There's a lot of hanging around at this location, and it's just about always strewn with litter. It was the site of gun shots last year. I think the best way to address the problem is through the nearby block watch. The manager for our police district, Lt. Hassett, attends regularly, and we've dealt successfully with similar issues. We meet the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m., and our next meeting is April 20. Please join us. For location, email info [at] westrivernsc [dot] org.
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”.]
Yep. Drove up back to Westville the other day and saw a dude walk up to a car at the red light. He had nothing in his hand when it went into the car, but something in it when it came out. (small package). This was about 6:30 pm.
As of 2013 City departments have begun to review, acknowledge and respond to SeeClickFix issues. Since your issue is in the category titled "No Service Request" and was submitted prior to 2013, we are going to close and archive it. If this issue still requires City attention, please report as a new SeeClickFix issue. Thank you.
