City of Geneva

The new complaint system the city is using does not allow us to submit pictures and we can't see other issues that are submitted as well as the progress of city actions in response. We liked See Click Fix

The building in the backyard of 115 William St. is collapsed most of the way it needs to be taken down fully.

Garbage bags are being put out to the curb without using an enclosed trash container with a lid. It's only a matter of time until they are ripped open by squirrels, etc., and strewn about, possibly drawing other creatures to the smell.

Same dog that has been loose numerous times. No owners outside with it, no fence, no leash. They let it out the door then eventually let it in. Usually only after it barks or runs at a pedestrian.

This house has been empty for five years and Has not been taken care of

The fire horn is absolutely ridiculous! It goes off at all hours and waking those of us who live downtown from our sleep and drones on and on. It is simply unacceptable! I understand that this is a long-standing tradition for Geneva's fire departments, but it is an outdated technology and makes living downtown miserable. The fact that we have all survived periods of time when the horn was not functioning is proof that it is NOT a necessary part of modern fire protection! We have cellular technology, pagers, dispatchers, radios, etc., etc. We do not need to count the number of blows that the horn sounds to locate an emergency! Surely the police department manages to respond to calls without their own horn, as does EMS!! It is time that the city and the fire departments acknowledge that this is as much a nuisance to city living in Geneva as dilapidated houses and uncollected trash. Discontinue the use of this outmoded technology immediately OR prove to us exactly why this must go on as it has!! Tradition and history are not sufficient reasons. I'm sick of the noise! And I am NOT the only one!!

Update: I have since googled this very issue and see it is a perennial problem that has not been satisfactorily resolved despite plenty of public outcry. That is unacceptable to me! In the almost ten years that I have lived in this city at several different downtown locations, I have had to put up with this noise. As a renter, I felt I didn't have much power to effect change nor did I feel like it was worth a fight since I would eventually leave. I have since purchased a house practically down the street from this horn. If the issue remains unresolved and the city insists on ignoring the complaints of its citizens and deferring to ignorant and untested hypothetical arguments, my house will go back on the market. I will move someplace where reason and modern technology lead and where the citizens have a right to peace and quiet. If there is a wide scale power outage or a cell tower failure or some other circumstance which warrants a return to the technology of yesterday, fine. That would be tolerable. But this horn has sounded no less than three times in the past two days at unreasonable (sleeping) hours. Do we really have that many active fires? Is it really a problem for our firemen to locate an emergency? If so, then let's revisit the tax dollars that are spent on the other communication systems I KNOW they ACTUALLY depend on. I have yet to see a fireman about town stopped in his tracks counting horn blares to figure out where he's supposed to go. It's utter nonsense!

And again Casella keeps going the wrong way

Apparently this house has been made into a boarding house. There are typically 5 to 6 cars parked in front of the house. Is this not a single family home? There are likely a minimum of 5 besides the owner living there. They have been observed regularly using the driveway of the empty house next,door as well as the back yard, as an auto repair facility which is typically accompanied by loud music. Is there no ordinance or corrective action that can be taken to return this neighboorhood to a quiet single family neighborhood?

same old german shepard let out without anyone outside with it. No leash. Last week went after a person walking their dog.

Hello,
For over a solid month now both 136 High St (White single family house on North side of street next to vacant brick store) and 132-134 High St (Green duplex) have not removed their garbage bins from the curb plus 132-134's bins have been overflowing with garbage for the past two weeks... probably didn't pay the bill. It is so incredibly unsightly and embarrassing to live in this area of Geneva. Across the street at 133 High St (white multi-family property next to Brick apartment building) they've had multiple black garbage bags sitting on the curb for a few weeks too. Not sure what is going on but this is too much of a garbage eyesore! Thanks for any help you can provide to get this area cleaned up!
