Serious Garbage Problem Archived

120th Street between 4th & 5th in the alley, Troy, NY - Troy

Now is a good time to view this problem. The garbage men came yesterday so you might think that the garbage is gone; well it's not; we have loose garbage strewn all over the ground; a broken dresser with drawers all over the ground, six tires and an assortment of garbage cans all over the ground. I sure hope that someone reads this and can help. Thank you.

Garbage drivers dump garbage on the ground and just leave it there Open

147 Delaware Ave Troy, NY 12180, USA - Troy

The driver of the grabage trucks on my street pick up the garbage with the automatic truck lift and spill trash on the ground and just leave it there for the wind to blow around the neighborhood and when they do get out to pick something up that is just too big to leave there they get out yelling and swearing like it's someone elses fault that it's on the ground.If they don't like or want to do their job right then maybe they should get a new one.

  Actually this complaint was about the 'Automatic Trucks" with the Forklift. NOT the guys that throw in the back. Those Large Garbage cans MUST have everything bagged in them to dump properly. I would never expect the driver to chase after blowing and loose garbage, the idea of those trucks was to have it picked up quickly and need only ONE man on a truck to cut down on taxes. He would never make it through his route chasing loose garbage of those who are uneducated or lazy that just toss it in so it falls out all over the place.

  I was the one you posted the original post .First of all all my trash is in large white trash bags so none of it is loose .I watched the gabage truck for a few weeks and every week something fell out of at least 2 trash cans on my street.On the day i posted this a bag of mine fell out of the truck and the man got out and started yelling like it was someone elses fault (like mine) was also swearing I think you you have an attitude about your job than go find another .I'm sure someone can do it better than you and with out the attitude.

  Code enforcement can't / won't even take care of the 100's of city owned abandoned buildings in Troy.
  
  Do you really think they're going to bother contacting an absentee landlord about misplaced trash cans and some garbage? Don't hold your breath!
  
  Contact your councilman and have him look into the issue. That's why you voted them in. If they ignore the problem or "glad-hand" you (as some often do), vote them out in the upcoming election.

Ross Valve air pollution needs to stop! Open

6 Oakwood Ave Troy, NY 12180, USA - Frear Park

Is anyone else sick and tired of Ross Valve polluting our neighborhood?

They'll tell you that their emissions are 100% legal but that's a lie.

The DEC is currently trying to force Ross Valve to clean up their emissions but Ross Valve refuses.

The DEC case against Ross Valve has been going on for years.

The Coke (coal by-product) they burn emits massive amounts of poisonous sulpher into the air of our neighborhood.

You've probably noticed that they almost only pollute at night now. This is because Seton Health and St Marys hospital are less active. Seton Health and St Marys hospital have both complained about Ross Valve but still, nothing happens.

What does it take to make Ross Valve stop sending poisonous fumes into our neighborhood?

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHweCFfIBoE Here's a video of Ross Valve completely ignoring the air quality laws and NOT using their "control box". That big cover on top of the chimney is supposed to be closed so all the dangerous noxious fumes are forced into the control box ... which supposedly seperates the contaminates BEFORE they are released into our neighborhood. Andy and Bill Ross are so "above the law" that they completely disregard the laws. It is no wonder that this area has been deemed an "environmental hazard" by the watchdog group "HomeFacts". http://www.homefacts.com/environmentalhazards/New-York/Rensselaer-County/Troy/Ross-Valve-Manufacturing-Co-Inc.html

  Anthony, have you gone to any of the local news stations about the foundry working conditions and the polltuion that Ross Valve is regulalry spewing into our neighborhood? I really think that once the news becomes involved, things will start to happen. People just are not aware of the pollution that a metal foundry emits. It should not be operating in a city and residetial area.

Overgrown trees obstructing stop sign Open

42 112th St Troy, NY 12182, USA - Troy

Cars regularly speed through the intersection of 112th and 6th because overgrown trees and a dumpster make it difficult to see the stop sign on the southwest corner of the intersection. Trimming back the trees at the very least would make the stop sign more visible.

Trash cans in front of corner stores needed! Open

3081 6th Ave Troy, NY 12180, USA - Troy

There are stores on either side of Douw along Sixth Ave. and the customers of these stores throw the trash everywhere. City trash cans would be a start - in front of each store and the police station.

Walking patrol should also start issuing tickets to litterers. People would think twice about tossing a chip bag on the street if they were
fined for it!

It shouldn't be up to a few concerned citizens to clean up everyone else's mess.

  I think the stores should put out their own trash can. They can place it right by their entrance this way people could use it. The City has trash cans, but they get so full really quickly, especially in that area where people put their household trash in and around these cans. Maybe we should ask the store owners if they would consider helping out the community by putting a extra trash can out.

