Fix New Rochelle

The properly at 96 locust avenue (north east corner of the Locust Ave -- Union St intersection) is strewn with debris on the rear of the property. Additionally, one of the large bluestone sidewalk pavers on the Union St. side of the properly has been completely lifted up and rests on top of the surrounding pavers. The paver is a significant tripping hazard.

The Senior Citizen crossing sign in the vicinity of 77 Maple Ave, near the Hugh Doyle Senior Center, is defaced with Graffiti.

Various locations on the grounds of Isaac E. Young Middle School have grass and weeds that are in excess of 2 feet tall and some areas are strewn with litter. Most notable is the hill that faces Church Street, the area outside the cafeteria, and the rear parking lot. In general it seems that any area on the grounds of IEY where the grass must be cut with a weed trimmer has not been maintained for many months. See photos attached to this report.

Graffiti on the blue US Postal Service Mailbox located on the south corner of the Centre Ave / Poplar Place intersection.

The stop sign located on the southwest corner of Centre Ave and Davis Ave, in the vicinity of 185 Centre Ave, is defaced with graffiti and stickers.

Graffiti scrawled on the green US Postal Service mailbox located on the north-east corner of the Hanford Ave - Leland Ave intersection.

The house located at 42 South Division Street has an unsafe and illegal addition towards the back of the house on the top floor. The addition is visible from inside the Church/Division parking garage. The addition is a cornucopia of old windows and spare construction materials, please view the photograph attached to this report to fully appreciate the problem.

Some of the halogen lights located on the upper deck of the Church/Division parking stay illuminated all the time, even in bright daylight. Leaving the lights on during the day seems to counteract the energy savings from the new LED lights that the City of New Rochelle recently installed on the lower decks of the garage. Perhaps daylight sensors can be used to turn off the light fixtures on the upper deck when there's sufficient natural light. The photograph attached to this issue shows the lights on during mid-day in bright sunlight. Additional light fixtures on the upper deck do not work at all due to the effects of vandalism and deterioration.

There is a pile of accumulated litter on the sidewalk in front of 201 Centre Avenue.

Graffiti scrawled on the Green US Mail box located on the south corner of the Centre Avenue and Trinity Place intersection.

Graffiti on west side of the Naval Armory building on Main Street, next to McDonald's restaurant. The graffiti is visible from the parking lot of McDonald's.

Graffiti on the Verizon FIOS distribution box located on a utility pole, across the street from 186 Church St, in the vicinity of the Issac E. Young Middle School driveway.

There is a broken guardrail under the Church/Division Parking Garage near the north-west corner of the Clinton Place/Church Street intersection. The area is also covered with years worth of pigeon droppings. Perhaps a pedestrian opening can be made in this area when the guard rail is fixed (many people step over this guardrail to get back and forth to their cars from Church Street). The City of New Rochelle will make this part of Church Street 2-way on 10/2/2013 in an effort to make it easier to get to the garage from Main Street. Now is a good time to fix up this garage so that people will want to use it. How about a paint job for the garage too?

The public telephone stand, located on the east corner the Memorial Hwy and Main St. intersection, has graffiti scrawled on it. The telephone stand is just outside the former location of Almarc Pharmacy.

The south east stairwell of the Church-Division parking lot has become an eyesore. The windows on the stairwell are boarded up and the exit door at the bottom of the stairwell has graffiti. Proper repairs must be made to the stairwell and the graffiti removed.

An unoccupied home owned by the Bank of America at 29 Handford Ave. is completely overgrown with grass, plants, and shrubs.

Shrubs located on the north-east intersection of Church Street and Davenport Avenue (223 Davenport Ave) are located directly on the corner of the property at the curb line. The tops of these shrubs reach 4 - 4.5 ft above the roadway surface and block the view of traffic and pedestrians. Cars must creep into the intersection in order to see oncoming cars and people on the sidewalk. These shrubs cause a dangerous condition and require trimming or removal in order to correct the line of site issue.

The brick home located at 185 Pelham Road, at the intersection with Mt. Etna Place, has bags of garbage and debris strewn all over the property. The place is in deplorable condition and it's located right across the street from Trinity School. It's literally a DUMP. Ivar Hyden and Noam Bramson -- We need your help!!!
