Residents have also reported persistent banging or pounding (22 complaints), suggesting ongoing disturbance from nearby construction or rowdy neighbors. The noise levels are so high that even the more serious issue of a dangerous weapon being used nearby (1 complaint) might not stand out as unusual to those living on the street.
The street's poor grade of F, with a score of 0, underscores the severity of these issues, which are compounded by the fact that many of these problems affect the entire building (44 complaints), rather than isolated apartments.

The nearby streets of Reeds Mill Lane and Wright Avenue also have grade F, indicating that these issues are not isolated to Bivona Street but affect a larger area.
While the crime data for Bivona Street shows a relatively low number of incidents (3 felonies, 2 misdemeanors), the nature of the top offenses—including dangerous weapons and felony assault—reveals that the street is not without its safety concerns. Despite these challenges, the residents of Bivona Street have shown resilience in their efforts to address these issues, as evidenced by the numerous complaints filed in hopes of improving their living conditions.
