Deskripsyon

Another Spring has arrived and as thousands of vehicles exit Rt. 8 N at Exit 17 to reach our main shopping district on Division and Pershing one of their fist sights of Ansonia as they sit on the hill above Pershing waiting for the signal is this BEAUTIFUL example of what is wrong with blight enforcement in the city.

Here we are with one of the worst possible "Welcome" signs the city can have. A blighted home with plywood window and now that it's spring the tree growing out of the room is back in full bloom!

Not to mention other ugly issues about this and the neighboring property! However, if a ugly house with a plywood window and a tree growing out of it is not blighted (and in the worst possible spot as it does get seen by most visitors) then I don't know what is.

NOTHING has been done to force the owner to clean this up?

The only way this can be addressed is to contact the Anti-Blight Officer, David Blackwell Sr. (203) 736-5990, and file a complaint. He does not go out and patrol for blight. Until complaint is filled, it will not change. Posting it here has no official effect.

They only see what they want to see, you can't tell me he does not see this.

This forum is not an official city conduit. Unless there was an imminent danger presented, it is likely that the only way an investigation would start would be by direct complaint. Not an anonymous posting. lets face it, you can drive down any street in Ansonia and find some sort of degradation to structures and properties. If the city was to initiate complaints by patrolling or anonymous persons posting on line, they would have to write everyone up. There would be literally be thousands of complaints, the public at large would be outraged, and not much would truly get accomplished. I believe the intent of the new law is to weed out the worst offenders, thus others with less dire situations would take note and initiate remediation without the city having to get involved. I don't think any of us want a "police state". With that being said, if you feel this property needs further involvement of the city, do indeed file a complaint: Anti-Blight Officer, David Blackwell Sr. (203) 736-5990

Mr. Lunenski,

Ansonia residents are PAYING the salary of an anti-blight officers and the "the only way this can be addressed is to contact the Anti-Blight Officer". He has no ability to tour the city, SEE blight with his own two eyes and report back to the Mayor? The residents have to do his job for him?

It is also his job to monitor public forums such as this (even if the city prefers this site didn't exist, it's life and other news sites direct people here so get over it.) and see if something like this is mentioned so he can look into it.

If Mr. Blackwell is unable to do those two simple thing, he needs to refund his salary to Ansonia and be replaced. The blight officer is not paid to sit near a phone and wait for it to ring.

If ANYONE doesn't think that home is not blight, than the blight ordinance needs to be revised!
