This property is being used as some type of construction warehouse or storage site and it is not zoned for this use. Every morning there are lots of workers who show up here and they take up parking spaces on that street that belong to residents. Now there is a lot of trash and construction debris sitting outside this location and it looks a mess.

Large empty corner lot at Whalley & Winthrop has overgrown grass, trash all over lot, broken fence on the Winthrop Avenue side. Last Sunday the lot was being used as an impromptu parking lot as there were several cars parked in the lot. Looks terrible and is hampering efforts to clean up the Avenue!

Last week New Haven PW came down my street and dropped some patch into the deep craters on my street. When I say dropped , I mean they literally took a shovel or two full of patch, threw it into the hole and moved onto the next one. They didn't bother to tamp it down or anything and now less than a week later, all the patch is gone and the holes are worse than they were before! You literally have to weave down my street to avoid damage to your vehicle. Can someone please come back out and PROPERLY patch these holes?!

Dirt Bike/ ATV Crew of 5 riders, 2 on ATVS and 3 on dirt bikes weaving in and out an popping wheelies down Sherman Ave around 4:30 today. They went down Sherman then came up the one way side of Winthrop heading toward the intersection of Whalley and Winthrop all the while popping wheelies!!!

This has been a problem property ever since the 2nd floor tenants moved in last year but now either they or one of their 'visitors' has popped the lock off the front door so that it cannot be locked and the door is constantly left open all day and night. This issue has been reported to the property manager, Mario at Diamond Realty and he has completely ignored the requests to fix it. People come in ant out of this property at all times and smoke weed and hang out in the hallway of this property because the door is wide open. This is a safety issue for the tenants on the first floor who are great people and through no fault of their own have to deal with this nonsense!

There is constant trash in front of this property and the trash cans are overflowing which has caused numerous squirrels to come & eat out of the trash. The trash also includes numerous weed bags & blunt wrappers and has to be picked up daily by the neighbors since the tenants have no desire to pick it up since they are the ones who put it there. There is also a HUGE loitering problem at this location even though there is a No Loitering sign clearly posted on the property and there is a standing no loitering order on file with the poilce dept. There is constant foot traffic going in & out of this property at all hours, suspected drug use & sales from second floor. This property is managed by Diamond Management which was formerly Apple Management and owned by some slumlords out of Florida who refuse to listen to the requests of the homeowners & neighbors living near this property who ask them to do something about the problem!

There are alot of drunken customers loitering on the side of and back of the Paramount Liquor Store on Whalley Ave. These people are also urinating on the side of the building sometimes in plain sight of people walking down the street and can be very loud and harrassing to people walking by.
