Subject: Urgent Resolution Needed for 6-Month Disruptions on Lexington Ave (West Side to JFK Blvd)

For six months, Lexington Avenue (West Side to JFK Blvd) has endured water main breaks, outages, no street sweeping, and now late-night construction noise severely impacting residents’ quality of life.

I demand:

1. Confirmation of accountability.
2. A firm timeline for full completion and service restoration.
3. Immediate street sweeping.
JCMU claims equipment blocks sweepers, but this jeopardizes public health and safety.

The City must act.

I’ve already filed a complaint with no response. Please resolve this proactively, no further complaints from me.

Thank you for prompt action.

Open pipe draining into the ground. Standing water liquids draining into the sidewalk

At 70 Lake Street there is a very bad smell from the sidewalk, sewage coming from the curb on to the street. This has been going on for over a week. Please investigate.

Following up on this task as it was closed out 3 months ago. The city advised that they had to wait 90 days for the asphalt to cure in order to reinstall bollards. Well, it’s been past 90 days :)

Last summer, one of the trees on Bright St was destroyed by a company doing road work and these barriers were added around the remaining trees on Bright between Monmouth and Varick. The barriers are still up a year later. Can they be removed now and the tree plots maintained?

Also, one of the tree plots in front of Crepe Guru is still empty after the tree was knocked over and removed. I was told that the company would pay for a replacement tree to plant. Is there any progress on when we can expect one?

Thank you!

Pipe insulation is decayed, falling apart and growing mold. The fiberglass insulation isn't doing it's job anymore and I question if the pipe is even in use anymore (looks like a newer gass pipe is overhea). It just looks terrible and contributes to the trashy junkyard esthetic of the footbridge, which needs a paint job too. All of the property adjacent to the footbridge and the surrounding area is valued upwards of a million dollars Tax payers in this area should be able to use a footbridge that isn't covered with moldy fiberglass, lawn debri, and dirt

Can the city remove this unsightly and potentially hazardous material from the Waldo street footbridge?

Can the neighbors remove it? s. r.

Kickplate is obstructing sidewalk and the street on Liberty Ave for weeks could be a hazard for pedestrians and vehicles.

In front of 209 Zabriskie Street, there is a Tree that has a wooden square box that is surrounding it and cars have ran into it and it is damaged/broken. Please investigate.

Repair to sidewalk during utilities work appears substandard. Curb was damaged prior to utility work but this is a poor solution.

We paid 8k to have our sidewalk redone 2 months later jcmua ruins it for lead pipe testing. WE WERE TOLD A INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR WOULD REDO THE PATCH. ITS NOW 4 months later, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. What the hell is our tax payer money going towards exactly?

There is a sinkhole that grows outside on the sidewalk every time it rains due to the work done by the city the city came replaced the pipes in the street and never replaced the sidewalk I have placed this complaint for weeks and no one has done anything. The hole is much larger and the rain this week will only lead it to grow.
