Actually, if you call they won't show up. Try the JCIA.

+1 on this thread.
I have noticed a huge up-tick in the amount of broken glass on the sidewalks while walking my dog, especially on Montgomery & York streets (near the post office). Just curious -- if you call the non-emergency police line about this, will they write a ticket to the owner of the building? Or do they give a warning and if it's not taken care of they then write the ticket? Or is the law just never enforced?

I am thrilled to report that since my last post a few days ago, two of the worst offenders on my block have actually cleaned up their sidewalks-- even the dirt surrounding the trees has been kicked up and cleaned out-- this was always the worst part. I can't say they were reading this post as this may be some spring cleaning that was put off, but I am pleased nonetheless.
There is still more to go, so I am compiling as list of repeat offenders in the immediate downtown Grove Street area who have glass ridden sidewalks/trees (as opposed to just trash). I am submitting this list to the appropriate enforcement authority-- if you know of any addresses in violation in this area please post or pm me and I will check it out and add to my list.

Unless the poster is talking about broken car windows. I see broken car window glass all over lately.

Thank you Vigilante for the ordinance-- very helpful! Also thanks to you and other responsible owners who keep their sidewalks clean, we appreciate it!

so then if you won't do anything......shut the fuk up and stop bytching because your doing nothing to help. Thats the problem with you idiots, quick to blame everybody and points fingers as to why this city is in a shythole. Obviously not everything is your fault but actually taking initiative and try to help would make this a better place, no?
So either get up of your ass or move your ass out of here, we don't need more lazy people in JC who complain about other lazy people

Moved from the suburbs?? What an odd comment-- I lived in Manhattan for 10 years and never experienced the level of trash/broken glass I see here. But as an aside, I thought it was strange that my comment would lead someone to conclude that I must have moved from the suburbs-- who moves to JC from the suburbs? Isn't the reverse far more true?
To the person who thinks I should spend my precious free time when I am not working volunteering to clean up other people's broken glass-- I don't think so. I would be happy to lead an effort to require the people who are responsible (the building owners it seems?) to keep their sidewalks clean and safe-- why should I do it for them? Is there an ordinance anyone can point me to on this so I can see what to cite to for violations?

I do my part. I keep the sidewalk in front of MY building clean. Those building owners should do the same.

how about you people stop bytching and start a volunteer community group. Standing there and complaining about it doesn't do anything. Not helping clean this city up is just as bad as those that throw there garbage on the floor.....smh

Oh, that explains it. I guess people in the suburbs throw their bottles into their backyards where no one can see them? Or is it your opinion that we just have more scumbags in the city?

It is a building owners responsibility for keeping the sidewalk in front of their property clean. Kids around here seem to love to smash bottles. I find broken glass in Hamilton Park quite often especially near the basketball court.

I am getting tired of trying to walk my dog around the shards of glass everywhere-- on Grove, Mercer, Wayne etc. The broken glass surrounds every tree and also spills out onto the sidewalks. My dog has stepped on glass before and hurt her tiny paws. What do people do, smash bottles everywhere? I just don't understand and it seems to be getting worse-- I don't recall it being this bad last summer. Does anyone know who is responsible for cleaning sidewalks-- is it the building owners or the city?
