Extensive homeless camp Open

49-87 Union Street New Haven, Connecticut - Wooster Square

Behind the small dog area of the Union Street Dog Park, behind the concrete wall in the back, there is an incredible amount of trash, old clothes, garbage, liquor bottles, and a medium-sized tent set up. Someone either is living there, or has lived there for a long time in the past. This photo is taken from above, looking over the wall.

  The dopey comment from "Seriously" could only have been written by a pot smoking Occupy Wall-Streeter, or a progressive left Yale Law student.
  It's a shame that New Haven has so many of these brainless fools wandering around sleeping in dog parks and making messes everywhere.........

  Brainless fools, see there is the problem. Somehow you are "better" and they are "lesser" because they are homeless. wow they make messes everywhere, is there a garbage receptacle for these people? You want to wave your hand and say there are "programs" for these people, but you don't want to get involved in the solution, you just want to complain. If you put as much time toward helping as you do complaining you would realize programs are woefully inadequate and these people are brainless. Fact a large majority of them are combat veterans, who simply don't have useful skills that they can apply to get work. Homeless people, for the most part, don't hurt anyone. Yup they make trash, or maybe their camp sites LOOK like trash, have you been in homes of lower income people? there homes look the same way, they are just enclosed in four walls they barely afford, a hairs breadth away from being homeless themselves. If you are so concerned about trash, pick it up. Be part of the solution, not a complaining elitist who thinks they should have special privilege to space to walk their puppy.

  The brainless fool description was directed at YOU.
  You have no idea who is camping out in the dog park, but you attempt to justify it by claiming they are "homeless combat vets". Combat vets can get assistance from the V.A., if they seek it.
  There are homeless shelters, but the druggies and drunks who camp out in parks don't want to be in a shelter, where they cannot imbibe and do drugs.
  Lower income people can get all kinds of financial assistance in CT, and those on Welfare live pretty well in CT, since we have tons of assistance programs.
  None of the above is an excuse for trashing public property and creating an unhealthy environment for the general public.
  As I said, go back to your Occupy Wall Street encampment and wait for your monthly check from your parents.

Illegal Dumping Acknowledged

104 Lexington Ave. New Haven, Connecticut - Fair Haven Heights

Televisions and mattresses dump across the street from 104 Lexington Ave. They are sticking out into the street. I followed the senseless procedure and phoned the police around 9:30 A.M.. Last I checked they have not been removed..

  I called Public Works on Monday morning and was told: I needed a case number in order for something to be done:
  Asked to talked to a supervisor and was told they are not going to jump to an illegal dumping and will get to it when they get to it and that I did not necessary need a case number.
  Called the police and was told that I could not get a police report number unless I gave my name.
  Asked to talk to a supervisor and was told they would do something but a police officer would have to go and make a report. I did see one a few minutes later but mind you I first called
  the police on Saturday morning. I had to go through all this just to get an illegal dumping removed. Here we have the City Of New Haven requiring an officer to go and make a report on an illegal dumping but they will not go and do a report if your $20,000 car is stolen. Something is wrong here.This policy must be changed. Here are some of the reasons why New Haven is a laughing stock and the only solution may be to move.

  I doubt if New Haven is the only city with such ridiculous red tape but, nonetheless, it's stupid. I guess we can't be trusted to accurately report what we see in our neighborhoods, dumping being the least of it!!

  Even if there are 20 other cities with so much red tape it does not make it right.

String of auto break ins Open

Mountain Top Lane New Haven, Connecticut - Fair Haven Heights

There was recently a string of auto break ins. Worst of all the two tried entering a home through a window before they were scared away by an alert home-owner. All of the neighborhood is talking about this... too bad.

  What are the police doing about this and was anyone hurt? Where is our alderman at with this issue? Also is anyone going to do anything about the over growth of tree branches in the area?

  yeah, that is what the problem is. What about the boarded up houses full of trash around the corner. Are you kidding me. And what about the fake church on Howard where there was a knife fight last week. Come on.

Dangerous Pothole Open

  I reported this two weeks ago and the issue was closed...clearly the issue hasn't been fixed. This isn't a pothole but a recessed manhole cover and it needs to be addresses ASAP! It's very dangerous and can cause serious damage. There is also a similar hole in the middle of the Orchard/George St intersection.

Overly-deep manhole trenches Acknowledged

270-330 Orchard Street New Haven, Connecticut - West River

There's what looks like a new manhole on Orchard Street, west side, just south of the entrance to the ER. But, it's unfilled, and is a huge pothole that's hard to avoid - I feel sorry for patients with back problems who hit it!

It looks like there is another similar manhole situation just past the intersection with George Street too.
