Descrizione
Another Spring has arrived and as thousands of vehicles exit Rt. 8 N at Exit 17 to reach our main shopping district on Division and Pershing one of their fist sights of Ansonia as they sit on the hill above Pershing waiting for the signal is this BEAUTIFUL example of what is wrong with blight enforcement in the city.
Here we are with one of the worst possible "Welcome" signs the city can have. A blighted home with plywood window and now that it's spring the tree growing out of the room is back in full bloom!
Not to mention other ugly issues about this and the neighboring property! However, if a ugly house with a plywood window and a tree growing out of it is not blighted (and in the worst possible spot as it does get seen by most visitors) then I don't know what is.
NOTHING has been done to force the owner to clean this up?

Mr. Lunenski,
Ansonia residents are PAYING the salary of an anti-blight officers and the "the only way this can be addressed is to contact the Anti-Blight Officer". He has no ability to tour the city, SEE blight with his own two eyes and report back to the Mayor? The residents have to do his job for him?
It is also his job to monitor public forums such as this (even if the city prefers this site didn't exist, it's life and other news sites direct people here so get over it.) and see if something like this is mentioned so he can look into it.
If Mr. Blackwell is unable to do those two simple thing, he needs to refund his salary to Ansonia and be replaced. The blight officer is not paid to sit near a phone and wait for it to ring.
If ANYONE doesn't think that home is not blight, than the blight ordinance needs to be revised!
