Spray-Painted ‘Trump’ Sign Fuels Ongoing Neighbor Dispute
|
Saying a next-door neighbor’s political sign has led to harassment of a tenant, the owner of a Locust Avenue home has called for town officials to intervene, records show. Sam Li, owner of an antique Colonial at 113 Locust Ave., told town officials in a Nov. 25 email that neighbors to the east spray-painted sign saying ‘Trump’ on their own fence. “The problem is that the sign is easily mistaken as belonging to my property, as it is literally next to the driveway,” Li said in the email, obtained by NewCanaanite.com through a public records request. “As a result, my tenant is getting all the responses to the sign, often in the form of harassment.”
He added, “Given that the situation is quite disturbing for my tenant, I really appreciate a timely resolution.”
Li sent the email to New Canaan Chief Building Official and Director of Land Use Brian Platz, whose responsibilities include fielding blight complaints.
