Notified About

  • 25 Fairfield Street Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02140 - North Cambridge

    Illegal/Unregistered short term rental operating at 25 Fairfield street #6. When this was reported previously on 5/14/25 ID #18996743, ISD posted "We have contacted the owner and they will be getting the listing taken down." That public message from ISD was on 5/19/25. Today is 6/3/25, two weeks later, and listing is still active. Here is an example listing:

    Why do some cambridge residents need to follow the rules, while other cambridge residents who previously ran for Cambridge City Council, need not have our laws apply to them?

    The rules must apply to us all equally - Please enforce our laws here.

  • 88 Pemberton Street Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North Cambridge
    This tree was taken down BUT remedied by pouring asphalt into the tree well. This is not standard for Cambridge whatsoever.
  • Mile 135 State Rte 2 E Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138 - North Cambridge
    The lights along this path to the East of Alewife Brook Parkway and to the north of Alewife station are all out. The vegetation is really overgrown on both sides. Together this makes a very dark and unsafe area for people who need to get to Whittemore Ave from Alewife Station. It will be pretty much the only option when the Linear Park repairs begin.
  • 2029 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02140 - North Cambridge
    Very sorry to say, the tree in front of Fire Station #4 came down. Can we get a new tree planted here this fall or next spring? (I told one of the firefighters I'd post this request.) Also is it possible to depave some sidewalk before planting--to create a larger well and increase the survival odds for the next tree? North Mass Ave needs trees and more trees. Thank you to Urban Forestry and DPW for their work reducing heat on this corridor.
  • 7 Meacham Road Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02140 - North Cambridge
    The city of Somerville posted no parking signs on the Cambridge end of Meacham Road We also received a notice from the city of Somerville about milling and paving on Meacham Road beginning 7/17
  • 21 Cedar Street Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02140 - North Cambridge
    Tree branches (city planted tree) are hanging over and on wires leading into my house (21 Cedar Street, Cambridge). The tree needs to be seriously pruned before the wires come down.
  • Needle Pickup Archived
    Mile 135 State Rte 2 E Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138 - North Cambridge
    Exposed needles along this path to the east of Alewife Brook Parkway and to the north of Alewife station
  • 23 Cameron Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02140 - North Cambridge
    Rat spotted along side 23 Cameron by trash bins. No signs of rats getting into bins. When startled, ran northwest under fence to 25 Cameron Ave
  • Mile 103.7 State Rte 2 Alt E Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02144 - North Cambridge

    Advertising

    Another one of the "Handyman Local Cambridge..." posters/ signs attached to the stop sign. Was not there a few days ago.

    Since the poster/ad appears to contain contact information for the "Handyman"/ advertiser (at least in the QR code), can the city please figure out a way to put a stop to this rather than just accumulating reports here and taking the poster/ads down?
