Description: 89 Northhampton street - the 311 team came by yesterday to clean up two needles in the snow and I can confirm they spoke with me on the phone about the retrieval - and I saw they were gone when I got home at 6:15 pm last night. I just found at least two more needles sticking out in the show - one is needle up, and open, which could be incredibly dangerous for anyone just walking by. I spoke to 311 over the phone just now and they recommended I submit a new case with the same address I used on the last case since it was a successful retrieval. I’m not sure if someone is continuing to put needles in this spot - or if there were a bunch of them, and they are slowly revealing themselves as the snow melts - but this is at least the third group of multiple needles in the same exact spot. So bad! I appreciate all your help. The needles are located in the left of the black door in the photo - that’s my private entrance, located behind 685 Mass Ave, on trask street. The needles are on your left when you walk up to the door - be careful!!! I police for the confusion with the GPS location. The correct spot is on Trask Street, behind 685 Mass Ave
