Yard was cleaned up. "Fencing" is still there and nothing has been done with the barn.
Wondering because complaint was never acknowledged if anything was ever addressed with the owners
Someone is going to get hurt if that barn collapses besides it being an eyesore and blight to the neighborhood. As I said just look at the rest of the houses and properties from 90 - 146 Springside.
None of us keep our houses and yards looking like that.

Glad to hear the yard was cleaned up. Cindy, the barn has been in the hands of Jose Ramero at the Building Dept. as it needs to be demolished. LCI is also very concerned about the barn.

Cars are being parked in backyard on "grass?" which adds to messiness. Thank you for your response LCI. Nice to be acknowledged and know that barn will be taken care of.

NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE WITH THE BARN SINCE YOUR LAST COMMENT ON 9/28 ABOUT THE CONCERN OF LIVEABLE CITIES ABOUT THE BARN ALSO.
MR. JOSE RAMERO NEEFS TO TAKE SOME ACTION QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

MR. JOSE ROMERO HAS TAKEN NO ACTION SINCE YOUR LAST RESPONSE TO ME ON THIS ISSUE WHICH WAS BACK IN . SEPTEMBER.WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET SOMETHING DONE. WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO GET HURT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE BEFORE THE CURRENT OWNERS BOUGHT THE HOUSE MORE THAN A YEAR AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I WOULD LIKE AN UPDATE AS WOULD MY NEIGHBORS PLEASE.

Hi Cindy, here is the Building Department's website with contact information: http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/gov/depts/building/staff_directory.htm

Something is being done with the barn finally. All but 2 walls have been taken down. I understand that the weather has probably hindered progress.
But it appears that those walls are not going to be removed as they have been working on rebuilding the foundation. At last they have also taped it off because of a request of a concerned neighbor who was afraid that someone walking near the site would be injured.
I thought the barn had to be demolished! Please update LCI.
Thank you

We are trying to do the best we can! I already talked to the city about it, we will be fixing it before the summer. So if you don’t know anything please keep your mouth shut. I don’t understand why you just couldn’t just come tell your concerns to our faces instead of hiding behind a screen. I feel like you’re harassing my family and I. Btw Cindy please get a life! (:

Once again, the building dept is handling this as it's a demolition. Permits are issued through them as well. Please use the contact information in the link above to reach them. LCI is glad the blighted barn has been removed.

To LCI response:
The owners have begun working on the barn in question and it is a very lengthy project. Unfortunately the cold weather has arrived and through no fault of their own because they were working very hard on removing it, work has stopped.
Unless they are still going to "demolish" it farther, they need to take down the two remaing walls. A foundation has also been constructed where the existing floor was.
I am glad to see they have removed most of what was there and thank them for their efforts and hope the "demolition" will continue.

It has not been demolished although until the cold weather set in they were working hard to remove the structure.
The contents were removed and taken away and except for the two walls still standing, the building was "demolished". I wonder if someone has driven by lately to inspect the progress as it has not been totally demolished and where the subfloor was some kind of foundation has been boarded/framed off.
Their neighbors are appreciative to see how hard they have worked so far to remove what they did and look forward to when it will be finished and they can enjoy all their property in the back yard.

I can understand why nothing has been done during the winter months and the occupants have said it will be completed by the summer. Looking forward to that time. With no bad intentions in mind, please continue to monitor LCI.

Yes, I believe the cold weather is a factor in this, I will check with the building department regarding the demolition, and what looks like a possible rebuild. LCI and the building department have continued to inspect regularly, documented with photos. Thank you.

Thank you for acknowledging. Progress is being made. Weather has definitely been a factor in this project.

Warmer weather is coming and hoping that barn project will be completed.

Backyard property still needs to be looked at. Things seem to be at a standstill. Please do an updated review.

Backyard property where barn once stood has not been finished. In fact In spite of having once done what might have passed as a clean up still looks like it did 6 months to a year ago. Foundation was poured and there everything sits and the backyard is filling up again. A number of cars are also parked there

SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT IT AND WHATEVER IT IS THEY ARE GOING TO DO NEEDS TO BE DONE.
OVER 400 DAYS SINCE IT WAS FIRST REPORTED!
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS GONE ON FOR AS LONG AS IT HAS.

It has now been 6 months or longer, warm weathet has come and gone. A foundation has been poured and left empty with a flimsy orange fence around it for safety(?) which is a joke and nothing further has been done.
Has LCI or anyone else from the city buildong department bothered to check it lately?
Still an eyesore and a safety issue

I GIVE UP. ANOTHER WINTER IS HERE. A YEAR HAS GONE BY. WE ARE NOW GOING INTO YEAR TWO AND NOTHING WAS DONE OVER THE SPRING OR SUMMER TO THE HOLE IN THE GROUND. CONCRETE WAS POURED, AN ORANGE PLASTIC FENCE IS AROUND IT. THE BACKYARD WAS CLEANED UP BUT NOW CARS ARE PARKED THERE.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL CLOSE IT IF THE CITY IS NOT GOING TO ENFORCE ANYTHING JUST LIKE AT 352 BLAKE STREET WHICH WAS ALSO REPORTEF.

