LCI Inspector Frank Alvarado paced around a frigid Cedar Hill bedroom with a mystery to solve: How could a bedroom have been built without a heating vent?
Another city inspector hadn’t noticed the problem the last time he’d visited the apartment. Now a judge had sent Alvarado back to check again.

It’s a plush duck butt, hanging from the wall. Is it a piece of cartoon taxidermy? Is the bird crawling through a hole? Or is there something more oddly magical going on?
The only way this reporter knows for certain that the bird in question is, in fact, a duck, is because elsewhere in “Outdoors at Paul’s” — a show of art by Douglas Degges and Noe Jimenez running now through the week at iiiiotae in Cedar Hill — the duck’s head and torso are emerging from the wall, with the kind of blank stuffed-animal expression into which one can read just about any emotion.
A local investor-landlord has moved to evict everyone who lives in a Cedar Hill three-family house — including a 76-year-old Air Force veteran — less than a month after buying the property as part of a $1 million package deal.

As cars raced by the I‑95 Exit 5 entrance ramp on State Street during the morning rush hour, “Keith Nauer” was “flying a sign.” It read, “Homeless. Help. Thank You. God bless you all.”
Cedar Hill streets shone a bit brighter and cleaner Friday, thanks to a new federal pandemic relief-funded partnership between the public works department and a job-training nonprofit for ex-offenders.

A landlord plans to get married. He needs more living space so he can live with his wife. So he is trying to evict three out of four tenants in his home, all of whom, he argued, overstayed their leases, and, in one case, left him with “worries for his life.”
The city plans to reopen East Rock’s English Drive and a section of Orange Street to car traffic starting in early January in order to ease Cedar Hill residents’ concerns that closings dangerously bottled up their isolated neighborhood.
Life went painfully on Wednesday for Howard Lewis’s family as they held an outdoor birthday party for his 10-year-old son — while top cops and city officials sought to figure out who killed Lewis and one other man the night before, and how to get a handle on New Haven’s worst stretch of violence in a decade.
New Haven has now surpassed the number of shootings it saw in all of 2019. It’s only July.

A pair of New Haveners with deep roots in their communities within the city are on track to see their names on street corners in Newhallville and Cedar Hill.
Joe Jadach has lived in a tent under the I‑91 overpass behind the Ralph Walker Skating Rink for the past seven months.
Now that the city has ordered the clearing out of his and a handful of other Goatville homeless encampments, Jadach is packing up his belongings and getting ready to move … where? He’s not sure. But he has survived outdoors this long, and figures he can last a bit longer until he lands a stable job and apartment.

Paint was peeling by the front door of the house at 31 Grace St. Rafael Ramos, the deputy head of housing code enforcement at New Haven government’s Livable City Initiative (LCI), noticed a broken window by the side as well as trash left out in the backyard.
He didn’t expect to discover four illegal apartments in the house’s basement when he knocked on the door.

Cedar Hill neighbors didn’t want a 24-hour convenience store. And they’re not going to get one. Instead, they will keep a plain gas station at the corner of Ferry and State Street — one that still stays open 24 hours.
Rebecca Turcio, who championed the cause of one of New Haven’s littlest-noticed neighborhoods and emerged as one of the first and most passionate humane local grassroots voices of the Internet Age, died Monday after a long illness at the age of 54. Her imprint on New Haven lives on.

Just because you don’t hear much about HIV/AIDS doesn’t mean the threat is no longer present.
That is the World AIDS Day takeaway message for the dozens of people who packed a common area of the state’s only free-standing nursing home for people living with HIV or AIDS.
Cedar Hill is in its worst shape in half a century, and its few remaining business owners desperately need the city’s help.
They also need to convince city zoners to reconsider a decision that’s preventing an investor from expanding a gas station with a 24-hour convenience store.
Merchants from the pocket-sized neighborhood at the eastern end of New Haven’s Hamden border delivered that message Thursday to city economic development and anti-blight officials during an emotional hour-and-a-half-long meeting.
