Notified About

  • Christopher Columbus Dr & Marin Blvd Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    The left signal turning from Columbus onto Marin coming from Grove Street was apparently intentionally turned off to allow more time for people to drive across Columbus. This makes it basically impossible to turn left onto Marin, as you have to cross two lanes of traffic, wait for Marin to clear, and wait for any pedestrians in the cross-walk. It often takes one car two full cycles to turn left through the intersection. It should be turned back on and the whole cycle should be lengthened to solve both problems.
  • 155 Washington St Jersey City, New Jersey, 07302 - The Waterfront
    Why is Equity Residential above the law? This building is subject to Rent Control but Equity Residential doesn't follow the regulations in lease renewals. Why is the city not enforcing ordinance 260? Why?
  • Grand St & Jersey Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    With the recent explosion of traffic on Jersey Ave due to the direct link to Liberty State Park, the intersection at Jersey Av and Grand St has turned into a nightmare. There need to be dedicated green lights for turning left as well as dedicated safe crossing time for pedestrians instead of having to negotiate with frustrated drivers turning left. Big safety issue and very disappointing that the city did not address this before opening the floodgates.
  • 247 Washington St Jersey City, NJ 07302, USA - The Waterfront
    idiots continue to risk lives. Vision Zero....literally.
  • 149 Essex St Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    Trees on Dudley St and Van Vorst St in Paulus Hook are growing out of control, and brings in many birds that bomb people, cars and the sidewalks with large amounts of droppings. It’s disgusting as well as a health hazard. Please heavily trim or completely remove trees. Have pictures of damage this has caused, but app only allows 1 picture upload. Original request was in July 2022. Nothing has been done.
  • Christopher Columbus Dr & Monmouth St Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    The intersection at Christopher Colombus and Monmouth is VERY dangerous because at the light on Monmouth there are two car lanes one for going straight and one for right turns only. When the light turns green more often than not cars that are in the right turn only lane try to go straight causing a dangerous and unexpected merging situation. I see near collisions every morning.
  • 145 Sussex St Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    I live near the corner of Van Vorst and Sussex and frequently drive down Van Vorst. There is currently parking on both side of the street and two-way traffic. There simply isn’t room for 4 cars on Van Vorst. Cars frequently cannot turn onto the street and are forced to back up into traffic, and visibility turning onto the street is very difficult and last night I witnessed a fender bender as a result. The street can support only three cars, so either it should be turned into a one-way street or parking eliminated from one side.
  • 280 Grove St Jersey City, NJ 07302, USA - Downtown

    Broken city council and Ordinance enforcement.

    Ordinance 260, Rent Control is not being enforced. Per Ordinance 260-6C a rent control exemption only applies if the original owner files a claim of exemption at least 30 days prior to the completion of construction of a multiple dwelling. The default in Jersey City is Rent Control, not an exemption to rent control yet the council, the landlord tenant office, our mayor, Stephen Fulop and the Rent Leveling Administrator, Pastor Shyrone Richardson, are allowing landlords to charge increases that are as high as 10x the legal limit.

    This can't be allowed to continue!

    According to Ordinance 260, the landlord tenant office and the Rent Leveling Administrator exist to enforce Ordinance 260.

    We all SEE what is happening, so I CLICK so this can be FIXED.

    This support ticket request will be widely shared, so we may all track the progress until there is a resolution.

  • 18th St & Marin Blvd Jersey City, NJ, 07310, USA - Downtown
    The corner of 18th and Marin is extremely dangerous for pedestrians with drivers rushing to get into Hoboken. While there is a green arrow for drivers going south and turning east, there is none for those going east and turning north, and those drivers blow through the red light to beat the westbound traffic.
  • Christopher Columbus Dr & Marin Blvd Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    Longer green light for cars to turn from Christopher to Marin Blvd. Adjust street so less congestion.
  • 93 Grand St Jersey City, NJ 07302, USA - The Waterfront
    Since the new bike lanes went in on Grand serious back ups have been accruing in the morning on school days as busses block the east bound lane as they wait to take kids to preschool. In the past there was enough space for east and west bound to negotiate the blocked lane, but with the addition of the bike lanes the space needed to safely go around the busses has disappeared. This has not only caused great frustration, and excessive horn honking, but more importantly it has caused unsafe conditions for our children. When East bound cars see a rare opportunity to go around the busses by incurring into the west bound lane they tend to do so half-hazardly and with too much speed. Could someone please look into this for the safety of our children. By simply extending the spaces allotted to fit 5 school busses, instead of the current 2, between the hours of 7:30-8:30 this problem can be solved. Or at least send a traffic officer on these mornings. Please do what you can, I'd hate to see an child injured due to inaction.
  • Morgan St & Warren St Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    Peppercorns Chinese Restaurant illegally dumping waste from a Decarbonizer into the storm drain at Morgan and Warren Streets. A decarbonizer is used to clean restaurant equipment, and produces highly toxic sodium phosphate, tribasic dodecahydrate. This is probably the worst example of a business practice. It's criminal. The man is wearing protective gear, as he should. For the rest of us and the environment: poison. The company should be fined and forced to clean up the waste.
