This is zoned as a residential property. Junk cars are being kept on it and debris like this broken refrigerator. The lot is also overgrown with weeds and is not maintained. Please refer to appropriate department to enforce the code and have property owner clean up the lot.
As per Inspector Santiago, a summons has been issued to the property owner as of 5/31/17. The DPW Sanitation Division can continue to issue summonses, but since the fridge is on private property we cannot trespass.
Please note that the inspector will follow up with this issue. If the lot has not been cleaned by next week, the inspector can issue a Notice of Violation which will then enable us to legally clean the lot. A Notice of Violation is sent to the owner and if they do not comply within ten business days, the lot is placed on a property maintenance list to be cleaned by the JCDPW. To follow up with this, please feel free to call JCDPW 201-547-4400. Thank you for your patience.
Just want to ask to be clear...this abandoned fridge that is technically on private property does still have the door on it, correct? All a small child outside playing would do is hop that rickety fence?
Please send DPW-NID to clean ASAP as the comment above noted how dangerous the refrigerator is especially given that it is on the same block as an elementary school
Is there an exit/entrance or some sort of opening in the fence to remove the fridge? As per the Sanitation Manager Sonia Dublin, please give her a call with more details at her direct work mobile number at 201-577-1523. Please give her a call so we can resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you.
The fridge is to the left of the truck up against the building, close to the sidewalk. Thank you for your prompt action. This is approximately 50 feet from an elementary school.
Is the property fully fenced? We need an entrance to the property. We cannot trespass and cut a locked gate. Please call the Manager at 201-577-1523. Thank you for your cooperation.

This is NOT a junk yard. Children going to school up the block should not have to looks at look at a dunp site even if it is behind a gate.
Please advise as to remediation steps if you guys don't care
