BRONX · 69 addresses · 3 precincts
Living on Exterior Street in the Bronx, especially at address 69, is an experience shaped by a combination of noise, maintenance issues, and community concerns. The street's F grade, the lowest possible, reflects the significant challenges residents face.
Noise is the most pressing issue, with 219 complaints related to residential noise alone. This includes 130 reports of loud music or parties, often extending into the night, making it difficult for residents to enjoy peaceful evenings or get a good night's sleep. The constant murmur of loud talking (100 complaints) and banging or pounding (77 complaints) further contribute to the auditory overload. The noise isn't confined to residences; commercial establishments also contribute, with 55 complaints.
Plumbing problems are another significant concern, with 165 complaints. This includes water supply issues, with 159 reports, suggesting that some residents may struggle with consistent water access or pressure. Heat and hot water are also problematic, with 115 complaints, indicating that some residents may face cold homes or lack of hot water for hygiene and cooking.
Illegal parking (93 complaints) adds another layer of challenge, potentially blocking fire hydrants, making it difficult for emergency services to access the street, and causing congestion on the road. The street condition itself is also a source of concern, with 34 complaints, suggesting potholes, uneven surfaces, or other issues that could make walking or driving unpleasant or even dangerous.
Despite these challenges, Exterior Street is nestled among parks and attractions like Macombs Dam Park, River Avenue Parks, and Yankee Stadium, which could offer residents opportunities for recreation and community engagement. However, the high crime rates, with a total of 82 incidents including 29 felonies, 59 misdemeanors, and 24 violations, cast a shadow over these potential positives. The top offenses, including petit larceny, harassment, and assault, suggest that residents may feel unsafe in their own neighborhood.
