rooster is gone, I know the family

Thank you. Since you know them you should ask them why they are so thoughtless and disrespectful to their neighbors/neighborhood. Thank you for your help.

It can be dangerous to try to deal with some people.

Yes it can, but Juanita said she knew the family. Who would think it's okay to have a rooster living in such a dense area? Why have one unless you are fighting them, which is illegal. People in this are are so inconsiderate. Especially when I have to hear their incredibly bad music playing.

Call the police

The rooster is not gone. It's crowing away as I write this. My girlfriend, who was home today, said it's been crowing all day. I don't know who Juanita spoke to or why this was closed by her but the issue is not solved. What is wrong with these people? Do they not know people work different hours of the day and night?

I did get a call by LCI saying they are working on the issue, so I did appreciate the call back. Hopefully they can take care of this issue soon.

my bad, I did not hear it this morning so I assumed he got rid of it this weekend. I know many people who buy chickens just for the eggs and I also know rosters occasionally come with hens. I know he is working on getting rid of it.

Okay thanks. Can't chickens make eggs without a rooster? He wouldn't be fighting them, would he? Does he not realize he doesn't live on a farm and everyone in the neighborhood could hear that animal?

I'll take the rooster over dirt bikes any day! When you get chicks very young it can be difficult to sex them and the rooster may have been received inadvertently. At least the owner is working on finding it an appropriate place to live. Lighten up! It's a bird. ( yes, we had one in our neighborhood for ages, it wasn't that bad)
Why assume its used for fighting?

They assume its for fighting because we live in the ghetto. The only business that can survive here is a wine shop and crack pipe deli.

The rooster should not be here because it is against the law it is as simple as that . The city should do something.

Frontstreeter, what I don't understand is why people around here need to make noise for everyone else. Why should I have to hear loud crappy music blaring into the morning, roosters, etc. I used to live and let live but enough. If someone had a party once in awhile I didn't care. Now me and my neighbors don't hesitate to call the cops because if not, it will be a weekly, or worse, nightly thing in the summer.

I understand FHHN, we deal with the same issues across the river. BELIEVE ME! I guess the naturally occurring sound of a rooster is much more pleasant than thumping stereos, drag racing, dirt bikes and inconsiderate littering, rude, people in general. Hope the rooster clucks off to a stock pot very soon!

Ha, Lexington Ave did lose a rooster to a stock pot this weekend, now I'm hearing one 5 houses down! I'm with you frontstreeter, a rooster is a heavenly noise compared to dirtbikes, racing cars and the sound and smell of burning rubber. And to think we moved to the Heights because it seemed quiet, if only the cops had a slight presence on the street...

I'll take a stab at that- walk around Quarry Park trails sometime, you'll see an old rooster raising farm on the south end to the east of the school. People on the edge of the park dump garbage in it and raise roosters. I know the house you speak of and I wouldnt worry about @#$% fighting, its a good family.

The rooster is not on Lexington Ave. It's on Revere.

This is the owner of 177. We do not have a Rooster in our house. I knew we were going to be blamed for it. By the way I know who's making the complaint as always. Get a life and leave us alone. We don't bother anyone in this neighborhood. Have a great day and good luck finding the rooster.

In my original post, I clearly state that I believed it was 177 or 173. I never said it was for sure because I don't know. I'm not an inspector so I can't go on other people's property to tell who has the rooster. By the way I have a life. I also work 2 jobs so I don't need an f'n rooster crowing all day. Maybe you don't work or need any sleep but I do.if you didn't do anything wrong don't get so offensive.

I meant defensive. The rooster must be close to you if you thought you would be blamed for it.

I hear the rooster and it doesn't bother me at all. By the way I have 3 jobs my friend. I don't hide behind a computer to make people life miserable. You can come in person and knock at my door. Ill be more than happy to help you find the rooster.

Me hide? Haha, when do you want me to come over?

By the way, I'm not trying to make anyone's life miserable but the rooster is making mine less pleasant. This isn't the country, it's an urban area, hence, it's illegal. Don't make me out to be the bad guy.

FHHN you are absolutely correct and certainly not the bad guy. Stockpot is coming to a boil...

Hahaha, thank you for the reassurance frontstreeter.

Well my dear neighbord I don't have a rooster at my house. Like I said before. Come and knock at my door and try to find the rooster. You're more than welcome. The house with the rooster is actually 155. It bothered me that instead of you coming to my door, you put my address out on the Internet like that.

How else would I possibly describe to it LCI or anyone else investigating? I never said to anyone that it was 177 for sure. I just said it sounded like it was coming from there or 173. I can't hunt down the thing nor do I have the time to, nor is it my job to. By the way, you just put 155 out there so....

Yes I know, it's unfortunate I had to stoop down to your level to get my point across.

Yeah trying to keep the neighborhood as pleasant as possible without farm animals, people illegally dumping bulk trash into the woods, and blaring music some nights. I'm must be such a bad neighbor. I was even cool with the occasional loud party once in awhile on a weekend night because I know people like to have fun. Then it got to be 3 or 4 nights a week in the summer. I've even come over and asked nicely to no avail. I would also go yearly into the woods and pick up others people trash because it was disgusting, but now I'm sick of it. Maybe you want to live on a farm with roosters crowing, and bulk garbage laying all over the place and music that makes your house shake into the wee ours of the morning, but I don't. The problem is always when people don't care.

Fair Haven Heights Neighbor you are right. Sometimes i think the only solution is to move. Lets see how these people feel when they drive down their property values which all the things you mention will do.

Thank you Connecticut.

A rooster should not be living here. It is illegal and should be handled by the city stat. Why this has been allowed to go on as long as it has is mind boggling. Why are we responsible for self policing and enforcing city rules and regulations. This city is a joke.

What property values? There is no value in our property anymore. With lack of dependable infrastructure, excessive crime, drug activity,absentee landlords, blighted property galore and very bad schools. We have nothing here anymore. This place a sweltering pit of corruption on the edge of Yale with a waterfront view.

Yeah, we'll when you got people like Lexington ave. who tells me to "stop bothering people," "get a life," and stop trying to "make people's life miserable" all because I complained about rooster then you see what the problem is. Lexington ave. also said they like the rooster. So according to Lexington ave. I'm the problem, not the people with a rooster crowing in New Haven.

There is a noise ordinance, and the city will send out a cruiser with the decibel meter if you call and ask.

There is no need for the city to send out a cruiser with a decibel meter. The ordinance states no rooster.

To guest concerning property values, it has not gotten as bad as you stated but it could.

CT, I was referring to the party noise mentioned above.

Over the past couple of days, I've heard a rooster crowing here in the East Shore...either 816 or 818 Townsend Avenue. Both back yards are fenced, so one can't see exactly where it's coming from.
