Sidewalk is not ADA accessible; pole blocks the way

Illegal chain - blocking side walk area knee height hard to see. Someone is going to trip and fall. Stretched between 2 yellow poles near hotel presumably to prevent vehicles. But high per traffic area

On the school side an old pole that was removed and now a hole in the sidewalk | Cause of damage: [Construction]

There is an oil leak from an electrical pole, in front of 125 Chiswick Rd in Brighton.

Submitted this two months ago and 311 forwarded it to Eversource, but Eversource never resolved this issue and it’s getting worse. Sharp metal pole sticking out onto sidewalk and degrading concrete, posing a hazard to pedestrians.

Right in front of the Madison Park, vocational-technical high school on the sidewalk, there are metal Poles that are broken and the sidewalk is broken.Needs to be repaired right in front of a school zone right near MBTA Bus Stop

Damaged light pole

Section of sidewalk is missing entirely. It was taken out as part of the process of replacing a utility pole. It has been missing for more than 3 years-- this repair is very overdue. I have requested this same repair here on Boston 311 multiple times now, over the course of more than a year, and each time the outcome has been the same: the case gets closed, without the repair getting done, and without any indication of when it will be scheduled. Initially there was also back and forth about whether the city or the utility company is responsible, but long ago the city accepted responsibility and said it will do the repair. It just won't say when it will do it, then closes the case. I've been patient and I've been reasonable and I've been polite. It's time to prioritize and do this simple repair! Do not close this case again without doing the repair, and also without giving any indication when you will do it!

**Per PWD NOTE: PWD has fwd'd this to ISD as it is a private property/public hazard situation Coal Chutes are the responsibility of the property owners. City of Boston Ordinance 11-6.18 Indemnity for City. Every owner of an estate hereafter maintaining any cellar, vault, coal hole or other excavation under the part of the street which is adjacent to, or part of, his or her estate, shall do so only on condition that such maintenance shall be considered as an agreement on his or her part to hold the city harmless from any claims for damage to himself or herself or the occupants of such estate resulting from gas, sewage or water leaking into such excavation or upon such estate; and every such owner and every person maintaining a post, pole or other structure in a street, or a wire, pipe, conduit or other structure under a street, shall do so only on condition that such maintenance shall be considered as an agreement on his or her part with the city to keep the same and the covers thereof in good repair and condition at all times during his or her ownership and to indemnify and save harmless the city against any and all damages, costs, expenses or compensation which it may sustain or be required to pay, by reason of such excavation or structure being under or in the street, or being out of repair during his or her ownership, or by reason of any cover of the same being out of repair or unfastened during his or her ownership. Broken sidewalk. The owners of this building are aware that they are responsible for repairs. This sidewalk has been broken for years and is only getting worse. How long is the city going to wait before some enforcement action?

Are there plans to clean up and fix where these repairs were done? Can you please fix the giant pothole created on the street? This is a bad driving hazard. Can the holes in the side walk around the pole be fixed and the debris from ripping up the street left around on the street be cleaned up? This is a substandard way to leave the street and sidewalk after repairs were done. Thanks for rectifying!
