Regular utility easements are so dead common they wouldn’t need to be explicitly listed in the purchase and sale. It’s on the buyer to do their own due diligence as concerns easements. It sounds like the OP didn’t even pay for a real title search, or if they did didn’t understand it…

The county handles the registry of deeds, which is where any recorded easement would be. Suffolk County Registry of Deeds is searchable online. I would be fairly shocked if there wasn’t a utility easement that Comcast is entitled to use. I also think you’re being shortsighted, those easements normally require them to put the yard back the way they found it as long as you haven’t built, like, an in ground pool in the way.

I lived on Sunnyside street several years ago and loved it. Close knit neighbors who keep an eye out. Personally I wouldn't choose that specific location in Hyde park on Clare Ave. The vibe in that area is not the same as I just described plus you're right near the main road Hyde park Ave, which isnt ideal w the dirtbikes and traffic. Not really a place you'd go for a walk around on a nice day. But where I used to live was by the park and was super nice to live near. So Hyde park has different vibes in different places, it's not homogeneous.

No. If they do the work anyway you go out there and shut it down immediately. They do not have the right to do that. Most people likely don’t fight or stop them. If they show up and start digging you go out, tell them no and call the cops. It’s that simple. It’s a battle but the principle matters. If it’s that important to you, you have a fight.
