I agree Laz. I don't understand the delay..is someone connected to someone here?

It is disgraceful

Deborah, these new owners have destroyed this beautiful home. Did you take a look at what they did to once beautiful trees???!!!

Laz, omg yes! What a disgrace! They had some privacy with those beautiful trees! So they cut down the trees and put up that awful fence..doesn't make sense! It looks now like something from the Walking Dead. And my post has still not been acknowledged! Maybe some others need to complain?

Helloo??? Why is this case still open and not acknowledged ? Why is this fence still up after almost 3 MONTHS??? !!!!

Yea, who do they know?

Exactly Laz!!!
And what are they hiding???

Just right Deborah!

Can someone please address us as to why this fence is still up and this issue has not been addressed in over 31 days????

How about that “stadium” lighting they installed? Is this type of lighting allowed in residential areas? I’m sure the new owners of the home painstakingly renovated next door aren’t too happy with that obnoxious light pollution out their window. Btw, they installed a new fence as well; six foot height which is the max allowed.

Omg Laz the lights are as ridiculous as the fence! I do not understand how this is allowed? They are not even acknowledging the fence anymore. Do you know where else to go with this complaint? This 311 is a joke..not getting anywhere.. for months

Perhaps you should contact one of our City Council Reps: Scott Burns or Matt McCarthy (lives around corner from you?)

Thanks Laz..I will try to contact them. I thought this 311 was a good thing..I guess not if they don't bother following thru. I saw a complaint the other day about a car parked for days in a Handicap spot at the co-ops..the complaint is still open. Real nice..even something like that they aren't responding too. Shameful

***Update***
March 23 and fence is still up..case is still opened and not acknowledged. Great system this 311 is lol

311 is a great system. For documenting the deficiencies of city government.

As of now I would have to agree. Either the system is failing or someone's palm is getting greased

Just got a message from 311 that it's been 91 days since the original complaint! Yep..it's April 22 and the fence is still up !!

This illegal fence is still up! Why?!

I know!! It's been over 6 months since the original complaint!! I've opened the original complaint twice and got nothing..crickets
Something fishy going on here

Just got a notice from 311 that this case is going on 121 days open and if I want to close it! No I don't want to close it..I want to know why the 12 foot fence is still up !!!!!!!!!

It’s a shame. The administration doesn’t seem to know how handle any issue bigger than litter on a sidewalk.

Not once has this complaint been acknowledged by the City! Why ? Do owners work in City Hall? What necessitated the need for a 12 foot high fence ?! What are they hiding.?

They are hiding their incompetence

This issue is going on over a year and still not addressed????

Is there a way to reopen this or to get the right people on this? Obviously it is not being addressed for a reason

This isn't a closed issue but it may require more than a post (or 10) in this venue to get it addressed. I would recommend escalating to the Mayor's office and the City Council. Find out, if you can, who is being paid not to address the issue. Or double check the regulations to be sure that they are what you think they are.

The mere fact that this is the only seeclickfix complaint that I’m familiar with, that has NEVER even BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED by a so-called “official” on this site should tell you something.

It does! What it says to me at this point is that face to face direct inquiry is needed. It's much easier to ignore a seeclickfix request than it is a person, or group of people asking directly.

Status quo

Still open after a year?

Yep! Absolutely NOTHING has been done!

And actually it's been over 2 years since the original complaint..pathetic

Just got a notice..481 days this has been open. Still hasn't been addressed. Glad I moved out of this crooked city

Smart

I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason for this too tall height is because it’s accommodating a 6’ fence for a raised deck? Perhaps an elevated deck that was not built within set back requirements from a side setback? Just sayn’

The height is typically from grade. Your post makes me think the deck is non compliant and the fence is to conceal it. Double trouble

Yes true. Guessing a raised deck with 6’ fence, at 3’ (?) above grade = 9’+ tall fence

That fence looks 12ft high

It’s a violation no matter what. Really shameful performance by the city

My thoughts are purely hypothetical. But I agree with you. This issue has yet to be acknowledged by the City or assigned to an official to investigate.

Is this still open? I moved out of Connecticut in May 2022 and just received an email that this is still open. How embarrassing for the city of Bridgeport. And pathetic, that in 811 days this was not resolved..and that was the 2nd time I opened the complaint..so actually going on 4 years. Wonder who bought off who...So glad I moved..sorry for those who are stuck in that corrupt city with a felon for a mayor

the city of bridgeport is a joke, deborah. you are lucky to have moved out of this sh*y hole city.

Yes I am thanks. The amount of corruption that is still going on there with Joe and his minions is sickening.

Here it is..October 2023. I have since moved. And this fence has never been addressed. And it is still up. What a joke. See what you get when you pay off your officials in the city of Bridgeport 👍🏼

from my experience zoning cannot be relied upon to serve its duties. maybe the new mayor will clean house of these dunsels.

It’s quite obvious just by looking at the photo; the guy might be 5’something standing next to a 6’ ladder?

Thank you for reporting your issue to the City of Bridgeport. Your issue is now closed.

“Issue is now closed”, yet WAS NOT RESOLVED?! Hmm…

It took 3 years to close this..yet it was never ever resolved despite this fence obviously being over 8 feet tall. Someone paid some good money to corrupt Bridgeport for this to go away. Keep electing felons Bridgeport..you get what you pay for

the lazy administration is just closing out old tickets without doing anything to resolve them. our tax dollars at work

i received over 100 “issue is now closed” notifications. maybe gomes can do better.
