Illegal ATV's Archived

17-19 Atwater St New Haven, CT 06513 - Chatham Square

These guys race up and down our street from Grand to Grafton and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and ... you get my point. no helmets, blowing through red lights and stop signs, narrowly missing pedestrians and causing a ridiculous amount of noise? what can be done? i think they might originate from the garage just to the right of 17-19 Atwater st right near grand ave. sometimes there are multiple ATV's and also a number of dirt bikes.

We Need an Intervention Open

Lewis St New Haven, CT - Chatham Square

It is very sad when going to select a "Category" to post here and our poor little street suffers all the issues but two. There have been a number of posts from a number of people living on this street and nothing has been done to correct ANY of the issues.

I contacted our Alderman via email, phone, and text and have not received so much as a peep. Every single person on this street is sick of the trash, noise, crime (drugs, prostitution, etc), blight, condemned property, that plague our street on a daily basis.

Since my first posting there have been no less than six used condoms in front of our homes (not to mention the piles of drug paraphernalia), on the streets and sidewalks where our children walk and we get out of our cars. I had company over and her son stepped on a used condom and it stuck to his foot and went into their car -- that is unacceptable.

I think a street meeting with some city officials is due.

  I believe the Alderman job is a stepping-stone into politics for those who want the job - or even a way to get personal favors done in the city. They are paid something like $2,000 a year, what could we realistically expect from them?

  Has anyone looked into whether local residents could be hired to help clean the streets? Litter seems to be a major problem in many neighborhoods.
  
  In the past, the City had programs to hire local youth, long-term unemployed, ex-offenders, and others who have difficulty finding jobs in disadvantaged neighborhoods to help clean the streets.
  
  Maybe the unions opposed that? I think our problems are so bad that we need to throw out the old rules, and start making every effort to keep our streets clean and safe, and employ local residents.

  Hi all,
  
  I just reached out to Gabe. I think the suggestion of having a small meeting to discuss the specific issues and come up with specific action items to address them would be appropriate. (ie. LCI's suggestion about the lighting is a good one.) It seems from this post that people would like to focus primarily on this block of Lewis Street, correct? If that is the case, perhaps one or two of the folks on this post would be willing to help set up a meeting?

  New Haven Coalition to Stop Illegal Traffic
  
  The New Haven Coalition to STOP ILLEGAL TRAFFIC (SIT) on our streets had its second meeting on Sept. 18. Alderman Justin Elicker reported that since our meeting last month, the city has started a concerted effort to address the issue of dangerous and illegal use of dirt bikes, all terrain vehicles, and other illegal motorized vehicles on our streets. Currently, police do not have the authority to seize and hold illegally operated motorized bikes and ATVs. Therefore, violators can reclaim impounded vehicles shortly after being caught by paying a small fine to the towing company.
  On September 18, 2012, SIT members decided that the quickest way to make our streets safer is to rally the community in support empowering the city to take more aggressive actions against illegally operated dirt bikes and ATVs.
  
  What the city is doing:
  1. The Corporation Counsel (the lawyer for the city) has been directed to explore the legality of the city taking possession of non-registered dirt bikes, atvs, etc. that have been operated illegally and destroying them. Other enforcement ordinances are also being explored.
  2. The City is in conversation with state legislators about state-level action.
  
  What Coalition members and supporters are being asked to do:
  a. Call the Office of the Mayor (203)946-8200 and tell the Mayor that you are concerned about this issue and that you want results by next summer 2013.
  or
  b. Write to the Mayor at MayorDestefano@newhavenct.net. You may want to include the following points:
  “I am a concerned citizen who is frustrated by the increase in use of illegally operated dirt bikes and ATVs on New Haven streets, inside New Haven Parks, and near playgrounds and other recreation areas. It is my understanding that the NHPD has a long standing no-chase policy, which I agree with given the chances that a chase could result in injury of an innocent bystander. However, more needs to be done. I support the city’s effort to create policies that will eliminate the reckless behavior before someone else is killed. We’ve had many close calls already in 2012; a little girl was hit by a dirt biker while waiting at a bus stop with her dad, and a dirt biker himself suffered life-threatening injuries after losing control of an unregistered illegally operated dirt bike. Please, do what is necessary. You have my support!"

  Tired of this issue? Then show your support this Tuesday 11/13 @ 6 p.m., all should attend, no excuses! If not you, and us, then who? Tell everyone you know and bring them along if needed--lets pack the room, this may be our only chance for this type of City-wide meeting. Please distribute widely.
  
  via Alderman Justin Elicker:
  "There will be a public hearing on the dirt bike ATV issue Tuesday, 11/13 at 6pm in Board of Aldermen Chambers at City Hall. It's an opportunity for people to express their concerns about the dirt bike issue and for the City to talk about what we plan on doing. Could you all help get the word out?"

