childrens-elders

There has been excessive drug dealing on Sea Street and South Water St, (often done behind the Sound School buildings, dumpsters, etc.) Many residents have observed this on various nights and have called police with car descriptions (and eventually a license plate number, see the SeeClixFix issue entitled "NHPD Dispatch Refuse to Dispatch Officers" for more on this).
On one night that an officer did respond, he told the resident that called it in that there is nothing he can do "unless the Sound School posts a 'No Trespassing' sign, since it is public property." I am told that the officer then left without getting out of his car.

While I find this assertion hard to believe, I'd like to request that the city or the school posts appropriate "No Trespassing" signs so that the residents who live here might receive a better police response.

Called to report drug activity at 382 Greenwich Avenue. Two numbers listed for "narcotics" on NHPD website under "Important Numbers" Narcotics (203) 946-6287 or 6288. Both had FULL mailboxes so unable to leave any information. Must be alot of drug complaints/reports called in by 3:40pm on a Saturday afternoon or.......

Once more the Pequonnock Yacht Club is using the Sound School Boat ramp. When this issue was looked into last year it was determined that the ramp is not a public use ramp. PYC claimed it was a DEEP ramp and therefore they could use it as they saw fit. When this myth was dispelled the claim was then made that PYC was part owner of the ramp. Records from the tax assessors office proved this wrong as well. Next line of defense from PYC was that they have an "agreement" with the Sound School to use the boat ramp when school is not in session. I spoke with Principal Pin informally 2 weeks ago. To his knowledge at that time there was no such agreement with PYC. Today, I watched as a 25 foot Cuddy cabin type fishing boat tried to manage its way down the ramp..of course using neighboring driveways to help get into position. I approached the person and asked if they were from Schooner or the Sound School and was told they were from PYC. When I advised them they were not to be using the ramp for large motorized water craft this gentleman informed me "they have an agreement with the sound school to use the ramp." I advised him that neither the School principal or people from this neighborhood were aware of any such agreement. I asked why he was not using the PYC boat ramp and was told "we do not have our own ramp." I advised him that last season I had been informed by the PYC liason to the neighborhood that they supposedly had a ramp in West Haven to use. The gentleman responded "that belongs to another yacht club and this one is free." For people living on South Water Street I do not think we want a repeat of last year's antics - the drunken boaters, the public urinating on the sound school property in broad day light, the litter, the loud noise, the hitting of cars by the people trying to get their boats in/out, the excessive traffic the PYC created, and not to mention the parking issues. Last year the police advised South Water residents that unless the Sound School filed a complaint (as this was taking place mostly on their property) there was little that could be done. I encourage everyone to call the Sound School Principal and voice your concern over this matter (203) 946-6937. Let's keep City Point peaceful. Let's not have a repeat of last summer. We agreed not to fight the arrival PYC because they promised to be a "good neighbor"..Let's hold them to their promise.

Some people who live at 76 Howard Ave (or maybe visitors of people who live there?) have been dumping trash on the premises, on the street, AND on the neighbors' lawns (including used diapers and more), people have been urinating outside between the property and the neighboring properties and making noise and disrupting neighbors at all hours of the day and night. The situation is getting out of hand.

I called Comcast to get an accurate download speed, but 3 techs and their manager could not verify my download speed. They kept trying to up-sell me to another package for an additional $10.00 a month. Which they would not be able to very either. The basic internet service does not support DOCSIS 3.0. Which is needed for video streaming without constant buffering. Roku, AppleTV, boxeebox, Chumby, Uebo, Bigstream all digital media receivers work best on the new Internet protocol. You have to pay more to get a modem that supports it. Even with that Comcast can't very the download speed. They misrepresent their download speeds. They claim to offer the fastest service in my area but they can't confirm it. All monopolies suck!!!

Roll-down security door over front entrance of Eddy's Food Centre is covered with grafitti, visible when store is closed and security door rolled down. Needs immediate removal. Shop owner has repeatedly shown utter disdain for neighbors/neighborhood. Needs city official to order immediate compliance with blight ordinance [which, btw, calls for $100 per day fine for non-compliance].