Here I am again. The garbage in the alley of 120th Street, between 4th and 5th Avenues is just awful. Among other things, there is a mattress and box spring, headboard and footboard, 6 tires and a toilet. The above mentioned has been there for 3 weeks.

  who closes these issues???? the issue should be closed when the RESIDENTS, who pay the taxes(btw), who should be able to say that the issue is closed! Perhaps when it gets taken care of and/or accomplished, should the issue/ticket be CLOSED. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this platform for fixing the problems of the city? Not just announcing them and then turning a blind eye to them?!
  And as far as DPW goes, they drive around in circles in Troy and leave the filth behind!!! sofas, tv's and all sorts of miscellaneous trash. And if they are not driving around, they are at Dunkin Donuts on Hoosick Street, for there "morning meeting" or should I say "coffee clatch". We need to stop defending the Troy Politicians and workers and start holding them accountable for their actions or LACKTHEREOF aka~laziness!!!! They all get paid way too much for there very little effort, and they are all going to retire on your dimes)!!!!Everyone here in TROY puts them up on a pedestal for which they do not belong! Because they have all "elected" themselves and their families. Stop denying the truth that is before your eyes!!!!
  I have another idea!!!!! WELFARE REFORM! I was behind a person the other day in the super market whose cart was overflowing. She paid with food stamps!!!! And I bet that she also has HEALTH insurance. I currently hold 3 part time jobs with NO benefits!!!! The government also pays for housing!!! The government continues to do this, so that these people stay in the "system" and then the rich can get richer.
  AND maybe, just maybe, stop focusing on the "downtown" are of Troy, it is not the city of the universe, the rest of the city suffers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put in trash recepticles throughout TROY, put your fancy little logo on it if you have to and ACTUALLY PICK UP THE TRASH ON A REGULAR BASIS.

  I closed this issue due to the fact that it got very little response. I felt that I and a very few had issues with the corner stores and all the trash that their customers leave behind. There is no solution other than our CP officers taking notice or our Code Dept as they ride through. They are the only ones who can stay on top of these store owners. We are just asking that these store owners, who where allowed into this area via planning and zoning and with no resistance from residence should want to keep the appearances of their store and the surrounding corners in a clean and healthy manner. Jim's Mart the biggest offender actually told us that this neighborhood is a ghetto and so, it doesn't matter. If he asks his customers to pick up or use the garbage cans he will get beat up or will lose "money". He shrugged his shoulders and walked away and everyday the garbage is from corner to corner and because we have a "Deli/Grocery" stores on every corner and in between the trash is also in the same place. DPW cannot be responsible to clean up after these people who do not care about the neighborhood in which they live. It however is the responsibility of the store owners, and if they are not in compliance with Code then it becomes a legal issue that can be handled by our Code and CP departments. If this issues bothers others then calls to our Code dept. might be helpful in getting this resolved. If DPW is not working up to their best by leaving a trail behind and not picking up what is left out then calls to DPW's supervisors is the way to handle that. There are a lot of people who feel the same way as you do, about the entitlement population, call your local political rep. and tell them your feelings.

  Zak, the issue belongs in "Troy Council District 5" in Troy, New York. The location is 1st St and Adams St. I think it is appearing correctly on the map.

  Ive noticed that the police r stepping up there game. I wittness 2 officers pull over a white heavy set prostitute in front of 605 second Ave. She asked an elderly man for a cigarette then ask if she could do something for him. He called 911. They took her information down and took off. She lingered for awhile under a tree. I then had to ask her to leave the block. She left without a word. If you ingnore them they will stay. So lets give them some attention.....

  This issue was reported at 2nd Ave between 112th and 119th streets. It was improperly assigned to Troy Council District 5.
  
  The reporter should assign it correctly. I am closing it out of my watch area.

Saving public parking spots by placing something in the spot Archived

South Troy Troy, NY - Troy

This is similar to when people put chairs, safety cones, garbage cans and other obstructions in the on-street public parking areas to save "their" parking space.

This is a big phenomenon in south troy and it's spreading to other areas. Gotta nip it in the bud!

What gives these people the idea that they are entitled to that public parking spot and it's OK to save it by placing something in the road????

  Probably because they live there. I've never done it and don't intend to strictly because I don't want to make anyone angry but I've had to bring all of my groceries into my apartment from a block away-and I'm talking about a lot of groceries, because people love to park in front of my apartment and then go do whatever it is they're doing around Troy. As unfair as you may think marking public parking is, can we not also agree that it's unfair for residents to have to walk $150+ worth of groceries into their homes from a block away because of people who don't live there parking in front of their homes? The grass is always greener.
  Yeah, it sucks-but we're all human and all humans have a sense of entitlement. You don't think it's fair that they save their own spots in front of their houses because it's public parking and it's an inconvenience. They don't think it's fair for you to park there because they're the ones who live there and it's an inconvenience.
  Sure, it is quite unsightly when people put cones, chairs, etc. in front of their houses on the street. If people were allowed guaranteed parking in front of their homes, they wouldn't do that. And yes, some people do NOT need to save places, expressly the people that have off-street parking. They have off-street parking for a reason. There is no way to make everyone happy regarding parking in Troy.

