Nutley Neighbors Have Snow Dispute, Cops Called

NUTLEY, NJ — Nutley police were called to intervene in a snow-related dispute between neighbors on Union Avenue earlier this month, authorities say.

According to the Nutley Police Department, officers received a snow removal complaint from a Union Avenue resident on Feb. 9. On arrival, officers spoke with the homeowner, who told them that a heap of snow had been plowed from the neighboring property onto theirs.

The resident told officers that the neighboring property is “owned by an apartment complex” and when the snow was shoved onto their property it squeezed against the side of the garage, causing a crack, police said.

The cost of the damage was unknown, police said.

The homeowner told police that the situation has happened before, and that when they contacted a representative from the complex, the employee told them someone would come to remove the snow but never arrived.

Nutley police advised the resident how to file a complaint with the municipal court; no further action was taken, authorities said.
