Description
Home is abandoned, and covered with weeds, including Poison Ivy at the entrance, and Black Swallowwort, which is going to seed, and listed as an invasive plant. I have also been told by a neighbor that drug deals are happening on that corner - have not witnessed this, but have noticed different cars (not neighbors' vehicles) parking by the house.
also asked...
Q. Is the problem blight (trash, etc) outside, or is it a problem with the building (illegal use, housing code violation, etc)?

Good Afternoon All. I am weighing in for LCI as the Neighborhood Specialist for Westville and Beaver Hills. I hope this update will answer your questions and address your concerns. 500 Central Ave. has accrued $9,000.00 in anti-blight fines, among other fines for property maintenance (fence around pool, grass and snow removal, ECT.) which was done by the city. The recently attached Anti-Blight Lien of $9,000, is the first step toward a foreclosure action. This is a complicated legal process, especially with the way the title of this property is. It will take some time depending on how the Bank of American responds to this action. They may want to pay the fine, finally take official title of the property and come into compliance, in order to re-sell the property. Nevertheless, it is our intention to gain compliance and promote quality of life for the neighborhood. I am confident that through the anti-blight ordinance we will achieve this goal. Finally, LCI has regullary cut, cleaned and secured this property for the past few years and we will continue to do so. I will talk to our property maintenance division and ask if they could remove more of the invasive weeds/bushes around the property when they cut the grass. Please don't hesitate to give me a call with any questions. I appreciate your concern and involvement with the neighborhood and this matter.
Thanks .

LCI, can you provide a brief update on the house?
In terms of reinvestment and the historic nature of the home, it is eligible, like all houses in the Westville Suburban Historic District (roughly Yale Ave/West Rock to Fountain to Forest to Yale fields), and in all other historic districts in New Haven, for the Historic Homes Tax Credit from the state. The credit is 30% back on most interior and exterior repairs, renovations and upgrades for projects between $25-100K. No vinyl siding or additions, but painting, roof, structural, HVAC, and more are all eligible costs. Cash back after the tax credit is sold to a corporation is about 25-26%, so about $25K in cash back to the homeowner for a $100K project. Go to http://www.cultureandtourism.org/cct/cwp/view.asp?a=2127&q=302270 for more info.

If taxes, sewer or water are owed, start a foreclosure NOW to get their attention.

I am all for getting together as a neighborhood and helping this property out. Both my husband and I have been talking about it since this post first originated. How do we get started? Maybe we can get an email list going? I don't mind if someone wants to contact me directly--I'd love to do whatever it takes to get this off the ground. Jesswrubel@gmail.com
Btw, Barbara--as for who owns the house, with a simple Google and property assessment search you can find the name of the homeowner and lots of other info. Obviously, I'm not going to post it here out of respect, but the info is definitely out there.
