Maybe you can hope for a wind storm to take down the pole or someone to cra=
sh into it, then they'll surely have to fix it.

Unfortunately, the lines are being resold by a CLEC. My understanding is t=
he PUC/PSC doesn't take complaints from CLECs and, since the customer is cu=
stomer of the CLEC, any complaints which are filed go against the CLEC, not=
Verizon. =20

Agreed, but Verizon and whoever happens to be on that pole are pretty unlik=
ely to do that unless pushed. The NY Public Service Commission might find =
the state of what's on that pole interesting, particularly with supporting =
documentation (trouble history, pole number/location, etc).
