Brockton, MA Ward 2 PLUS

Mr. Craig Pina, a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, has slandered my efforts, my neighbors' efforts and the efforts of two of my city councilors for voicing our opinion at a recent public meeting concerning a proposed development on Summer Street in Campello. Mr. Pina has resorted to posting memes about elected officials and candidates for office that violate any semblance of the ethical conduct expected of a person who represents the City of Brockton. A cursory review of Facebook will uncover his disregard for the reputation of Brockton as a City of Champions. His conduct is not limited to this particular incident and will show a pattern of beahvior harmful to the City. I am requesting that the Board Chair Mr. Galligan and the Mayor investigate this matter and begin the process of removal, by first asking him to step down from the Board, and then if necessary, to have him removed. If Mr. Pina wants to exercise free speech, let him do it as a private citizen. Brockton is better than this.

In one day, I found 6 more dumpster violations in the city. These are in addition to the dumpster violations that I have reported to BOH and so far have not been addressed. I guess I will just keep posting since everyday I see a new violation. None of these violations are hidden; rather they are in plain site for the BOH to see. Apparently, they chose not to see the violations!!

Extremely loud party with full DJ set up, including professional flashing lights. Has been reported to BPD one hour ago. Terribly loud, unneighborly music continues, blasting through closed windows 10 houses away. Our baby is screaming, cannot sleep. If the city cannot handle basic quality of life issues like this, why should people stay? This is not Middleborough with houses spread far apart. When we live in a city, we have to respect those close by, not act like no one cares no matter what we do. This particular house has repeated this behavior weekend after weekend in past summers. When will someone stop them?

554 north main st. This is my second report. First report was November of ‘17 and the status is “acknowledged”. Doors are boarded up that are exits, windows, too. People are actually living here! Do something!

There has been no permit displayed, they removed siding that looked liked asbestos(see photo)siding no hazmat crew was there to remove it. Why were they were wearing masks if it wasn't hazardous? Did they get a Dumpster permit?

If the police dept is looking for some pocket change - they should set up shop near Keith School between the Law office and Firestone. Everyone seems to be going left on red at the light there. Had an outraged woman flipping out behind me honking because I refused to blow the light. Either that or change the signal because no one seems to be adhering to the no left on red light rule there.

The B building of the old Brockton high school looks absolutely horrid everything at the base of it is overgrown and filled with poison ivy it is such an eyesore and I reported it multiple times with no result... something needs to get done!

On March 10, 2018 I reported a damaged wall inside the large stall in the ladies room at the War Memorial Building. Please see photo 1 that was screen shorted of the initial report. On July 16, 2018 it was marked as repaired by the city.

On September 26, 2018 I took the second photo of the same area. THERE WAS NO REPAIR TO THIS WALL AT THE WAR MEMORIAL BUILDING. Compare the two photos.

There is NO EXCUSE for the city to be dishonest about ANY repairs brought up by residents on the See Click Fix app or any other means. This particular repair would take was than an hour to repair.

What else are city employees being dishonest about?

Heading to Prova and passed the entrance to the Hotel Grayson and smelled and saw human feces and trash in the doorway.

It was reported before and nothing was done to address the issue. Patrons at this plaza continue to park on the sidewalk. Its illegal and I hope Someone tells them. Thank you.

Photos taken August 2nd about 2PM. Clothing hanging on the fences, trash and debris on the ground, people seeming to be under the influence of something laying on the ground, etc... NOT A DESIRABLE LOOK FOR THE DOWNTOWN NORTH OF THE CITY!
