Description

I get off the bus at Clinton St. & Van Dam daily and have to walk a block or to to get to my destination but the sidewalks are hazardously icy. (Curb cuts at the intersection are unsafe too) Just today I fell on the ice in front of the steps to 73 Van Dam St. I walk as carefully on the ice as I can but these sidewalks are NOT safe. I don't care if these properties are rentals or not. The wners need to take some responsibility and salt/sand/de-ice these sidewalks. If I fall again I will sue the property owner for negligence. What if someone else gets hurt? I left them a note on their mailbox but I am not happy. To many property owners are neglecting to provide safe sidewalks conditions surrounding their property. Check out the sidewalks on Church St. from Bensonhurst to West Ave. a human can barely travel those uncleared sidewalks let alone a person in a wheelchair.
