It seems unusual that the city hasn't acknowledged an issue of this type. I forwarded the issue to a local elected official just so that additional people are aware that it may be a problem.

Of course, we need to call 911 immediately whenever we see anything that we believe may be a life-threatening emergency.

Thank you New Haven DPW.
