Jeremy, thank you. Should building code compliance inspect also?

Any update on this? It's been a few months and no progress. See attached picture. Pretty easy call to remove the tree pit.

Code enforcement requested to come and cite location. Still unfixed. Have seen multiple people trip into the pit, strollers go in, and during rain when you can't see the pit.

This might explain why the problem has not been addressed by Forestry:

The problem continues to get worse.

Thanks to many people involved, Pam Andes in City Hall, Mike McCurry in Rep Bob Menendez's office, Paul Russo in JC Office of Engineering, the United States Post Office and many concerned citizens, the mailboxes have been moved. A greater first step in opening up that bottleneck!

Thank you for your patience and for reporting this concern. If you have any future concerns please call the Resident Response Center at 201-547-4900.

They moving of the mailbox helps, however, the sidewalk is still not ADA compliant due to the stairs and the trees pit being only 2'4" apart. A wheelchair cannot pass. Also, two people cannot pass each other. The trees needs to be moved. Look at the attached photo. How is this code compliant?

Apologies for the misspellings. Only one tree needs to be moved, the one by the steps in the above picture.

A tree grate was finally installed yesterday. Many thanks to JAck's Senior Forester, Michael DiCiancia, for getting this done.

Apologies for autocorrect's mistakes. Many thanks to JC's Senior Forester, Michael DiCiancia, for getting this done.

That grate still looks like a tripping hazard. As it's not even with the sidewalk.
That tree is just in a bad place.

I checked out the tree grate. It's too high and it may actually be worse than the open tree pit. Perhaps while waiting for a proper tree grate, the City can take the grate from the next tree up on Bergen Ave and move it to this tree pit because that tree grate is the property height.

P.S. it's hard to see in the picture above but the two sections of sidewalk are different heights so there are three different heights that make his hazardous(two different heights of sidewalk plus the third height of the tree grate).

May I ask what the owners of Capital One and it's management company are doing about these problems? Their stairs are contributing to the problems there and the sidewalk belongs to them. Don't they have a responsibility to make this safe for us?

Abated.