Snow packed roads Archived

457 5th Ave Troy, NY 12182, USA - Troy

Snow has not been picked up after the previous storms. Now there is a call for a "voluntary" snow emergancy! The time to plan and deal with the snow is before the storm. The snow needs to be REMOVED from the roads, not just pushed around as it is now.

  I agree. Oakwood ave from (middleburgh to hoosick) is packed with snow. This is a busy large truck route! It's dangerous for those of us who have only on street parking. The plows don't clear all the way to the curb and each snow storm leaves less and less space to park in.
  
  Yesterday, my perfectly legally park vehicle was hit by a passing motorist. The police had to come and make a report. If the city would come through with a big snow blower or an excavator and a dump truck to haul away the snow... we'd be a lot safer and the police wouldn't be bothered with time consuming accident reports.
  
  Also, the unoccupied parts of oakwood ave sidewalks never get cleared by the city. The long stretch from sausse ave to 10th street has never been cleared. People are forced to walk in the street.

Snow needs to be REMOVED from sides of the road Archived

Oakwood Ave From Frear Pk To Hoosick St. Troy, NY - Frear Park

Oakwood Ave is a very, very busy truck route. Along with 1000's of passenger vehicles, 18 wheelers travel up and down this road all day and night.

Most residents of Oakwood ave have on-street parking only.

Since the city only pushes the snow toward the curb (into our parking spaces) and doesn't REMOVE the snow, residents are forced to park partially in the travel lane!

My vehicle was hit yesterday. I was parked as far out of the travel lane as I could get. My wheels were in the snowbank. The now banks are encroaching into the street roughly 2-4 feet away from the curbs.

The police had to waste time to come make out a report when they could have been doing something productive.

Does the city have any big snow blowing machines (like Albany has) that chew up and spit out the snow into an adjacent dump truck? If Troy has snow removal equipment, why isn't it being utilized? Especially, in busy, dangerous places like Oakwood Ave.

  If the new development were built to the standards of every other development built in Troy I would say yes. But this one has no Cul De Sac the others were required to build. Nice exposure for a liability claim should there be a problem.You know the NY Fire Code spells out the required minimums and they aren't going to be built! Imagine that.

  Last Thursday I called Code Enforcement, who found that the garbage can was filled with frozen garbage, which wouldn't empty when tipped into the garbage truck. DPW returned to the scene and replaced the can with an empty one, bringing the frozen can to the DPW garage. Thanks to Jim Cashel of Code Enforcement for taking care of this so quickly.

Old car rotting away Archived

Lindwood Court Sausse Ave Troy, NY - Frear Park

On the property of the home at lindwood court and sausse ave there is a red Saab that's sitting in the yard with weeds growing up all around it. It's been there without plates for years. It is on private property but still is an eyesore for the neighborhood. Why doesn't the owner just have it hauled away and get a few bucks from the salvage yard?

  Not quite sure about the "private property" protection. I believe it has to be surrounded by a 6 ft high fence so it can't be viewed and devalue other neighbors property. If I were the annoyed Neighbor I would call Code and ask what the situation is.

Garbage cans for three families (all renters; absentee landlords) is disgusting. Even after the garbage is picked up, the leftovers are strewn all over the alley; this is week in and week out. I have seen rats at night and bugs abound everywhere. I've asked the apt. dwellers but they don't care. I've called the City a couple of times and nothing gets done, except one time, the City sent a crew to rake and clean up. I know this sounds like no "big deal"; yet, if you saw it, OMG!, it's awful and disgusting. HELP!!!!

Please Remove Stop Signs Open

17 State St Troy, NY 12180, USA - Troy

Hardly anyone seems to stop at this four way stop.

People heading north on 2nd. literally run the stop sign even though there is NO WAY they can see if a car is coming toward them on State. St.

Lucky for them - so far - that the timing works out that there isn't a driver running the stop on State at that moment - which happens just as much - or there would be daily accidents.

Why not take these 4 stop signs and put 2 each at State and 1st. and State and River.

That way, we can have two four way stops that NO ONE stops for, instead of only one.

Progress!

  Well, State Street from First down to Front is actually two-way, but I haven't heard seen or heard of anybody going west on it on the one way blocks - although there are always people from outside of Troy who get lost and seem to have no understanding of the concept of a one way street - but is that really so common that you would call it negotiable?
  
  I do actually live "around here" - about three blocks south on Second, and drive through (and stop) at this intersection on a regular basis, but I must have missed the part about SeeClickFix being a place to vent about pet peeves without actually suggesting anything that might help make our city a better place, so I was trying to make constructive comments - my apologies.
  
  Our new mayor is talking about pedestrianizing some of the streets downtown (no details, but probably just some parts of River) but if you suggested that Second should be one of them, who knows, he might even consider it (and then we really could remove these stop signs).
