This is a real hazard for pedestrians and bicyclists.

This is in Gloria Esposito Way, the pedestrian walkway next to Loew's Theater.

This issue was recategorized from Sidewalk Obstruction to Housing Repair/Maintenance Concern.

Jersey City, NJ assigned this issue to Office of Code Compliance

Thank you for reporting an issue to the City of Jersey City.

This can even be a bigger problem. A mass shooter in Chicago area climbed up the fire-escape stairs of a building to the rooftop with a rifle. That was back on July 4th of this year.
This needs to be fixed ASAP. Watch out for specious people who climb up these stairs for no reasons.
See something, say something.

Watch out for spacious people who climb up these stairs for no reasons.
This can lead to a bigger security problem

THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION!
The fire escape ladder was "fixed" by shoving it up so it was about 4 feet above the ground. It is now more of a hazard than before.
The woman in the red hat injured her shoulder walking into it.

At night it is barely visible from either direction.

The owner of 50 Journal Square must be compelled to hire a fire escape / ironworks company to repair the ladder ASAP.

I put an abandoned dump cart under the ladder to alert pedestrians and bicyclists to the hazard.

Code Compliance Inspector - Michael LoBue assigned this issue to RRC - Kirkland

Any update? Kirkland and Michael?

Mike, could you please provide an update on the status of this request. Thank You

I spoke to Fire Prevention Inspector Daliani on Nov. 10, 2022 about the lowered Fire Escape that's bent and won't go back up. He said, he will be going to the location and inspect the Fire Escape. He said, he will be contacting whoever is responsible for the building and issue a order for them to fix it.