Illegal Mechanic Shop Archived

88 Perkins Street New Haven, CT - Chatham Square

Multiple neighbors have been reporting this for over a year now: the people at 88 Perkins Street are running a mechanic shop/detailing business on the street on Perkins and on Pine Street. Jacks, tires, motor oil, noise, trash and debris are a constant problem. Constant parade of cars being worked on. Isn't this an environmental hazard as well? I know different neighbors have phone LCI, other have called and still, 88 Perkins Street continues to be a BLIGHT on an otherwise fabulous street.

  Hello there I am the owner of 88 Perkins street. I apologize to the neighbors for the blight on this premises. I will be taking the necessary steps at this time to clean up the property fully. As for the illegal mechanic work, I had no clue this was going on, but myself, along with LCI and A sargeant from new haven are making sure this work stops immediately. I will be having the property fully cleaned up and will be landscaping it this summer as well to bring the beauty back to this block

Barking, Whining Pitbull Archived

39 Downing Street New Haven, CT - Chatham Square

The dog at this house is either outside or locked in a small interior foyer all of the time and barks at all hours of the day and night. It is also much too close to my property, and I am concerned it will get loose and hurt me or my children. It presents a noise nuisance and safety concern. I can't enjoy my own backyard.

  Thank you, Justin. The address is actually, I believe, 40 Downing Street; it's the house at the corner of Downing and Grafton. This has to stop, and anything you can do to help would be very much appreciated. The dog has been barking and whining non-stop all day today beginning at about dawn. I get severe migraines, and today's constant racket triggered one. I can even hear the dog with all of my windows shut. I shouldn't feel like I have to escape my own house to get some peace.

Extreme Noise Nuisance Archived

273 Chatham is home to several repeat noise ordinance offenders, who shout explicatives at anyone who asks them to turn their music (booming bass cars) down. Complete disregard for the law and anyone else. Is there a recourse?

  Additional info for Alderman Rodriguez: One vehicle is a dark green Acura, CT plate 326UWM. I have asked repeatedly that they keep the stereo down, as I can't even talk to someone in my own house when it goes by. They've started turning it down AFTER they pull into the driveway, but not when they're arriving or leaving. You can hear them coming home from Ferry Street. He drives around Fair Haven at this volume, as well.
  
  A second vehicle is a pale green Honda Civic, CT plate 977WFZ and this is not a resident of the house. However he comes by often and not only has a very loud stereo but a modified car horn which is much shriller and which he uses freely. Numerous neighbors have asked him to keep it down but he gets very angry and instead pumps up the volume even more. He's always gone before police would have time to arrive. Any help that you can give in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Can we please get some noise enforcement in Fair Haven? There's a green, 2-door Honda hatchback, CT plate 584-XJK that refuses to play music at a civilized tone, to say the least; music is always blasting from this car as it drives around Fair Haven, at all hours of the day and night. It is garaged at 273 Chatham St.

PartyHouse Archived

397 Lombard St New Haven, CT 06513 - Fair Haven

A very, very loud party here Saturday night until 3am Sunday, with a DJ. We called the Police at 12:55, 1:15, 1:45 and 2:20 but never saw an officer. We went to this house several times and pounded on the doors but there was no way anyone inside the house could hear that. Finally, a little after 3am, the someone from the Fire Dept across the street went over there (the guys couldn't sleep from all the noise, either), and pounded on the doors and the windows until someone came out. As it turns out no one could speak English anyway, so it wouldn't have done us any good to throw around phrases like 'noise ordinance.' Fortunately the FD guy spoke Spanish.

Can someone who speaks Spanish deal with this loud house? We lost a day's work because of them.

I-91 Sound Barrier/Embankment/Land Behind Residences Archived

100 300 Dover St New Haven, CT 06513, USA - Chatham Square

There is a one to two foot gap at the bottom of the barrier wall almost the entire length of Dover St. It allows noise and "fallout" from the vehicles on I-91 (n/b entrance ramp and roadway itself) into the neighborhood. Either needs to be filled in or dense plantings to fill the gap. There is a steep embankment leading up to the barrier wall full of overgrowth and dead trees. Lastly, at the bottom of the embankment, there is trash & debris piled behind some residences. It all needs to be cleaned up.

Constant speeding and loud vehicles from approx 12 noon until late. Have created issue before on the speeding but nothing is happening. They put a movable sign on the street for a couple of weeks but really didn't do much. Once again: The speeding creates a dangerous situation. The police seem totally passive about enforcing traffic laws on this street. I also want noise ordinances enforced for loud exhaust and music. Rediculous. This place is like a free-for-all.

