We received your issue and will address it as soon as we can. Thanks for reporting.

I reported this issue a few months ago, with a picture, showing this house having a tag sale every single weekend. This is a residential section. It is not zoned for commercial business. Whichever department in the city is responsible for ending this weekly tag sale, please contact these neighbors and end this eyesore, excessive noise, and excessive vehicular and pedestrian traffic every weekend.

Alexa is correct. The City of New Haven should not allow this house to conduct ongoing tag sales in this residential zone.
Magaly Fernandez of LCI, please take nite and take action.
Thank you.

This was today - this is going on every single day

This issue was recategorized from Illegal Dumping to Private Property Issue.

Issue closed. If you need to report another issue please submit to See Click Fix or call Department of Public Works at (203) 946 - 7700. Thanks.

Thanks for fixing this request!

What exactly was done to "close" this issue? How was this problem resolved by the Public Works dept?

I agree with Alexa. The furniture is gone but the tag sale goes on. Changing its status to "private property" seems more like a deflection than resolution.

Alexa and me are correct. The illegal everyday tag sale goes on. Reopen this issue.

Not sure how it was "closed" but it shouldn't have been. We reassigned it to a Private Property Issue which LCI will follow up on. Thanks

Thanks for reopening this issue. It is an ongoing issue that needs to be seriously addressed by the appropriate city department. If it is not properly addressed, other residents can follow suit and begin conducting this same type of weekly/daily tag sale in their yards. It is simply an unacceptable way to live in a community.

I totally agree, this is not decorous ! This on going tag sales is impacting all the properties value around ...

LCI Please report back to us on the resolution of this ongoing tag sale problem. The tag sale is either legal or illegal. If it is illegal ( and we think it is), what is being done to stop it. This is not the first time that this issue or even the first year has been addressed by LCI. This family must be told exactly what the law is.

LCI will visit this location and inform the residents of the Tag Sale Regulations under the New Haven General Code of Ordinances:

Sec. 17-7.5. - Tag sales.

(a)

"Tag sale" means an offering of personal goods for sale on private property devoted to residential use, for a maximum period of two (2) consecutive days, by one (1) or more people residing at such property. For the purposes of this chapter, the terms "tag sale", "garage sale" and "yard sale" are the same.

(b)

For the purposes of this section, "personal goods" means household items and clothing purchased by or given to the seller for his personal consumption.

(c)

A "tag sale" is not an "auction", "bazaar", or "raffle" as such terms are used elsewhere in this chapter.

(d)

Up to four (4) tag sales may be held at such property during a twelve-month period, provided that no more than two (2) such sales may he held in the same month, no more than one (1) such sale may be held during the same week, and such sales may not be held in more than two (2) consecutive weeks.

(e)

No license is required for sales that comply with all of the conditions and limitations contained in subsections (a), (b), and (d) of this section.

(f)

Any sales that do not comply with all of the conditions and limitations contained in subsections (a), (b) and (d) of this section are not tag sales and are, therefore, subject to applicable licensing or permitting requirements, and fees, stated elsewhere in this article, chapter or Code.

(Ord. No. 1304, Pt. I(J), 12-17-01)

Yes that's it. I thought there must be some ordinance prohibiting the eternal tag sale. Thanks. We will be sure to let you know if the visit has its intended effect.

Thank you, LCI, for commiting to follow up on this.

Thank you, LCI, fir taking action.

This is an old issue that was never closed
