Blight property 24 Pine Tree Ridge Open

24 Pine Tree Ridge - Meriden

This house and yard have been an eyesore for 20 plus years. The grass is never cut, the leaves never raked.
This house drags everyone's property values down in the area.
Mice and rats are a problem here.

  The property is under foreclosure. The city cleaned the property last year and liened the property for the cost. We will do so again, but are in the process of replacing our property managment service.

  Still an eyesore, now vacant. This will be even better when the pipes freeze and water floods it.

Blighted Building Open

300 Hanover Street Meriden, CT - Meriden

Eight years and counting since this was place was first brought to city's attention.Still nothing is done to fix the blight and danger. Used to live there before the ceiling fell in amongst other things. No doubt squatters are there or have been. Will the city ever fix it or will it finally come crashing down on it's own. I gave up trying to get anything done years ago.. maybe this will help. Can't get much worse right? Make that nine years now and still nothing done..Maybe it will just come crashing down in the storm and finally something will get done.. yeah, right.. no one cares.. not then, not now.

Going on ten years now....perhaps it is in probate.. however, that would be a recent event, so what about the other 9+ years? I don't know about anyone else but that seems an awful long time to get broken windows boarded up if nothing else. Places like this do nothing to encourage people to want to stay in this city.

686 Hanover Road Meriden, CT - Meriden

The current owner, Jessica Stanton, should be held accountable for the appearance and cleanup of this property. Overgrown lawn, bushes, weeds; trash overflowing from their garage into the yard, etc. This has been a problem property for a number of years. City management, please have this property cleaned up - it is another of the neighborhood eyesores.

  This property is getting worse by the day! The trees, bushes and weeds/high grass are obstructing the view when attempting to take a right-hand turn onto Hanover from Prospect Avenue. Would someone please do something about this property?

  This has been an ongoing problem, reported multiple times over multiple venues, but the City has ignored all pleas to rectify this issue. Another reason added to the growing list of why residents are moving elsewhere!

[Removed] Open

1274 East Main Street Meriden CT, CT - Meriden

The Pool has been Shut down by the health department Twice this month. The never added Chlorine and there are no Diving signs. The Storage area is a hard hat zone. The balconies are in disrepair. There's pot holes all over the parking lot. The showers for the pool area and bathrooms are molded and unusable if not all locked up. Security cameras are not hooked up. And when you call to complain they either don't pick up or give you an attitude.

Blighted House Archived

686 Hanover Road Meriden, CT 06450, USA - Meriden

The house on the corner of Hanover Road and Prospect Avenue is a blighted property. The house has been under "construction" for over two years, boats in the yard, weeds almost two feet tall, the house is bring down the property valued for the entire neighborhood. Help!

  Looks like the place is being used to sell used cars and boats. Is there not an ordinance prohibiting the sell of vehicles?

  Wow, another complaint that has fallen upon our municpal leaders' deaf ears. Who would have thought? Not one response nor a little ray of hope that something would be done about the eyesore of a "house" on the corner of a busy street. Just proves that the City of Meriden is in dire need of new leadership ... maybe someone who has pride in what is left of a once great city?
  
  How disappointing.

  Hello? Is anyone from the city reading this? The lawn, bushes, weeds, etc. at this property are growing as I write this update. The garage doors are now almost torn from the structure, which has at least one vehicle parked inside. Are you waiting for a rat, snake or vermin infestation before taking action?
  
  Please, would you take care of this issue? Thank you.

  This past Saturday, June 16, a landscaping company began work on cleaning up the overgrown property. I could not believe that one of the workers had to use a chainsaw to to cut down the sumac trees growing in the grass. The company did a decent job; unfortunately they did not clean the entire property, only what can be seen from the street, but it's a start.
  
  City personnel - please keep an eye on this property, I'm sure the maintenance was a one-time only job. Therefore, I am keeping this issue open.
  
  Thank you.

Corner Of Oregon Road And River Road Meriden, CT - Meriden

Please ... the tall grass/weeds on the corners are obstructing the normally poor sight distance making it extremely difficult to see oncoming traffic when attempting to turn onto River Road.

161 And 57 Ione Dr Meriden, CT - Meriden

Both of these yards are overgrown. #57 is vacant but a neighbor had cut the front yard because it got too bad to use the sidewalk and #161 just doesn't take care or the property and has never cut the grass or overgrowth over the sidewalk that has become unuseable for several months now.

Drug house in forclosure for a year in total disrepair. Archived

61 Parker Road Meriden, CT - Meriden

61 Parker Road has been selling drugs for many years and has been in foreclosure for over a year. The tenants have totally neglected the property and often have wild bonfires there and tear their cars through the property. It is a dead end street so police kind of ignore it. They have been robbed at gunpoint once and often have shaddy individuals there purchasing drugs. Please help.

Two-foot high grass and weeds, tree limbs down, trash everywhere on the property ... this is disgusting. With the building being the first thing anyone sees from the highway exit, the Community Economic Development Fund (CEDF) and the City should be ashamed.
