Re:NCAP Ward Meetings/Support for our CCRB


Dear Councilman Ramos,


On Wednesday evening, October 10th, we invite to come and greet the community as we host the fourth of five of our Ward based community feedback forums as we continue to build support for our Civilian Complaint Review Board.


Our meeting for the North Ward will take place at the Lombardi Center, 201 Bloomfield Avenue. from 6 to 8pm.


We want you to remind the community that we, the people of the City of Newark, created our new Board through an ordinance that was unanimously passed by our City Council in 2016, and that our continued unity is important as the fight for the Board continues in the Courts.


I can be reached at 973 202 0745


Thank you in advance.

Hello, my husband and I have called your office on numerous occasions asking to please be called back to discuss an urgent matter, and we have been told the message would be passed along and we could expect to hear from you in the next few days; maybe this is a better route. I live next to an abandoned house which, to our understanding was bought and supposedly going to be fixed/ torn down and now it has been 1 year 1/2 & these these people have not only done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, they don’t even keep up with the maintenance. The grass is so high & spills into the street. You can’t even walk on the sidewalk or SEE oncoming traffic or pedestrians. The worst part is the traffic of drug addicts & prostitutes that hop over the gate & do their business in there, DAILY…EVERY FEW MINUTES. I can’t enjoy taking my kids to my own backyard because on too many occasions I’ll be met with someone shooting up drugs, taking a piss or engaging in sexual activities . This house has caught on fire more than once in the past and I’m very afraid of it happening again and we end up losing OUR home since it is so close and the amount of garbage and forage is hazardous. We have called city hall, code regulation people, your office…no one knows anything. Supposedly their was a notice on the door saying they had a certain time frame to do something with the house or the city would tear it down…that was months ago and the house is still there..GETTING WORSE. I don’t know if this is in your power to be able to help or get something done but this needs to be fixed. The new owners need to be held responsible asap. This house should have been torn down YEARS AGO. It is putting a lot of people in danger. Anyone can get dragged in there, beaten, robbed, raped and you can’t see if someone IS hiding waiting to jump out at you. And I don’t want to hear "call the cops when you see activity " Newark cops don’t give a damn about these kinds of problems. My street is riddled with prostitutes/dealers/users and EVERYONE knows it and cops will come up and down broadway worrying about double parked cars rather than actual crime. Someone needs to TAKE CARE OF THIS. Many people on this block have called different places trying to get this situation fixed. Don’t wait until this ends up on the news because of a tragedy.

Hello Councilman,

I would like to meet with you in regards to the Newark Fire Department and the next academy.

When are they building the New Police Precinct by Newark Stadium on Bloomfield Ave, they really need to be around there as my daughter works in CVS which was just robbed and there are alot of criminals in that area lately???

Mr. Ramos, I would like to bring to your attention to the situation with the collection of recyclables in Heller Parkway between Mt. Prospect and Woodside and adjacent streets. The collection has not happened in the last two weeks. I did call the Sanitation Dept. and their answer was that they are working on new contracts but it does not make sense. I do not see other streets with this problem, especially in Forests Hills. Please address this issue as this makes our neighborhood unsightly and attracts vermin.


Thank you.

There are major potholes on Christopher Lane in Newark DE. They just made Margaret street one way, so they are forcing more people to use Christopher Lane to exit from the Creek View Road area and these potholes are very large in size. These have been there for over 7 months and are getting bigger. We need these fixed as more traffic will be using this road.

Please delete my profile

Wow. The potholes in front of 61 Victoria (6th) avenue are making buildings shake when trucks or buses roll into them. THey are 3 inches and more deep in places. You can see the bricks that once were the avenue. SOMETHING has to be done.

It sounds like an explosion everytime even a car goes into and out of these series of potholes.

Someone on a motorcycle or a bike in the dark can get SERIOUSLY INJURED. At this point it is a public health issue.

could you possibly send public works to fill potholes in front of 95 Delavan ave east

I recently moved from Manchester pl to Summer Ave. And I noticed the streets are filthy because we don’t get no street cleaning. Why? It’s a shame that only the streets from Mt Prospect n up are the only ones that gets street cleaning, the rest are forgotten.

There hasn’t been no street cleaning on Summer Ave n other streets nearby. Why?

Dear Councilman Aníbal Ramos Jr. ,


My name is Gabrielle Vera, I’m 18 years old and a student at Rutgers University Newark. I grew up in Newark and live in our city’s North ward. I am the former secretary of the Newark Student union, an organization that worked tirelessly for the return of local control in our city.


Throughout my high school career I dedicated countless hours to engaging, supporting, and empowering my community. I have done work with Sadie Nash to support young woman of color and was recently selected as an Aspen young leaders fellow in Newark.


I began my college career early after dropping out of high school at 16 years old and returning to a non-traditional program known as gateway to college , located at Essex County College. After returning to school, I graduated at 17 with a high school diploma and 40 college credits, and immediately began Rutgers University in the Fall of 2017. All of my experiences combined led me to decide to become a political science major and legal studies minor at Rutgers.

As a political science major, I have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to intern at our nation’s capital with the Washington Center. Unfortunately the costs of the program total to approximately $14,700. I have already earned a residential scholarship through the Honors Living Learning Community at Rutgers Newark to help minimize costs, however I am still in need.


Is there any way that you, Councilman, can assist me with scholarship funds? I have and still am an active member in my community and see this as a great opportunity for my community to help me. As we all know, it takes a village.


Please keep in touch and read part of my story through my GoFundMe account.


Thank you for your time,

Dear Councilman,

Several non-residents park on Mount Prospect between Heller Parkway and Graftin Ave leaving with residents with no choice but to park on the bike lane and subsequently receiving $54 fines. This is unacceptable and something must be done that favor the residents living on the avenue.

There is a huge pothole that is causing damage to vehicles on North 8th St in front of 628 North 8th St, it needs to be repaired ASAP.

Several very large potholes on Doremus ave are causing drivers to veer onto oncoming traffic to avoid. Someone will get hurt or killed. These have been reported several times starting in 2017

Please get the potholes on riverside ave north newark fixed. The holes are so deep and dangerous.

I saw a list on NJ.com tonight of all the streets getting repaired. 30 miles worth of streets. Verona Ave is not on that list between Highland Ave. and Mt. Prospect Ave. Can you look into it. I have to drive on the opposite side of the road to avoid damaging my car.

The number above does not answer.


I am calling because I think you may be able to put me in contact with Aspira, Inc. of NJ. Just to remind you, Anibal Ramos and Carlos Valentin were both tutors when I was the tutoring director at Rutgers in Newark. At this time, I am trying to invite students to a Leadership Summit being held at Princeton University on 4?28/18 by reaching out to appropriate CBOs. Aspira participated last year bringing 30 students to Caldwell University, but I have not been able to contact anybody at Aspira this year. Please contact me ASAP via your favorite method.

These Newark streets are horrible, I hit two big potholes and damaged my car tremendously. Please please lets fix these streets, people are trying to make a living but instead they must worry about repairing their vehicles.

When are you going to fix the streets in the North Ward, Abington Ave, 1st Avenue, by the school stadium, they are terrible 3 feet holes, this is rediculous our cars are being

damaged and the city should be at fault, please fix them.
