I’m reaching out regarding an ongoing concern with the Farmers Insurance office owned by Philip Carr. He has been contacted previously about the requirement to keep his sidewalks clear of snow, but the issue continues. The snow stopped on Sunday 1/25 and still this morning 1/25, the Washington Street side of his building remained unshoveled. The Towanda side was cleared, but by a neighboring business rather than the property owner. Additionally, the lot is plowed, the snow is plowed into the neighboring property and the sidewalk blocked by mounds of snow, that the property owner then has to remove to ensure their children can get to school Given that his location sits directly across from an elementary school with many students walking in this area, the lack of compliance creates a real safety issue. I’m requesting that the city follow up on this situation and address the repeated failure to maintain the sidewalks as required.

There was a pass over plow at the apartment complex. This has lead to cars being completely blocked in by packs of snow because the snow was not moved to one area. Resident received an email on Monday stating the streets would be plowed again and the sidewalks would be shoveled the next day. And only emergency vehicles were allowed to enter the complex. However, none of these things happened. Despite the staff and facilities living on premise and being at work in their offices. They essentially sent out an email stating everyone is trapped in their apartments and have not done anything since then. I understand this probably more of an apartment complex issue, but they are not listening to complaints from people. If you travel to Basswood to see the dangerous conditions, or call them, I'm sure that would be enough for them to take action.

What appears to be a sump pump discharge pipe at 801 W Howe Street is sending a significant amount of liquid water into the public right-of-way during freezing conditions. Water is being dumped onto the sidewalk on S Maple Street, between W 2nd and W Howe. This is creating a driving hazard and safety issue at the intersection of W Howe and S Maple, as the liquid water is running out into the intersection, pooling, and freezing into a sheet of ice. What doesn't freeze at this intersection is travelling down Howe to the entrance for the Building Trade Park parking lot, where it is also freezing into a sheet of ice.
