    After rains, the sidewalk on the east side of the walking tunnel under NJT floods quite a bit with 2 puddles that are deep. Can better drainage we implemented since there's no way to walk around these?
  • 194 Hillside Ave Chatham, NJ, 07928, USA - Chatham Borough

    We've had an increase in flooding over the last year on our property (194 Hillside Avenue) due to landscaping and road building work done by the Fairmont Cemetery that borders my backyard. There is also a drainage ditch on the Fairmont Cemetery property, but it has fell in disrepair, is overgrown and it is not up to standard to prevent water from flooding my yard and sometimes my basement.

    As can be seen from the photograph taken after the rain on July 6, 2020, the water collects on the new road in the Fairmont Cemetery property and then flows down a steep bank into my yard. The berm at the bottom of the hill (also on the Cemetery property) is inadequate to channel water down the drainage ditch and the water go right through the berm into my yard. Upon inspection today I noticed that the lowest point of the road on the Cemetery property is directly above my house. There is no drainage ditch at the road's lowest point, with the result that the water runs down the embankment towards my property. Multiple drainage pipes also direct water to the road.

    My question is was this road on the Cemetery property approved by the Chatham Borough engineer? Was the landscaping, including tree removal approved done according to Chatham Borough requirements / standards? I would like to address this issue with the Borough Engineer. I can provide video footage of the water coming down the embankment and into my yard.

  • Main St & Coleman Ave Chatham, NJ, 07928, USA - Chatham Borough
    Water leaking for at least a year on the corner near the railroad parking. Water is now frozen on the sidewalk and street. Makes it very difficult and dangerous to walk up Main St.
  • 66 Weston Ave Chatham, NJ, 07928, USA - Chatham Borough
    Previous request #5308891 on 01/20/19 - still a dangerous issue! Water drains from a hole in the wall and floods the sidewalk, sidewalk freezes, ice is VERY slippery. No streetlight, so extra dangerous in the dark, plus it’s a school street with lots of walking traffic. Not buildup from excessive rain! It’s freezing weather again. Please fix this ASAP!
  • 192 Hillside Ave Chatham Boro, NJ, 07928, USA - Chatham Borough
    We share a property line with Fairmount Cemetery. Along our property line is a drainage area that the cemetery is responsible for keeping clear. They have not cleared the area for several years despite fallen trees, brush and tree debris left behind after cutting one down. We have repeatedly made the cemetery caretaker aware of this issue due to concern with flooding issues but they have not met their responsibility to clear the drainage area. I recently cleared a small area around the actual drain plate but there is still much to clear from the very long drainage area which runs behind all the houses on my side of the street. Now, as you can see in the attached picture they are dumping debris over the side of the hill above us which will inevitably end up in the drainage area over time as rain forces the debris down the hill. I called the cemetery today to complain but I have not heard back from them. I would be grateful if this situation can be rectified as soon as possible. Wes Zeliff 9082292992.
  • Garbage & TrashReconhecida
    31 Center St Chatham Boro, NJ, 07928, USA - Chatham Borough
    The tenants at this address have left a mound of filled storage bins in the backyard (visible from Elmwood and Center) sitting there for over a week. This looks like the beginning of a backyard junk pile, and should be addressed asap. Can the town please address this matter with the tenants and remind them of what an eyesore a junk pile in the yard is? Also, the gutter downspouts have fallen from the home and were never replaced. Water appears to just drain along the house and the gutters are not maintained to the minimum standards of code. Please protect the neighborhood from neighbors who flout the law.

    31 Center St Chatham, NJ, 07928, USA - Chatham Borough
    This property continues to ignore the minimum standards of the Borough of Chatham's general code and is creating a blight situation for neighbors. Other than being an eyesore, the residents have begun parking on their lawn (visible from sidewalk) which violates 165-82 of the general code. Someone please enforce the law.
