Residents of a certain Newburgh neighborhood told News 12 Thursday the city government — and the developer who build their subdivision — have ditched them, leaving them without snow plow service, and snowed in once again.

Zuleika Hernandez is one of several Morris Avenue residents who were unable to go to work due to the unplowed hill they live on.

In the nearly five years since the homes were built, not once has a city plow truck come up Morris Avenue.

"They didn't fix anything," Hernandez said. "Everything's been the same."

News 12 has previously reported the city's Public Works Department cannot legally use their snow removal equipment on Morris Ave because it has not been dedicated as an official street.

City officials said that in order for the street's maintenance to be fully taken over by its own public works department, the developer of the subdivision — Iconic Properties of northeastern Pennsylvania — must complete the street's drainage and runoff infrastructure as required by law and fix a retaining wall.

The city issued stormwater violations to Iconic Properties in 2021 and 2023.

A coalition of Morris Ave residents has been asking the city to escalate its actions to compel the developer to finish the work.

"The city meeting — the neighbors, they all go. We did a letter," Hernandez said of the group's efforts. "Nothing's been changed."

"It's almost as if we have to beg in order to get support for our street," neighbor Nedra Garriques said.

Iconic Properties owner Dimitri Zahariadis has not responded to messages seeking comment for this story.

Tire tracks indicate that three or four drivers had even attempted Thursday morning to go up or down the Morris Ave hill.

There were more deer tracks than foot prints.

"We're kind of like stuck," Jasmine Regault said. "The city said they can't do anything. Dimitri said he can't do anything. Where does that leave us taxpayers?"

A city spokesperson said in an email city officials have been in communication with the residents and are still considering their options for how to proceed.

"We continue to examine all available legal remedies to compel this bad actor to cure his ongoing violations and complete the required work," he wrote.

City officials responded similarly for a story in February 2024 that shared those same concerns about the developer, saying in an email "the city is exploring, and is prepared to take, all available legal action against the developer."

A stormwater infrastructure project was started on the Morris Ave hill, but the project remains incomplete.

It is overgrown with vegetation and no visible work has happened since News 12's February 2024 story.
