NHPD, please investigate this! I live on E. Pearl and know there are lots of young children who play here - we owe it to them to protect them from this kind of activity.

I agree. Right in front of our place, I saw two people doing drugs inside a car. They saw me and didn't even care that I was looking at them! Please investigate.

NHPD and LT Casanova both received emails on this.

Connecticut General Statutes,Chapter 830, Sec. 47a-15. Noncompliance by tenant… Landlord's remedies….if there is a material noncompliance…which materially affects the health and safety of the other tenants or materially affects the physical condition of the premises…and the landlord chooses to evict based on such noncompliance, the landlord shall deliver a written notice to the tenant specifying the acts or omissions constituting the breach... For the purposes of this section, "serious nuisance" means (A) inflicting bodily harm upon another tenant or the landlord or threatening to inflict such harm with the present ability to effect the harm and under circumstances which would lead a reasonable person to believe that such threat will be carried out, (B) substantial and willful destruction of part of the dwelling unit or premises, (C) conduct which presents an immediate and serious danger to the safety of other tenants or the landlord, or (D) using the premises or allowing the premises to be used for prostitution or the illegal sale of drugs…that the tenant failed to require other persons on the premises with his consent to conduct themselves in a manner that will not constitute a serious nuisance…the burden shall be on the tenant to show that he had no knowledge of the creation of the serious nuisance.
Sec. 47a-32. (Formerly Sec. 52-540). Nuisance defined. In any action of summary process based upon nuisance, that term shall be taken to include, but shall not be limited to, any conduct which interferes substantially with the comfort or safety of other tenants or occupants of the same or adjacent buildings or structures. [Note: this last sentence provides the legal basis for adjacent residents to file a lawsuit against landlords who fail to take action against “nuisance tenants”.]

There are now shoes hanging on a telephone wire a few houses down from East Pearl and Second St., and have already seen two drug deals there. I almost never see police driving by here. NHPD, could you take a look at this?

I suggest you all take Christopher Schaefer's advice and inform the landlord(s) that you intend to take legal action. If you need help finding out who the landlords are, post the addresses here and I will provide you with the information you need (which is public information, so there are no privacy concerns for seeclickfix staff to worry about).

Is this still an issue?

absoultuely. I saw three deals in the last week. I do like the idea of contacting the landlords. Can someone help me track the landlord down? 106 E. Pearl street?
Thanks.

The house has been foreclosed on and new owners are in and cleaning the place up. THis issue should be closed .

It sounds like this has been addressed. Please click on "Status" and "reopen" this issue if it is still a concern.