Noise in Chatham Sq Park Open

I've been forced to listen to about three hours of amplifier assisted proselytizing coming from the center of Chatham Sq Park. I called the police to complain about the noise (I have my windows closed & I can hardly hear my own tv) over an hour ago and it continues. There is no way this type of noise is OK! I am all for freedom of religion, but I don't believe anyone should force their views on others. This group/church does this constantly around the neighborhood.

16 Lewis St New Haven, CT 06513 - Chatham Square

I live next door to this address and I am tired of the problems stemming from this house. We just gathered as neighbors on this street and decided that we need to take action over here on this and all our other issues.

The police were at this house so many times this summer I cannot even count.

We know for a fact that one of the guys who lives here has a warrant for his arrest. If the police need help picking this criminal up just stop by any of the houses other than 16 Lewis St and we will give you all the info you need to take this criminal off the streets.

We want our street returned to some sense of normalcy. Is that too much to ask?

There's an illegal mechanic shop on the corner of Pine Street and Perkins Street. They are operating out of a residential address and have multitudes of cars in and out all day both what appear to be mechanical repairs and auto detailing. Heavy equipment in the streets and lots of parking occupied by cars waiting for repair. Lots of noise in the day 'revving' car engines. Let's help get them into a commercial space so they can work freely and the neighborhood can maintain its character.

There is construction going on at Pine & Atwater street ( Mary Wade Home) and the noise today has just been so loud. It's bad with the car's racing, the blasting of so called music. Now we have to put up with the constant noise of beep beep as the trucks back up and the blowing of the air horns not to mention the loud banging.

Come on this is a residental area NOT a commerical work zone

Ice Cream Truck Gone Awry Archived

Chatham Square New Haven, CT 06513, USA - Chatham Square

I thought maybe I had become a curmudgeon, but after speaking with other friends and neighbors in the Chatham Square neighborhood, it's clear I'm not the only one who's sick of the ice cream truck. I don't know what the truck looks like, because I was afraid I would confront the driver (and not nicely) if I bothered to go out and check, but there is an ice cream truck that not only drives around with music blaring, but also has that horrible recorded "Hello!" bellowing well past 9:30 p.m. many nights, including weeknights. I make my children go to bed at 9:00 p.m., and I don't make it much longer, so this is a major annoyance, to say the least. All of my other friends who are parents find this after hours ice cream truck ridiculous and annoying, too. Is there some sort of noise ordinance against this? I would hate to egg the ice cream man, but I'm getting really close to doing it!

  I second the plate because I am wondering if it is the same truck that blocks my street. When I go home today, I will record the plate to see if it matches what you all are seeing.

cracked manhole cover Archived

36 Perkins Street New Haven, CT 06513, USA - Chatham Square

Manhole is cracked all the way across in two places. Makes a lot of noise when cars run over it. I would think it is likely to fail if it gets a heavy enough load over it.

Loud Party Archived

Grafton St & Pine Pl New Haven, CT 06513 - Chatham Square

I live a block away and had to close all my windows on 6/13/09 due to the party they had. I called the NHPD @ 7:30pm and was told they already had a few complaints and would send some one out. The loud party continue till 9:46.

I know summer is here and I live in the city an expect noise but when you can hear it over a blockaway...... When is the NHPD going to do something about the noise levels from cars, at parties at all hours of the day and night.

  TO: Alderman Rodriguez, I would like to say thank you for your responds here on see click fix to this problem. I can see you are a good man for the job, because not many people would take time on a nice sunday afternoon to respond to his community problems.
  
  I live on Atwater street in the 100's section and Alderwoman Erin Sturgis-Pascale is our alderperson here and she never responds to anything here on see click fix. I have even email her in the past and never got a responds from her. I belive the only part of Alderwoman Erin Sturgis-Pascale ward she is worried about is on Front Street and Grand Ave near Front st. Ever time she is in the paper it always on these two streets. Maybe next time you see her you could remind here that her ward extends past front streeet.
  
  Once again thank you for any help you can give us in Fair Haven with the loud noise.

  To Jon D.
  I have spoken to LT. Casanova and he received voice messages regarding the properties in question in that area (Atwater, Grafton, and Pine Streets) He has already begun addressing the problem. He is in the process of speaking to the landlords in hopes of not just educating them on our city's Noise Ordinance but their tenants as well.
  
