Obstruction on sidewalk...again...

Once again, this property owner is being negligent and blocking the sidewalk in front of the property with debris from the wall in the front. This is unacceptable and unsafe. Please address this issue with the property owner ASAP and determine if fines are appropriate at this time.

Thanks,

Councilor Valentin

Safety hazard!

This raised sidewalk is a huge safety issue, particularly for the seniors from Holyoke Towers and Sycamore House that use this sidewalk constantly. Please repair this issue ASAP.

Thank you,

United Water needs to begin street sweeping immediately. This is at the corner of Dwight and Linden. I just cleared the whole area to allow for appropriate drainage. During the last rain storm (2 days ago), streets were flooded because of blockage caused by sand and gravel not being swept by United Water as the street sweeping contractor. If they do not address this soon, this huge pile will once again block the street sewer drain.
Thank you,

Abandoned house at 229 Beech St.: The owner of this property needs to be held accountable for the condition of this house and the impact that it has on this block. It looked exactly like this last summer as well. It is clearly unoccupied and the owner needs to be responsible for the upkeep.

Wall in the front of this property (581-583 Pleasant St.) has fallen. Please make sure the owner of this property addresses this issue ASAP.
Thank you,
