Description
The large number of people who frequent the liquor store next to the empty house at 430 Shelton Avenue, New Haven loiter there from the minute the liquor store opens (10:00a.m. Monday thru Friday, and 12noon on Sunday's) until well after it closes 7-days a week. Said people, have verbal and physical altercations; play loud music; dance in the street; sit in lawn chairs in front of 430 Shelton; openly drink beer and alcohol, and loudly swear in front of women and children. Additionally, the residents who have to park on the street, have no place to park when we come home from work, and we can't go out on weekends because we'll lose our parking space. It is, primarily, an elderly neighborhood, and we are being held hostage by this deplorable situation. The Police Department seems to think that New Haven ends at Read Street. It doesn't. It ends just past 430 Shelton Avenue. We need the Police to regularly patrol our block (several times each day, 7-days per week), and to ask the loiterers to leave, and to start arresting them for the illegal activities we all see them engaging in daily. It’s been going on for too many years, and we have had enough!

I would suggest you contact your LCI Officer the property could be considered a public nuisance and owner would need make report of trespassing.
It is what it is ! Some people like to hang out drink with friends seeing it might not be pleasing to some but legal, when people drink and become fools that when the B S starts.
Trust me you are not alone lots of area have same issue, I feel bad for the people that feel they are being held hostage in their own homes.
Contact your neighbors DEMAND a meeting with LCI & district Police Manger

I'm closing this issue because nothing's ever going to change! Neither the City of New Haven nor the City of Hamden's officials care!
After 13-years of being immersed in illegal, and illicit activity, and feeling like a prisoner, I had ENOUGH!!! I moved out of that neighborhood, and out of New Haven, and have no plans to return.
Three years ago, immediately after a New Haven Town meeting, I handed Toni Harp documentation and photographs depicting the horrendous activities. She did NOTHING! One of the reasons I stopped voting for her.
Also, three years ago, a joke of a meeting was held between myself, my fellow neighbors, Hamden's Mayoral representative, New Haven's Police Dept., Hamden's Chief of Police, Hamden's Councilwoman, Schumaker, and New Haven Alderwoman, Delphine Clyburn. Result: NOTHING!!!!
