    I'll try here before I start to make a stink about this on Monday. Why is the ice cream truck still allowed to be on city streets during this time? It is BEYOND unsanitary.

    I understand it is 'technically' take out, but this truck goes from town to town selling ice cream. Where children, who are not the best hand washers to begin with, touching everything.. walls doors, counters, napkin holders, etc.

    So now you have a truck that could possibly be spreading COVID19 across communities this way. Unless the owner of the ice cream truck is SANITIZING EVERY SURFACE BETWEEN STOPS REGARDLESS IF HE SAW SOMEONE TOUCH IT OR NOT, it is unsanitary and should not continue. And considering he stops every 100 feet or so, I'm pretty sure it's not being done.

    I understand its a nice weekend and he has a right to run his business, but it is in our best interest, and our children's, not to allow this truck to come back until this quarantine is over.

    Yup I am going to be "that guy" but we all need to do our part in preventing the spread of this thing.

    Street lights Acknowledged
    111 Shurtleff St Chelsea 02150, United States - Chelsea
    Please have eversource or dpw or whoever does the lights in town, as there is a noticeable light difference between the Shurtleff street and central ave. Please come and see the difference. Either we have a different led light model or they are busted as they are dimmer on Shurtleff.

    Hi! I know its past Dec 31st, but Shurtleff Street, between Central and Hawthorne really could use a street sweeper to come down this week. The gutters are FILLED with litter.

    Please ticket. A total sheet of ice. Property Management Company (D'Amico Associates) refuses to shovel the entire block around their building as required by law. This is nothing but ice now.
  • 111 Shurtleff Street Chelsea, Massachusetts - Chelsea
    Please please please issue this guy a ticket. This business never shovels their walk, or does the absolute bare minimum and never does what the law requires which is 30". It's now a sheet of ice. And it's even worse because he's on a corner and refuses to do the whole corner around his business.
  • Central @ Shawmut Chelsea, MA - Chelsea

    I really wish the city would heavily enforce the "20 feet from intersection" rule (I believe its a state law). Many people in this neighbor will park within 5 feet or less from an intersection. This makes these intersection VERY dangerous to cross or turn onto. Especially turning onto another street as you cannot see any oncoming cars.

    This is more of a city wide issue since I see it everywhere, but some intersections that are of importance to me with repeat offenders are

    Central @ Shurtleff
    Central @ Shawmut (this is REALLY bad)
    Shurtleff @ Chester
    Shawmut @ Chester
    Shurtleff @ Bellingham (church side)
    Shurtleff @ Grove

    I understand parking is at a premium here, but if someone gets hit and dies, you can't put a premium on a life.

    Maybe the city could enforce and consider putting up "No Parking from here to corner" to remind people.

    Thanks!

    The backyard of 139 Shurtleff Street is nothing but trash. Now that the snow is all gone, all the trash has appeared. The trash is throw all over the back yard, and his 'trash hut' has several broken TV's and furniture around it, and it's over flowing with trash.

    Please issue a ticket to the building owner for trash and speak to him about the importance of keeping trash picked up to the rodent population down in the neighborhood.

    12 Central Avenue Chelsea, Massachusetts - Chelsea

    I've reported about this issue before, but once again the alley between 10 and 18 central ave is filthy again. The dumpster behind this one is full, and it appears there's been bagged trash ripped over and throw everywhere.

    I want more than just a ticket written to the building over of these dumpsters. I want the city talk to the landlord of the building so he can instruct his tenants about the importance of picking up their trash and keeping that area clean of trash and debris.

    This mess repeatedly happens over and over again all summer and very little is done (except tickets issued). I live around the corner and at night you can watch the hoards of rats come scurrying out from behind this building (and 114 Shurtleff). We have enough problems with rats in this neighborhood, let's not give them a food source so they will never leave.

    10 Central Avenue Chelsea, Massachusetts - Chelsea

    This is for the dumpster between 12 Central Ave and 18 Central Ave (in alleyway). Not sure who's this is, but please ticket the owner. The trash has been piling up for WEEKS and it has not been removed. Up until a day ago, it was overflowing onto the sidewalk.

    I know its been tough lately for snow but this pile has just gotten ridiculous. The longer it sits, the harder it will be remove. And doesn't help that residents just keep throwing more trash in the pile.

    Please either ticket or remind building owner to have his trash removed!

    Please ticket this business for failure to remove snow. It's a plumbing or electrical company on the corner of Central @ Shurtleff. Its next to the dental office.

    This owner NEVER SHOVELS after a snow storm. He's responsible for the corner and never shovels. The snow is very high and now is packed down so its sheets of ice. He need to clear this area. Not only for the pedestrians but for the many school children who wait on the corners for transportation to/from the Shurtleff School. Shame on a business owner not doing this, especially the proximity to a school.

    As of 8am this morning (Friday) it was still un-shoveled.

    11 Central Ave Chelsea, Massachusetts - Chelsea

    "Free Dental Van" has been parked in front of the Shurtleff School and John's pizza almost every day for the past week. We're now on week two. If this gentleman wants to offer his free dental services, he should open a store front and not take up public parking spaces. I understand he is providing a FREE service, but it still a commercial vehicle in meter spaces (unpaid btw).

    Does this van have a permit to do so? And if he does, it is not on display so passerby's can see that he is legit. This is also causing sidewalk and traffic congestion in the area.

    Trash overflowing from dumpsters and all over alley way between 10 and 18 Central Ave.

    Please advise and ticket dumpster owner for trash issue. We have enough problems with rats in this neighborhood to have trash throw all around like that.

    Pothole Archived
    111-113 Shurtleff Street Chelsea, MA 02150, USA - Chelsea
    If the DPW isn't going to fix the hole right away, can they remove the metal plate altogether? The hole has been there for months and the plate does not stay fastened so it moves and creates a hazard with the spikes being stuck out. It also is very noisy.. I heard it clank all night. Thanks, resident of 129 Shurtleff.
