Living on College Road in the Bronx is a mixed bag, with residents facing a range of challenges and inconveniences, as reflected in the official city data. The street's grade of C suggests that while there are areas of concern, it's not among the worst in the city. However, the top complaints tell a story of consistent issues that residents have to contend with.
Water system problems are the most frequent, with six reports. This includes periods of no water (WNW) due to blockages, often caused by construction activities. Residents have had to deal with their water being shut off multiple times, which can be disruptive and inconvenient. Additionally, there have been instances of water quality issues, with one report mentioning a taste or odor problem, likely due to chlorine. The street's water conservation efforts have also been a source of complaint, with one report suggesting that they may be contrary to approved plans or permits.
Illegal parking is another significant issue on College Road, with one report of a parked vehicle blocking a fire hydrant. This not only violates parking regulations but also poses a safety hazard, as it could impede firefighters' access to hydrants in case of an emergency. There has also been one report of a vehicle being parked in a way that violates posted parking signs.
Despite these challenges, the crime rate on College Road appears to be relatively low, with only two felony offenses reported. However, one of these was a felony assault, which can be concerning for residents. The other offense was grand larceny, suggesting a possible theft or burglary. While these offenses may not be directly related to the street's other issues, they contribute to the overall sense of inconvenience and disruption that residents experience.
In comparison to nearby streets, College Road's grade is lower than the A grades of Indian Road, Old Albany Post Road, and West 251 Street, but higher than the F grade of Fieldston Terrace. This suggests that while there are certainly issues on College Road, they may not be as severe as those experienced by residents of Fieldston Terrace. However, this is little comfort to those who have to deal with the daily challenges of living on College Road.
