Brockton, MA Ward 3 PLUS

Does this require a building permit, along with the other two buildings they built themselves in the back yard ? The neighborhood never received an answer on the latter that was posted in May.

People who "bought" this single-family home have been building additions to a garage in the back yard. The original garage even has a Dish attached to it! There are at least 6+ cars parked at the dead end of Linnea Ave, mainly at night and in the weekends. The neighbors are concerned about trash, possible sanitation problems, noise from all this construction, loud paries in the summer, and obviously the lack of pulling any permits.

For that past 5 weeks straight, we have had to call the police on the new owners of 50 Bouve Ave, who simply refuse to play their music during their constant parties at a level that does not shake our windows on the entire street. Neighbors have tried to speak with them and reasonably asked them to turn their music down to a more realistic and less invasive volume, to which the response from the people living there was "you just don't like our type of music and can F off" After reviewing the code of ordinances, we feel they are contributing to negatively affecting our way of life and health, as we cannot get proper sleep while they refuse to lower their music to a reasonable level. Many of us work long hours or have babies who are trying to sleep, all of which has been impossible since these inconsiderate neighbors refuse to just listen to their music at a reasonable volume. The weekend of July 6th they had a 2 day party with the music going well-beyond 12 hours each day. This problem needs to be addressed. Our city councilor is also going to be contacted regarding this. Our lives should not have to revolve around one neighbor who is too inconsiderate to acknowledge that most of us have jobs and work, and have a right to enjoy peace and quiet in our own homes.

Can we PLEASE get a police patrol on Bouve Ave? The amount of drag-racing/speeding on this avenue is ridiculous-and this is a busy pedestrian area. Most kids that walk to the high school walk down Bouve and Verne, and there is a man that lives on Verne that drives about 65mph on this side street! (I will post his license plate when I screen shot my surveillance cam cloud) Also, even when the school buses are stopped on Bouve Ave, dropping kids off, these idiots STILL speed (they have to be doing at least 70mph with very loud exhausts on their cars. I really hope you can find the time and manpower to be pro-active, and not wait until someone is hit and killed. I've lived here 2 years, and my many calls have gone ignored. When something does happen, I will be sure to alert the local news stations and supply them with my logged requests for something to be done! Enough is Enough!

Occupant is parking two commercial trucks in his yard which backs up to my backyard. I believe that this is a residential neighborhood and that it is against the city ordinance to park a commercial vehicle in a residential neighborhood. One of the trucks is parked so closely to my fence that I fear he will hit it and knock it over possibly injuring my little dogs who enjoy playing in my backyard. Furthermore, the owner of said trucks often works on these trucks in his backyard running the Diesel engine on quiet Sunday mornings. I am planning to sell my home in the spring time and it was pointed out that these commercial vehicles parked almost in my backyard could negatively affect the sale of my home. Please look into this matter for me. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

I travel several times a day on Forest Ave almost daily. With the exception of a few, most of the manhole covers have sunken to a dangerous level resembling craters and potholes. This issue was bad this spring and has only gotten worse with the addition of the freeze thaw cycles of Winter. These craters, if you will, pose a public safety hazard by forcing motorist to drive erratically to avoid them, often crossing into the other lane and not to mention the incalculable cost in front end damage by driving over them.

The playground is getting horrible. from profanity spray painted on bench, excuse my lanuage,,,(@#$% ME) is what is spray painted on the seat of bench. To Trash all over the place.
Where kids and MY Daughter climbs up a little latter there are planets for kids to see, and there is a Penis and an Anus drawn within the planets. I don't need my Daughter to see these things.
I use to bring my Oldest Daughter who is now 16 here to play.
So, I have been coming here for a long time with my children.
I know the city did the grounds of the playground over...

But, it's getting worse and worse every time I come.
Not to mention teenagers hanging around it.
Makes me sad that I can't bring my Daughter here without this kind of bad stuff being done to it....
I'm sure all parents want the same thing, a nice playground for their kids to play....
😦😦😦😦😦
Can't The City Help Fix the Park???
Can't the Police Patrol The Park ?

I walk by this house all the time, it's been trashed for i don't know how long.
It's a Hazzard, there is trash, debris, broken items all over the place there.
It's Disgusting.

This construction debris has been in this yard for over 3 weeks...landlord said he would take care of it but its still there...its bad enough they did all there construction work without a permit...now they are leaving there crap all over the yard...

The house at 37 South street is a hazard to this neighborhood the front is all rotted and coming down. It is in need of some serious repairs. What a shame our Mayor is let happening to our one time Great Historic District. The facades are suppose to remain as built.
Can someone please fix this house the right way.

Residents wait until the day after trash pick up to put a refrigerator on the sidewalk, tilting into the street. Also, door is left on-which is a safety violation. Door must be removed. Please address ASAP-there are many kids in this street. This is a hazard and it looks like a junkyard.

Single family home has been turned into a rooming house where at least a dozen people live including in the garage. The men publicly urinate in the backyard where the children play, in the dead end of Linnea Ave and once in the front yard. Recently spotted was a young girl going to the bathroom in a small industrial bucket being supervised by a male. Please reference Complaint #5815747, especially Week #12 Update. The Police Department acknowledged this issue early May but the neighborhood has been waiting on the Building Department since then. Please help!
