The street is sinking and there is a drip that is about 2' x 1'. DPW fixed it a few weeks ago. It's not a pothole. It's as though the ground below the pavement is sinking.

The drain on the NE corner of Elm (887-889 Elm) and Brownell is clogged and backs up when it rains

It's been there about a week.

This house is a repeat offender in the neighborhood. The address is actually 1424-1426 Ella Grasso but they place their garbage on the Elm Street side of the property. People in the neighborhood have called the City before on this house, but the garbage remains. Time to begin fining the owner or tenant.

There is another car parked on the grass (public property) between the sidewalk and the street. This is on Whalley where Osborne Ave T's off to Whalley. They park there habitually and have destroyed the grass AND the curb. Please ticket and tow this vehicle. They should also be asked to pay for the damage to the public property. This is my second post in as many weeks. One has to wonder how many times police pass by this spot and fail to respond. They wouldn't get away with it in Guilford where the police actually live in the town. But in New Haven it seems there are no laws and nobody cares. The message is clear: New Haven is a free for all. Do as you please, break as many laws as you want because we don't enforce anything.

There is a couch out on the curb at the NorthEast corner of Elm and Brownell. This neighborhood is turning into a dump...literally and figuratively.

Chair has been there for about a week.

Looks like it was knocked down from an accident. Been down about a week

The owner of a green Honda parks in an illegal spot in front of his house every day. The car has a fake red 'boot' which makes passerby's think the car is being held by the police. So far this person has managed to fool the police.
