow pile reduction would be helpful in preventing an accident.

  After last night's clean up effort, this problem has actually been made worse. The snow pile seems to be even larger. Cars coming up and down Munson cannot see if there are pedestrians crossing or cars pulling out until they are in the intersection.

  We sometimes have that problem in my neighborhood. If residents properly bag their trash before putting it in the bins, this will not happen. Maybe the city needs to do an occasional "audit" of the bins on the morning of pick-up and ticket people that are putting loose trash in the bins. That's what causes this problem. It's the residents, not the workers.

  I love Brick Oven. The food is always great, the service too, and it's a wonderful place to meet all kinds of people, in fact one of the few places on Howe I ever see families eating together. Surely if the youth baseball league kids were on this website they'd be in a huff!
  
  To focus on Brick Oven seems ridiculous, especially since the real eyesore (and nose-sore) is Main Garden, next to which I had the great displeasure of living and breathing. Nothing like the smell of grease seeping in through your walls.
  
  I always make a point of recommending Brick Oven to friends, family, and visitors--how many restaurants grow their own basil and other herbs? The whole point of slow-burning logs is that they have to be in an oven... not apt to spontaneously combust.
  
  Which is all to say that the very fact that this conversation is happening is absurd. The REAL problems on that block are the cops that use their "power" to try and pick up women, the young women constantly harassed on Howe St., the wave of thefts all along Howe and Dwight Streets, and the barely visible bus stop on the corner of Howe and Elm.

  I lived kittycorner to Brick Oven for two years and never once felt their woodpile was an eyesore let alone a potential health violation. There seemed to be considerable turnover in the stock (as would be expected of a busy establishment running a wood-burning oven) in about as neat a pile as can be expected of 10+ cords of loose firewood. Hans comments that we should support the small business owner offering a distinct product. Distinct not only in their pizza but in their friendly, family atmosphere. I hope that commenters here can restrict themselves to constructive advice for remedying any perceived wrong rather than blow apart this guy's business with vitriol.

Need a nicer bus stop here Open

35 Whalley Avenue New Haven, New Haven, CT - Dixwell

This is a busy bus stop in front of Popeye's the gas station on Whalley. There are usually a lot of people waiting for the bus here, but there are no benches and no covering for bad weather. It's just a sidewalk that depressingly abuts one random residential building (don't know if it's occupied or not) and the dumpster of the gas station. Some people make makeshift seats out of boxes and crates but it looks uncomfortable. I am an architect living nearby and wish I had the opportunity to design some seating, landscaping, and a covered shelter here. The bus riders should have a nicer spot to sit and wait.

  Go to the City of New Haven, Engineering webpage and click on the Complete Streets link in the left hand column. Read through the manual first to get an idea of the program and then fill out a request form.

  Most of the bus stops have no place to sit down, except the ones around the Green.

124 Mansfield Street - Dixwell

There is a hugely overgrown, isolated, swampy area in the large abandoned space behind Prospect-Sachem garage and the Mansfield parking lot. The wild brush is over five feet tall in many parts. There is NO lighting, and there is a steep, rock-littered path that leads from the Mansfield lot up to the back of the apartments on Prospect Street. If I were looking to rob, kidnap, or rape someone, this is EXACTLY where I would wait.

Many students who park in the Mansfield lot walk this dangerous path at night. Could whoever owns this ditch please install some lighting and mow down the overgrowth? It is a serious safety concern.

  I recommend that you camp out there to observe if any suspicious activities are happening

  I think this would be a good issue for the University Safety Committee, rather than Facilities or Grounds Maintenance, who are just following orders from the administrative higher-ups at the university.
  
  Have you tried contacting the University Safety Committee directly?

  Mark, I don't think there is such a thing as the University Safety Committee, unfortunately. I've tried checking, and the only people who seem to have anything to do with the lighting and growth in that area are Maintenance.

  Luckily, though, during the winter, basically all of the overgrowth dies, so the surrounding area becomes more visible (i.e., less easy for would-be attackers to hide in). I wish that Maintenance would do something to clear the entire area before it starts growing back in the spring, because by springtime, it's virtually a forest and would be very difficult to clear. Alas, I've put in service requests to Maintenance several times, but nothing has come of it except a promise of more lighting (which I haven't seen yet).
