Description
There are 3 unregistered vehicles in the rear & side of this property. Only one is permitted. Also the yard is full of trash and rodents.
I know this property has a reputation as being "un-fixable"--but it's now time to fix it. If the owners refuse to do so, LCI needs to do it & put a lien on this property. Residents here are paying outrageous property taxes--now even more so, thanks to our mayor & board of aldermen. Therefore, this is a MINIMAL service that we expect for our tax dollars.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING UP THIS MESS?
See my following posts for the answer:

On June 29, 1966 United Illuminating Company [aka UI] sold 190 Greenwich Ave. to Liberantonio & Yolanda Sorbo. As part of this same transaction UI granted the Sorbos a 10 foot-wide by 150 foot-long right-of-way on UI’s lot known as 192 Greenwich Ave., said right-of-way running along side of & parallel to the Sorbo property, 190 Greenwich Ave. See land records, Vol. 2309, page 510.
HOWEVER, UI STILL OWNS THE ENTIRE EMPTY LOT KNOWN AS 192 GREENWICH AVE.
Because the Sorbos have been trespassing on the remainder of UI’s lot for an unknown period, there is a possibility that they now can claim a right of way—but not ownership—on all of UI’s empty lot known as 192 Greenwich Ave. However, this is an issue between the Sorbos & UI—and is irrelevant to the matter at hand—i.e., an illegal auto junkyard in a residential zone.
It took me 90 minutes at the Hall of Records to figure this out—and I did it for free! However, since your bloated government hasn’t been able to figure this out for decades, focusing its attention instead on ever-new ways to empty your wallet, I’m going to walk everybody through what needs to happen next:
• LCI needs to contact the property management division of UI and order them to clean up their property known as 192 Greenwich Ave. Said order should include the customary warnings about potential fines, etc. blah, blah, blah.
• LCI needs to issue a cease-and-desist order to Michael & Claudio Sorbo concerning their operation of an illegal auto junkyard in a residential zone, as a deterrent against their re-creating this mess after UI removes it.
If UI wishes to sue the Sorbos for the cost incurred by UI to clean up the Sorbos’ crap, that’s UI’s business—but is irrelevant to this matter. Capiche? Then friggin’ move it, already!!!!

P.S. Did you know that the empty lot used to lead to the West River salt marsh and, after that was filled in, to Kimberly Field? Hard to imagine, but see aerial photos on www.CityPointNewHavenConnecticut.net

Chris,
Can we close this?

Thanks for your concern. At present the Sorbo property looks worse than I can ever remember. The view from my property is that of a junk yard. LCI has never affectively followed through on any of their threats or promises or imposed fines. Please keep me posted.

2 ½ years after I opened this issue on SeeClickFix, why is this so?

Chris,
This issue was posted: 2010-06-09 before SCF became part of our daily lives.
In the past this property was cleaned up and progress was being made. Given your statement we will visit this property and the Sorbo family.
We will continue our efforts
