Building & Streets - Brian assigned this issue to JCMUA - Elmer A.

Is there an update on this?

This is a zoning violation. A green area of a regulation size must be maintained by the owner. Its a tree law, and requirement in zoning. Nothing like this is allowed without a tree permit either. Asphalt poisons trees.

I’m the homeowner, but Senzari did this when they were working on NY Ave waterline project. Who do I work with in the city to get them to fix it?

Hi. Following up on this again. I am the homeowner and senzari filled in the tree pit with asphalt when they did water line work on my block. Who in the city is responsible for getting them to fix this. According to the comment above, this is poisonous to the tree so would like them to fix asap.

Following up on this again. Who can get Senzari to fix this? Is there a different place I should be reaching out?

Issue 14116267 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

The contractor was notified to replace the asphalt with concrete.

No, this isn’t the right solution. The tree pit is too small now because they replaced the dirt with asphalt. They need to make it a proper sized tree pit with the right amount of dirt

Hi Darin, can this pit be filled in with dirt and not concrete being that it's a tree pit? Thank you.

Sorry for the confusion, I received an update from the JCMUA that the tree pit would be restored to the way it was before. Thank you for reporting to the City of Jersey City.
