Thanks to my daily walks around the neighborhood (and really thanks to my gorgeous Siberian, Kanela) I get to see more of the neighborhood everyday than I normally would otherwise.
Well today
I passed by 688 Courtlandt Avenue at the corner of East 154th Street. For years the backyard of this 5-6 unit building with a vacant store on the ground floor has been the dumping ground in the vicinity for all things: mattresses, toilets, refrigerators and just garbage. We can thank the owner, Green Courtlandt Realty, Inc (ironic name, isn’t it?) who has neglected to repair the broken chain-link fence which has been wide open to the street for as long as I can remember. The garbage just spills right onto the sidewalk creating a breeding ground for all types of bugs, bacteria and rats…large ones.

Stay tuned to find out how long it will take to remediate this situation!
A big Melrose SHAME ON YOU to Green Courtlandt Realty, Inc for allowing 688 Courtlandt Avenue’s backyard to be a cesspool of filth in our neighborhood. Maybe you can create a private garden so that your tenants can enjoy a little greenery instead of staring at a mound of garbage?
