Improper Exhaust Installation at 312 4th Street

We are reporting an ongoing code violation at 312 4th Street regarding improperly installed exhaust vents within 2 feet of our property line. The contractors have installed an exhaust within 2 feet of our boundary, despite a prior violation for the same issue.

Previously, we reported this issue under case #17926998 when an exhaust was installed protruding onto our property. While it was later relocated, it remains within 2 feet of our boundary, still in violation. Now, a second exhaust has been installed in a similar non-compliant manner.

We have notified the property owners, but they are ignoring corrective action, claiming that their plumbing inspections have passed.

At present, there are two exhausts within 2 feet of our property line—one that was previously relocated but remains non-compliant, and a new one that has just been installed. We request immediate inspection and enforcement action to ensure these violations are properly addressed.

Please confirm receipt of this report and let us know the next steps.

This building has been partially gutted for years! The latest is someone has decorated the sidewalk shed with smiley faces to draw attention to the ugly and dangerous condition if this building. Where is inforcement? This has been not only uglu but a hazard for years!!!!

Need to be forwarded to zoning. Inappropriate windows installed in historic district. Curvature of windows should mimic opening.

336 Randolph Ave it's been developed The brick wall is part of my foundation I asked the builder/developer to power was and waterproof my wall before they pour more concrete or build the block wall He said it's not needed but I disagree Can you come by and check what needs to be done before they start building?

The constituent is concerned about the building's foundation, he mentioned the possibility of it shifting and there has been incidents where it feels like there is an unexplained earthquake.

After owner from 77 Van Reypen Street demolished property to construct new building, my alleyway cement and backyard is sinking and cracking and now I have foundation issues with water. It's been 2 years since I addressed this with the engineer. They promised to repair. But damage inside and outside my property is getting worse and still no repair.

This is a historic district and they are boarding up windows on this building. I called the historic Society, but nobody is working today. However, the woman did tell me that they did not pull any permits to do this work. Can someone please investigate this. I’m sorry to bother you on a holiday week. Thank you

This building is doing work on the top floor. They have a construction vehicle parked across the sidewalk and they are throwing huge black construction bags full of debris out of the top window. I realize it’s Saturday, but please have an inspector come on Monday to see what they are doing and make sure they have the proper permits. This building has a history of breaking the law and endangering the residents inside the building as well as as in surrounding buildings.

232A 9th Street is an LLC with severe and several property damage (not minor repairs) and caused property damage to our home at 232 9th street. The police helped us contact the fire department on Sat Oct 26th to shut their main line off and they are an LLC who has worker’s doing repairs without permits. Servpro and my home owner’s insurance is working on the process to soon try and fix our home due to 232A’s negligence and there’s been no action taken from the Jersey City on them (only summons). We are very concerned about the safety of the work being done their properly with OSHA regulations so something severe does not happen again to us (though this has been quite ongoing of them having severe plumbing issues). We hope this can be resolved properly as 232A had plumbers in the past AND recent months suggesting their LLC to separate their plumbing as it meets into one of our lines. We hope they also repaired the recent water line they accidentally punctured our water line AFTER this recent insurance claim I made. We need some peace of mind and to know this is being handled properly now because this has persisted too long. These are photos of stuff regarding 232A and we have more documentation if needed. Hope to hear back soon.
