It’s horrible.
It’s illegal.
It terrifies pets and makes the community feel lawless.
It. Needs. To. Stop.

Agree this needs to be addtessed asap. It is also occuring in and is an ongoing problem in other New Haven neighborhoods. Don't wait until someone is hurt before taking action.

I live on the Boulevard between Whalley and Elm. Two observations:

1. It’s possible someone is using the back part of the driveway for the building on Whalley formerly Dollar Store, now vacant.

2. Could be the backyard of the one of the residences on Brownell Street.

Oh I forgot, this has been going on for years at this time of the year.

I have lived here for 17 years, it has NEVER been this loud. The explosions have NEVER caused my house to SHAKE!

And I don't recall them doing this so early .. usually closer to the 4th and a few days or a week after

Going on around Winthrop Ave. George St Chapel. and Derby. It echoes so can't tell exactly where. Some sound like dynamite sticks. this is going on for hours at a time. All month of June.

This has been an ongoing issue for the past two weeks. This is horrible, sounds like a war zone. This has been so bad to the point where sleeping at night is impossible.

My best guess from where the sound seems to be coming from is one of the last three houses on Brownell Street (on the east side of the street near intersection Whalley Avenue). Firecrackers are set in the backyard of one of these houses (113, 115, or 117 Brownell) every night around sunset and later.

I can assure you it's not coming from any of those three houses. Sounds like it's coming from behind the old dollar store building at 488 Whalley Ave.

How do you know?

And by the way, it’s been going on for years.
