City of Pmy N. / wrnpfat Merridith O'Leary <moleary@northamptonma.gov> Fwd: Accumulated trash behind garage at 236 South Street, 1 message Mayor of Northampton Mass.<mayor @northamptonma.gov> Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 12:50 PM To: Merridith O'Leary<moleary@northamptonma.gov> Good Afternoon Merridith, We received the email below from Greg Sandler this morning. He originally wrote to us about removing the trash at the curb. The DPW reached out to the landlord who said he would handle it. I guess the landlord's way of handling this trash was to move it out of sight. Mr. Sandler is now claiming this to be a public health and safety issue. Is this something you could look into? Thanks, Bridget Forwarded message------- From: Greg Sandler<greg @thinkglobal.com> Date:Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 10:58 AM Subject: Accumulated trash behind garage at 236 South Street, To: mayor @northamptonma.gov David, Deb @ DPW followed up on the issue of trash that was left on the curb in front of 236 South Street. Unfortunately,the trash was simply moved so that it is now laying in the right-of-way between the back of my building @3 Olive St and the garage @236 South Street. See Pic 1 This joins a pile of trash and yard debris (pits 2 and 3)that has been piled behind and next to the garage for more than year. I believe this abandoned trash poses a public health and safety threat as well as a potential fire hazard(the tenants at 236 South have a portable fire pit that can be seen on second floor porch). In my opinion, the trash,which has accumulated for the past year, is a breeding ground for mosquitos and rodents--both of which pose potential threats to human health and safety. It also is a fire hazard,particularly with the piles of organic debris that has also been in the yard since last Fall. Please consider this a formal complaint to address these public health and safety issues.
