Description

We will be calling the health department and zoning on Monday, but the housing that was originally built as dorms and now houses Sacred Heart students on the corner of Gedulding Street and Park Avenue we feel is way over occupied illegally! besides the parking lots that are available on site at that housing, I took this picture this morning. There were 30 cars parked all the way down Gedulding street almost to Madison Avenue because of this housing. Also, they park on Park Avenue (in the only place apparently you are allowed to park in the shoulder on Park Avenue) and there are at least 15 cars there besides what is legally in their parking lots. This is not a huge building. We feel the housing department, the health department and zoning needs to physically investigate how many people are ACTUALLY living there. That means checking addresses,mail, checking with Sacred Heart, checking car license plates to see where they are actually supposed to be. They are so over capacity illegally in this building that they are parking illegal illegally on Crestview Avenue and everywhere else. That’s why there is constant complaints about parking in and around this building/dorm. And as we said, we will be calling the health department, zoning, and housing on Monday morning. with 30 cars alone from almost the top of Park Avenue down Gedulding Street to almost Madison Avenue, on top of what is in the parking lot and on Park Avenue, this building is way over capacity and it needs to be brought into compliance or shut down immediately! The north end is tired of being dumped on by Sacred Heart university! The mayors office needs to step it up and do something about this! And stop them from parking in the shoulder on Park Avenue! It is not allowed ANYWHERE else on Park Avenue and they park right up to the lip of Gedulding Street – they don’t leave 20 feet of clearance as is state and local law! Sacred heart just brought those Monticello Gardens condos, knocked them all down and have a huge parking lot – let the students park there! Yet no matter how we complain, tickets are not put on any of those cars on Park Avenue. Wonder why Ganim ? Money from Sacred Heart?
