    SUBJECT: 332 Howard Ave, no CO until rehabbed!!
    Please be aware that the new owner of 332 Howard Ave,
    whose name and residence is
    Jianchao Xu [aka “Nash Street LLP”]
    79 BETHANY FARMS RD
    Bethany, CT 06524
    Should NOT be given a Certificate of Occupancy [CO] until this building has been EXTENSIVELY rehabilitated.
    I personally inspected the interior when it recently was bank-owned and the interior is completely dilapidated and hazardous.
    In addition to walls, ceilings, etc. as well as rodent infestation, all MECHANICAL systems are in disrepair and not safe:
    Plumbing
    Electrical
    Heating
    ADDITIONALLY, there are innumerable building and Housing Code violations.
    According to the website, portal.viewpermit. com
    The last permit pulled for 332 HOWARD AV [i.e., that is viewable online] was on 8/8/2014 for “Siding : remove/replace wood siding as needed”
    >>ALSO please be aware that this new owner, Jianchao Xu has a NOTORIOUS reputation for NOT Complying with codes and of Utterly ignoring Orders by city officials to rectify problems.
    **See New Haven Independent article “House Call Paid On Dr. Landlord” published Nov 30, 2015.

    Your attention to this issue is greatly appreciated—not only by me, but also by my many neighbors!
    Thank you!

    2 mattresses & furniture dumped on First St., near intersection of Greenwich Ave.
  • 300 Howard Ave New Haven, Connecticut 06519 - City Point
    A street sweeper went by my house today--and also last week. Even though this wasn't announced--no paper signs, no cars towed--this is a proactive way to save money $$. With regular sweeping, as weather permits, the storm sewer grates and drains get less clogged. Therefore the company that is subcontracted by the city to unclog these is needed less often. Plus the streets and neighborhoods look much nicer! Please keep it up.

  • 98 Second St. [Dead-End; Off Greenwich Ave.] New Haven, Connecticut 06519 - City Point
    The security camera on rear of Betsy Ross School needs to be supplemented with an extra camera aimed at the Second St. dead-end, to stop the increase of illegal activity here. The school already has the security camera system; the city merely needs to add an extra camera--preferably with a min. of 4Mbps (4096kbps) of video data per second, for distance-clarity.

  • 80 1st St. New Haven, Connecticut 06519 - City Point
    There has been a HUGE pile of junk on the curb in front of 80 First St. (between Howard & Greenwich Ave) for over a week. I figured they had scheduled a bulk pickup, but after seeing the mess there for over a week, it seems that a pickup has not been scheduled, or perhaps they thought they had done so, but actually didn't. Whatever. Needs to be removed.
  • 92 2nd St New Haven, Connecticut 06519 - City Point
    2 mattresses have been dumped against the fence, at the far end of the Second Street dead-end.
  • 90 Second St. New Haven, Connecticut 06519 - City Point
    When the Second St. dead-end was created to build the Betsy Ross School, it created a drainage nightmare. Although it has 2 storm-drains/catch-basins, massive amounts of debris pile up there after each major storm, such that in only ONE month the catch-basin grates are covered and there is a huge pile of trash, decomposed leaves, etc.
    About 8 years ago I finally realized that it NEVER would be swept unless I raked the mess out the day before street-sweeping, set aside large branches and anything else too big for the sweeper, then spread the rest out with rake and shovel, up to the corner of Greenwich Ave., so it can be swept up. This requires the sweeper to go over it several times to get it all--which the driver of No. 115 did just now.
    So Thanks!
  • 422 Greenwich Ave New Haven, Connecticut 06519 - City Point
    Thanks to the NEIGHBORS who spearheaded the effort to get THREE speedbumps installed on Greenwich Ave! And thank you, City of #NHV for FINALLY listening to taxpayers and installing them.
    This was a grassroots effort by several folks who live on Greenwich Ave. For their privacy, I’m not mentioning names, but all of us who live on or near Greenwich Ave. thank you!
    (Speedbump pictured is between Second & Third Streets.)
