Loud construction noise at PS 139 going on into the night. It's now 9:30 and young kids are trying to sleep.
Johns bakery on rugby rd has overflowing garbage from his too small commercial bin. Garbage strewn on the street that is attracting rats and pigeons. This is most problematic on weekends. Discussions with the business owner produce no results.
The small triangle area of land behind the Church Ave entrance to the subway station is extremely littered and seems to not be receiving regular cleaning. This is a major eyesore.
Almost every evening, weather permitting, residents on Newkirk Ave between Flatbush Ave and E 23rd St are blasting music either in front of their building or from a parked vehicle . The police department doesn't usually respond to noise complaints filed around 8 or 9 pm until midnight or much later. The noise and the music from Newkirk can be heard and the base can be felt at my home on Stephens Ct. This evening, I filed a noise complaint # C1-1-1588920771 at 7:32 pm and received an unusually prompt response at 8:47 pm stating that "The Police Department responded to the complaint and with the information available observed no evidence of the violation at that time". This is not true. The music did not stop nor was it lowered. I tried to contact the 67th precinct at (718) 287-3211, but the operator does not pick up the phone. I am not sure what to do, because clearly the police department appears to be ignoring this quality of life issue. And generally, the police patrolling this area do not engage the residents regarding noise unless a complaint has been filed, even though their behavior is in clear violation of the NYC Noise Code. Thank you for your help.
