    113 Kenosha St Albany, NY, 12209, USA - Delaware Avenue
    This "healthy" tree used to be about 45 feet high. Every storm that passes through causes chunks of the tree to fall. The last time, it ripped down my power lines, along with the weather head on my house, causing several hundred dollars in damage to my home. The tree has been ravaged by woodpeckers and ants. I've complained about this tree since 2003. It's roots grow into my drain tile causing backups in my basement. It's way past due that this tree is permanently removed. Please have the current mess cleared from the sidewalk. Thank you!
  • 33 Twiller St Albany, NY, 12209, USA - Delaware Avenue
    Trash all over the yard and porch that has been there for months, including several bags of dog waste on the porch and trash throughout the front and back yards (visible as a corner lot). Trash also gets thrown out the second floor window; I witnessed a kid throwing glass and trash out of the window and onto the sidewalk this evening. There are several dog walkers and dog guides in this neighborhood that could be hurt.
  • 21 Stanwix St Albany, NY, 12209, USA - Delaware Avenue

    401 2nd Ave Albany 12209, United States - Delaware Avenue
    Contractors climbing all over my roof and using it as a staging area for renovating the house next door. Sick of reporting these people and nothing being done. They are in my freaking roof with construction materials!
  • Delaware Ave & Southern Blvd Albany, NY, 12209, USA - Delaware Avenue
    on thursday April 11,2019 at about 7:45 am I was driving towards delaware ave to make a left turn towards Delmar. As I approched the light, cars were coming alongside my right side and going into stewarts to avoid the traffic light to make a right turn. There had to be 6 or 7 cars in that line between the gas pumps and the front door of stewarts. And they kept coming. If you wanted to get to a gas pump good luck, open a car door at the pump or try to walk to front door of stewarts was almost impossible or risky at least. Please have someone observe what is happening there each morning before someone gets hit or killed while walking in the stewarts parking lot The lot is not part of the street but is certainly beings us as such. I would be concerned about the children waling to school and adults who are trying walk along the sidewalk.
  • 293 Mccarty Ave Albany, NY 12209, USA - Delaware Avenue
    Had green light but couldn't turn from 9w to Hoffman because people there for pop warner football don't understand no parking/no standing anytime signs. PLEASE ENFORCE posted signs!!!
  • Southern Blvd Albany, NY, 12209, USA - Delaware Avenue
    Five of the worst offenders of dangerous behavior on motor bikes and ATVs, live along or off of Southern Boulevard. Between 5 and 6 p.m. daily in nicer weather including today, they come down Southern Boulevard and turn on to Delaware Avenue heading toward Lark Street and then go up and down Delaware Ave and Lark, as well as Madison Avenue, in heavy traffic speeding beside and in between vehicles, pulling wheelies and causing a very dangerous situation for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. This has been reported before and police have been called but obviously patrol cars need to already be present when this happens to catch them. Not long ago these motorbike and ATV riders were blocking traffic at a light near Washington Park while they did a dance under the traffic cameras thumbing their nose at a city they are confident won't hold them accountable. Sadly, they appear to be right. This has gone on for several years unimpeded.
  • Delaware Ave & Whitehall Rd Albany, NY, 12209, USA - Delaware Avenue
    Can traffic engineering please assess the situation on Delaware Avenue at Southern Boulevard and Whitehall Road. The traffic signals at these intersections are not coordinated in a way that allows traffic to move during peak hours and is even worse around 5 PM. People sit at the light at Delaware and Southern Boulevard sometimes for 8 green lights or more without moving because the light at Whitehall is red when the light at Southern Boulevard is green and there's nowhere for cars to go. Cars also park in the driving lane on this stretch of Delaware Avenue, exacerbating the problem with traffic and not allowing the cars in the right-hand Lane to be able to go straight on Delaware Avenue. This has become a very serious problem and needs to be assessed promptly. Thank you.

    Abandoned car has not moved from it's spot more than 12" from the curb since the first week of May.

    Archived Click Fix posted 6/3/23 10:55:51 AM says car had been there for three weeks already - so this goes back to the first week in May, at least. Here is the link to that archived post that was closed without resolving the issue:

    Can we PLEASE keep this one open until the car is gone? Everyone who uses this road to get to work or home, is tired of this car making two way traffic difficult.
