Description
Houses on the bottom and very top of the odd numbered side of the street are desperately in need of repair, paint, and/or demolition. The second, third, and fourth houses from the bottom and the last house at the top of the hill all look to be abandoned for the past few years and are bringing down the property value of the neighborhood. Thinking of telling the homeless about squatting opportunities if something isn't done soon!

One of the houses was finally demolished- what an improvement!
And it looks like the owners of 35 Prospect are fixing it up- I see them bringing in all sorts of boards, 2x4s, tools, etc. and there is a dumpster in the driveway, although there is no permit in the window.
Meanwhile the house on the top of the hill looks like its about to fall down and does have a building permit, but doesn't appear that they are doing anything to fix things up!

I would recommend separating out issues since there seem to be a large cluster of unrelated issues in this thread. Complain succinctly so that problems can be tracked.
35 Prospect Ave is being used for storage. Guy comes by every now and again in a minivan and puts stuff in and takes stuff out. No one has lived there for many years.
41 Prospect was foreclosed on and was just up for (unsuccessful?) auction.
135 Prospect is occupied and has been under construction for some time. Lumping it in with other problem homes in the neighborhood is probably not fair.

Some of the street has finally taken steps to look better (two houses were demolished, other have had major work) but the trash collectors have left TVs, computers, and a sink for over a month. Really gives an atmosphere of trailer trash to the neighborhood....
But, the kicker is the house at the top of the hill is worse every week. If the homeowners leave the door open, you can see inside is just as bad. It is terrifying to think that children live in a house this disgusting- there are pathways to walk between boxes and piles of junk, everything looks as if it could crumble any second. The homeowners obviously have money, since they own two Volvos, a new truck, and a fancy camper, but apparently just have weird priorities and like to live like disgusting slobs. I tripped over weeds on the sidewalk when I tried to take photos of the peeling paint and crumbling exterior and piles of trash on the front porch. I give up. Hope the DCYS (or whatever the agency is in CT that helps children) will at least get the kids out of that pit before they get sick from the filth.
