Deskripsyon
The City of New Haven failed its attempt to remediate the violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act on the NW corner of Chapel and Temple Sts. The absolute maximum change in level allowed is 1/2," This "remediation" left a change in vertical level that exceeds one inch. It is arguably more dangerous now because it is less obvious.

First step is to have Public Works inspect the location and make a determination about the sidewalk. If there is a city factor impacting the sidewalk's condition (ie. tree) then the city is responsible for grinding/repair. If damage is caused by wear/tear/neglect and would pose a safety hazard, we at Public Works will try to alleviate the hazard by patching it and then deem a full repair is the "resident's responsibility".
In some cases, if area being impacted is severe and involves more than one address, area can be reviewed by the Resource Allocation Committee for a major project. Engineering would oversee new sidewalk replacements.
We at Public Works will always work with property owners to explore how best to get the work done.