THIS WHOLE THING IS A FARCE. WE ARE NOW IN THE SECOND WINTER LOOKING AT THIS UNFINISHED AREA WHICH THE OWNER SAID WOULD BE FINISHED BY THE SUMMER.
IS THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR LIVEABLE CITY EVER GOING TO LOOK INTO THIS AGAIN.
YOU COME LOOK AT IT AND RIDE BY IT EVERYDAY FOR 2 YEARS.

NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE IN TWO YEARS EXCEPT TO PUT AN ORANGE PLASTIC FENCE AROUND IT BECAUSE THEY WERE ASKED TO.
IS IT GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO STAY LIKE THAT FOREVER.
ITS A JOKE TO KEEP REPORTING IT BECAUSE NOTHING IS EVER DONE!

THIS ISSUE WAS FIRST REPORTED IN JULY OF 2017.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AT THIS POINT TO RIDE BY EVERYDAY AND SEE IT ESPECIALLY THE BACKYARD WITH THE SAME HOLE IN THE GROUND WHERE THE BARN WSS KNOCKED DOWN AND A NEW FOUNDATION WAS POURED AND THAT WAS THAT
CARS PARKED ALL OVER THE BACK YARD SO THEY DO PARTIES AND COOK OUTS IN THE FRONT YARD.

PLEASE LCI OR BUILDING INSPECTORS DO YOUR JOB! TWO YEARS OF THIS IS ENOUGH!!!!!

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME. TWO YEARS OF NOTHONG BEING DONE TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION.
WHY BOTHER TO REPORT ANYTHONG AT ALL!
THINGS ARE NOT JUST THE SAME BUT WORSE NOW AS THEY HAVE CARS PARKED ALL OVER THE BACKYARD AND ONE COVERED WITH A TARP.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
THIS IS WHAT I PAY TAXES FOR
I WOULD LOVE THE COURTESY OF A RESPONSE BEFORE ANOTHER YEAR GOES BY.

See comment directly before this because that is the latest update from June 2019.
Reporting is a joke! If it was im your neighborhood it would have been taken care of.
ITS BEEN TWO YEARS NOW AND FRUSTRATION.
DO NOT CHANGE UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE WHICJ I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
I AND MY NEIGHBORS WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A RESPONSE FINALLY AND SOME ACTION

LCI and Serena Neal have become a city wide joke! Just another tax payer rip off under this administration! I wish you so much luck!!

Hi all, this complaint was originally regarding the barn which has since been demolished and a current permit is out for the construction of a new one through the Building Dept, and the wood fence around the property that is deemed not blight nor illegal. LCI was at the property today 8/2/19 and did not find violations.

That barn has been demolished for at least 2 years with nothing but a foundation poured. No work jas been done to rebuild it in over a year. The nre frncing was just put up this last month. Bushes are so high and out of control that a left turn onto Springside is impossible to make safely. Cars are parked all over the backyard.
How long is a building permit good for???

Hard to imagine LCI that there are NO violations!
Would appreciate your comments?

HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM LCI TO MY LATEST COMMENT OF 8/2/2019.
THIS WHOLE ISSUE HAS BECOME A JOKE!!!!

NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE IN TWO YEARS!!!

BUILDING PERMIT. BARN WAS DEMOLISHED. FOUNDATION POURED. NOTHING BUT A WHOLE IN THE GROUND.

BACKYARD STILL A MESS. CARS PARKED THERE.

HAZARD WITH BUSHES SO HIGH ALONG FRONT/SIDE OF HOUSE ALONG GUARD RAIL MAKING IT A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR CARS TURNING LEFT OUT OF HARD STREET TO GO UP SPRINGSIDE AVENUE.

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE FOR 2 YEARS!!

THEY CAN'T EVEN USE THE BACKYARD SO THRY BARBECUE IN FRONT AND EAT OUT IN THE FRONT YARD.

Hi Cindy,

Inspector Rodriguez was there on 8/2 and determined there were no violations as I mentioned. LCI can re-inspect. When we do find housing code violations they are criminal matters that end up with an arrest warrant and housing court. It was deemed that that route is not necessary. We can remind them again to mow more, etc.

LCI does not work with building of structures as that is the city's Building Dept, and they have more detailed information on the building permit.

ANOTHER CASE OF NOTHING BEING DONE.
WHAT WAS ONCE THE BARN IS STILL A HOLE IN THE GROUND OVER TWO YEARS LATER!!

We are closing this request due to its historic nature. If this concern still requires attention and you still believe SeeClickFix is a viable tool for its resolution the best way for it to be addressed is for you to create a new request including a current description of what is occurring and what solution you hope to see regarding this matter, citing/linking this request in the details. Thank you for your dedication to improving the quality of life in our community.