  He also noted a few of his officers including him have begun ticketing vehicles who's car music is unbearably loud as well. Seems like their on top of it, lets see how next weekend goes...

  addressing noise around our properties in this area to police seem like a worthless effort. At one point out of the countless times i called police for people constantly hanging in front of my house whom dont live here at 1 am police did come stood on the corner didnt tell the 10 guys to leave and just told them keep it down and left. without telling them to leave. we have no peace and quality of life doesnt seem to bother anyone because "its fair haven and its supposed to be loud" thats what the motto seems to be with us. we pay taxes just like those in the cove but the police service will never compare and it comes from the same department. Why is this?

  I mentioned this to the Police that made me come out of my house to talk on 3/13/11 after I heard gunshots in the Chatham Square Park...I called it in, we don't have shot finder technology in this part of Fair Haven. The Officer said he was going to to address the go-cart and mini bike, that day. I'm still waiting.
  The mini bike is gone but there is now a red dirt bike tormenting the neighborhood-- that resides at the same residence: Atwater and Chatham.

  The go cart seems to be out of the picture but the two preteen youths w. red dirtbike--wheelie kid and lime green dirtbike with green white and black helmet rode circles thru Lombard cutting through traffic and driving down sidewalks on Grafton from around 2:30 to 5:30 P.M. today Sunday April 3 2011. I don't want to be any part if and when someone gets hurt.Tthese kids are fearless, bold and appear to be directing clients in the direction of where they can score drugs. I;m assuming the go-cart quit or was confiscated.

Noise Disturbance/Abandoned (?) Dog Tied in Backyard Barks Non Stop Archived

24 Fox Street New Haven, CT - Fair Haven

Dog is tied in Backyard behind 24 Fox Street, barks and yelps nonstop all day long, especially saturdays and sundays. Noise disturbance audible for blocks. This is a blue house on Fox street, no house number visible, but it is between 22 and 26 Fox street. I have spoken with the owner, called the police, called animal control and the animal shelter. This Noise Disturbance is a huge problem for workers and residents in the area.

Illegal Fireworks - Extremely Loud! Open

407 Lombard St New Haven, CT - Fair Haven

The male owner and/or resident of this house is setting off fireworks (illegal in Connecticut) in the driveway, and is creating a huge noise disturbance. Tonight it was at 9:30 pm and the noise is incredibly deafening. In addition these fireworks are causing RED HOT CINDERS to rain down on the vehicles parked in the street, the houses and the yards of everyone around. I'm not even on Lombard and my vehicles were hit. This is unacceptable, is illegal and is a huge noise nuisance. What can be done about this? Thank you.

  I've heard fireworks for at least a week. Is this where they're coming from? I understand that the Fourth is around the corner, but I agree that the nightly noise is too much, particularly if it's also causing dangerous sparks and cinders. I'd like this fixed, too.

  This is one of the houses; they put on a huge display of illegal fireworks every 4th, and apparently they decided to start early this year. There's also some kids across the street that set off some smaller fire crackers & possibly fire works, but not nearly as deafening as 407 Lombard's.

Using Car Horn as Door Bell Open

87 Bright Street New Haven, ct - Chatham Square

Cars continually come at all hours of the day and night honking their horns. They are using their horns as door bells to get the friends and family to come out to their car. Even either picking up people or calling them over to their car with their horn to chat with them.

Officer C. Colon of the New Haven police department feels that this is just “ordinary city life” and “(we) Just need to live with it.”. Some people in the community believe that it is okay to honk as much as wanted and does not understand how it can bother anyone.

Well I happen to sleep at different times and these horns being used as door bells wake me up. It is no one’s right to tell me when I should be sleeping or awake, nor is it anyone’s right to make excessive noise and to breech my peaceful environment.

I am asking that the New Haven Police department acknowledge this as an issue. I understand that CT does not have any ordnances on horn honking, but there is a “Breach Of Peace” law and I believe the police should utilize this law to enforce unnecessary honking in New Haven.

Additionally our state legislators should create a law to protect citizens against unnecessary honking and to provide an infraction for unnecessary honking, enforceable by police.

  This is a huge problem in New Haven. It is NOISE POLLUTION but no one seems to want to acknowledge it as such. The most confusing thing is that everyone has a cell phone these days - you can't CALL the person and say "Hey, I'm here, come on down" instead of honking your obnoxious horn all hours of the day and night? It's also just plain lazy.

  It is a problem. It has bothered me since the first day I lived here. The people that do it are definitely lazy, self-centered, obnoxious, rude, and usually fat.
  
  I suggest buying an air-horn and blowing it in their window when they honk.

The three houses at 204-206, 208-210, and 212-214 have crowds of people very loud and active most nights from around 8pm to 2am. Two of the houses also have basketball hoops in front and that contributes to the noise, crowds, and rowdiness.
