Hello All!

My name is Kimberly Gill and I am looking to move down to New Haven (ideally Fair Haven neighborhood) this September. I am searching for a 1 or 2 bedroom first floor apartment - with backyard access. I have a one year old rescue puppy (golden retreiver/australian shepherd mix) who is friendly and well-trained. My budget is up to $1000/month. We are both very clean, respectful, and I am a non-smoker.

About me, I'm 31 years old, grew up in Hartford and…

A recent drone with camera sighting over a Downing Street home by its residents triggered neighbors to question the legality of drone use in urban environments, especially when they hover over our backyards. The issue was presented to State Representative Juan Candelaria, D.-95, who provided an extremely informative reply and analysis.  Rep.

I second another neighbor who was also served the paperwork about a Public Hearing concerning 213 Front street to be granted special permit for more than 500 SF of outdoor storage for boats, but also RVs, and storage containers!

Of most importance is the fact that the property is suffering from significant erosion which is approaching crisis levels to adjoining property. This erosion, if not addressed,  may be made worse from all the activity, extra weight and other actions to…
