The end of Douglass Avenue floods Archived

5-39 Douglass Ave New Haven, CT 06512, USA - East Shore

The end of the street floods every time it rains because the street used to have more houses and a storm drain is past a fence that was put up after the houses were gone. Even if the water could flow past the fence, weed overgrowth and trash, it couldn't get past the eyesore concrete barrier that was placed there for some unknown purpose. A storm drain needs to be put in at the end of the street and the concrete barrier removed or replaced with something that isn't such an eyesore. This was reported by several people on the street and it was weeded at one point, but is overgrown with weeds and trash again. The flooding isn't as bad as it was, but still should be addressed.

  I haven't been contacted by any of the city departments or the Mayor's office concerning this issue. So the answer is no this problem hasn't been fixed.

  There hasn't been any activity back there. So as far as I'm concerned the problem still exists. I still haven't been contacted by the city either. It looks like my complaint is still falling on deaf ears.

Catch Basin Backup/Clog Archived

3 Hervey Street New Haven, CT - East Shore

Catch basin at corner of Woodward and Hervey (to the right of 3 Hervey Street) is clogged again. Need to have McVac come and clear the clog again. That remedied the problem immediately last year. Property consistently suffers damage during heavy rain, including during the recent hurricane. Thank you.

  CONTRACTOR? I THOUGHT the city had their own vac truck! Is this one more thing the city doesn't do with our rising taxes? What next? It's bad enough that we now have to PAY $50 for bulk trash pickup when surrounding towns charge NOTHING! Now I heard a rumor that the next PUNCH to New Haven residents is that we will have to pay by the POUND for bulk trash pickup! This city gets more ridiculous by the day! We need a COMPLETE change from CITY HALL ON DOWN!!!!

Street Drain Open

71 Parker Place New Haven, CT - East Shore

This is the low area of Morris Cove. The street drain here is the only one on the block and is full of debris and vegetation. I try to keep it weed-wacked to the level of the grate, but it needs cleaning out.

Sewer header missing Archived

14 Kneeland Rd New Haven, CT 06512 - East Shore

The metal header at the top of the sewer has been missing since LAST year! The storm drain is on the corner of Kneeland Rd. and Ft. Hale Rd. on the "high" side of the street. At one point someone put a saw horse there, but now, even that is gone! I did report this to the 311 site for the City of New Haven, but you can see where that got me!

  Thanks Rafael. I'm sure you're just wasting your time, but we'll see what happens as the MONTHS go by. They'll say they have NO money to fix it! How did the header even disappear in the first place? I'm sure no one stole it. What value is it? Maybe Schvione pays $$$ for sewer headers?
  
  It's a mystery for sure. If I get down the corner again, I'll take an updated photo which I'm sure will look JUST like the one above!

  MIRACLES never cease!!! Just saw that the sewer header on the corner of Kneeland Rd. and Ft. Hale Rd. has FINALLY been fixed! Only took about 2 years or so, but it's all taken care of now. I guess it is true that the squeeky wheel does get the grease. One more problem solved! Thanks.
  
  NOW, if we can get that "plate finder" guy to drive through the East Shore Parking lots on the weekends maybe we can find some more people who owe taxes or don't have their cars registered in CT. I didn't know that there were so many people from out of state who come to use the facilities on the East SHore. Looks like a popular destination for "tourists"!

street and sidewalk lifted by large tree roots Archived

59-93 Woodward Ave New Haven, CT 06512, USA - East Shore

large tree roots have lifted street preventing water drain off. have also lifted sidewalk at least 2in. have reported this issue many times and not corrected.this has created a dangerous situation for people walking and drainage of rain water.

  the issue was addressed and fixed the best way possible. tree roots are still an issue in the street which restricts rain water flow. I was told there is no way to fix this problem because NO tree roots can be cut. I don't believe the Mayor would like this in front of his house. I would really appreciate it if some solution could be found.

  I too walk by this area with my dog... Not sure what the deal is. Does owner understand it is their responsibility to care for their shrubs? Rather frustrating. Encroaching on home next door who I've noticed has attempted to keep the vines at bay that adjoin their property. Sometimes I see the owner of adjacent home clean up the sidewalk, and I've spoken to him about it, and he knows it's not his responsibility. He just wants the area to look nicer.

  Probably most people are spending all their money on paying taxes or working to earn that money. Maybe we have no time or interest in maintaining properties that are devaluing before our eyes. Depressing , ain't it? Maybe public works should maintain property for taxpayers who are busting their behinds working all day!!!

The storm drain next to the park is completely blocked. Every time it rains that side of the road floods causing cars to swerve into oncoming traffic.

  No change on this situation. do we have to wait for the whole street to become a sinkhole? Potholes are already undermining driveway aprons and the water is cracking the asphalt to pieces all along this heavily-traveled stretch of Townsend Ave. Delay will only mean more expensive repairs.

broken storm drain Open

167 Ocean View St New Haven, CT 06512 - East Shore

The top edge (protective hood area) of the strom drain broke and left two jagged metal edges. It is very dangerous as the gap is wide enough for a leg to fall through. There is also no curb in front of our house so the gap blends into the grass making it even more dangerous. We have reported this several times to public works, but only once did they come and put a cone out in front (which promptly went "missing"). We have tried different things to keep it safe, but nothing short of professional attention/replacement will really do.

  My father stopped a public works supervisor Friday after our trash was picked up and pointed out the issue, and the potential harm to his workers. They put up a wooden NHPW barricade, but who knows if that will last or if they actually put it on a list to get fixed.
