Chelsea, MA PLUS

Not only is the bare minimum barrier (cheap fencing) put up, neighbors and passers by must see the port-a-potty, the gaping hole and be subject to the dust, dirt and concrete pollution due to no solid barriers placed. This management company is causing noise and actual pollution, they sign off much layer than city ordinances allow, and leave a disgusting mess for the residents of this otherwise quiet street. They start at the crack of dawn and go until the late hours. During a time when residents are subject to be working from home or recovering from a public health crisis in a Covid-19 hot spot, this is just the icing. We place calls and complaints all of the time and no action is ever taken. This management company cares nothing about the residents and it is clear they are paying their way through unsafe and egregious safety hazards. Solid barriers must be placed. Not only is in an invasion of privacy for neighbors, it’s noise pollution in a space not fit for building. This street houses veterans and handi-capable citizens who wake up and fall asleep to these construction sounds during these times. This is a disgrace and whoever approved this should be ashamed. We will continue to place calls and ask for follow up.

As you can clearly see in the picture, there is dirt that has been there for going over a week. This dirt has spilled into the street. As a resident of this street, I would like to politely request that this company not only keep their dirt to their confined limits, but if it spills to the neighboring lot and the street, have the decency to clean up after yourselves. This is disrespectful and rude. We did not ask for your dirt on our lot and it is rather inconvenient and disrespectful to us that you have left this there and have not even considered cleaning up after your mess. You block our sidewalks and make us see and hear every detail of your noisy site while you take pictures and walk away to leave us with this mess. Thank you, city of Chelsea for your attention to this matter. If nothing comes of it, well, we know the reputation this tiny city has for corruption. All the best.
