White Cadillac with expired temporary marker has been parked on First St for over a year (alternates between the 2 blocks of First St). Owner is not paying New Haven car tax that’s due. Needs to be ticketed and booted—or towed away. Elm City Wrecking on Middletown Ave pays $125 for junked vehicles. That’s $625 the city could get for the 5 illegal vehicles I’ve reported on First Street alone.
**ALSO can we get an update re the FOUR OTHER illegal vehicles I reported last Friday morning? https://seeclickfix.com/issues/5163803 AND https://seeclickfix.com/issues/5163810 AND https://seeclickfix.com/issues/5163818 AND https://seeclickfix.com/issues/5163823

Just park your unregistered vehicle at The First Street Illegal Car Zone™ where no one will ever notice that your car doesn’t even have plates!”

Now you can stop paying those wasted taxes! Just park your illegally-registered-out-of-state car at The First Street Illegal Car Zone™ where ticketing, booting & towing are a thing of the past!”

2 mattresses have been dumped on the tree-strip, on the rear-most section of the Second Street dead-end. Condoms & drug paraphernalia suggest that these are being used for prostitution. This is right behind Betsy Ross school, so please prioritize removal of these mattresses.

A piece of insulation/insulated 'flex duct' dumped on sidewalk; rail yard side of Hallock AVENUE, near First St.

A tire, cut in half and stuffed inside white plastic bag, is on sidewalk, railroad side of Hallock Ave, near First St.

Thanks to drivers of sweepers 115 & A7 for great job cleaning odd-number side of Second Street Dead End. Driver of 115 even got out of cab to remove (rather than just go around) oversize item someone dropped in middle of street!

Tree directly in front of 57 Second St AND tree immediately across from this are both dead. Please remove. So there are a total of FOUR dead (ornamental plum) trees on this single block of Second St (between Hallock AVE and Howard Ave.). These were planted in early 1980s and reached the end of 'average' life span for this particular variety.
