Blighted property Open

61 Black Rock Avenue New Britain, CT - New Britain

Lot is overgrown. Lot has been used in the past as a dumping ground for tree trunks, branches, yard debris and wood chips.
Portion of embankment has eroded resulting in dirt and rocks covering a portion of a large utility manhole cover that is in the adjacent sidewalk.

  Five months and nothing done about it. The sidewalk in front of this property has not never been shoveled either. Half of it remains obstructed by snow.

  Still nothing done. A portion of the hillside has sloughed off and onto the sidewalk. Much landscaping/tree cutting debris remains. Trash is a constant problem. I wonder if these guys have paid their the taxes on the property?

  Hi Mark! When I met with the mayor in January I completely forgot to mention this issue to him. I don't think his office is looking at this site, so its futile to use it for complaints. Have you tried calling the phone number they published for reporting blight?

Sidewalks Open

Columbia Monroe & Parkmore st , New Britain, CT - New Britain

sidewalks are all ripped up one lady had already fallen and hurt her anckle. We have called and also e-mailed down to the city yard and city hall.They claim no fund are there for sidewalks. So that answer means it's ok for people to get hurt.And it's sad due to all the taxes we pay in New Britain.It's a shame we have sidewalks and can't use the walking in the streets are safer oh so sad!

Several property owners between Corbin and Lincoln have not cleared their walks for the last three snowstorms. One hasn't cleared her walk ALL winter! Either enforce the ordinance or get it off the books.

  Mother Nature took care of the problem. If I waited for the property owner or the bank to clear the sidewalk I'd be dead and buried in my grave.

USE THE SIDEWALK Archived

2-74 N Mountain Rd New Britain, CT 06053, USA - New Britain

The people who walk to Wheeler Clinic and the DMV from the bus stop insist on walking on the side of the road without the sidewalk. This is dangerous as the road has somewhat of a blind curve. Please, if possible, issue jaywalking (is that still a thing) to them. There is nothing wrong with the sidewalk here.

Debris impedes pedestrian traffic Archived

61-63 Black Rock Avenue New Britain, CT - New Britain

Tree clearing on vacant lot has made using sidewalk a hazard. Tree trunks & branches left on hillside intrude into sidewalk area. Problem reported to Building Dept. late last year. Owner has not cleaned up the site.

  The owner had someone come out and clear the walk. He said he would also send someone out to clear the hill and lot but that hasn't happened yet. I guess we'll see.

  I believe it would be more more efficient if the city were to have a 311 line like New York city does. Unfortunately I don't know exactly how the system works when someone calls to report a problem but I think it would be worth looking into. Residents may not always know what department they have to call. Thank you.

Illegal parking at Bank of America Archived

New Britain Road/Main Street Kensington, CT - New Britain

Authorities in Berlin should be ashamed of the illegal parking in front of the Bank of America on New Britain Road. Cars always pull up onto the sidewalk, blocking the view of cars trying to exit. And I even saw one car almost his a pedestrian on the sidewalk. The bank itself should be concerned about someone being able to pull up right next to the front door and leave the motor running. Either take down the No Parking signs or put legal parking spaces in.
