Description

Everywhere you walk in the area near Clinton Avenue School you see mattresses, tires, ripped open garbage bags, leaf bags left on the streets and alley ways. Maybe some are planned bulk trash pickup BUT the stuff has been there for weeks. The longer it sits, the more other items get added on. My back alley looks out on responsible homeowners(on site) and renters. But the garbage and trash is encroaching on us. It is discouraging. If someone would walk the neighborhood with us you might get a sense of what we are up against. My Park Place alley falls between Dover and English. The mess I am looking at runs from Clinton Place and Park Place leading toward Atwater Street. I know that a Fair Haven Management Team meeting is planned for Thursday. I may not be available to ZOOM with you, I'm sure this is happening all over Fair Haven. Is the problem absentee landlords? Could someone let my husband and I know what the strategy for dealing with these challenges are. As lifelong residents of the city, and proud Fair Haveners-we want to see these problems addressed in every neighborhood of the Elm City, and the lovely village of Fair Haven.
