Living on Puritan Avenue in the Bronx, you'd find yourself in a neighborhood that's seen better days, with a grade of D reflecting the challenges residents face. The street is plagued by chronic parking issues, with illegal parking and abandoned vehicles among the top complaints. On any given day, you might struggle to find a parking spot due to cars parked haphazardly, often blocking fire hydrants, a serious safety concern in a city prone to fires. Residents have reported blocked hydrants over a dozen times, highlighting the urgency of this issue.
The street's condition is far from ideal, with damaged and dead trees, potholes, and even reports of cave-ins. The water system has also been a source of frustration, with instances of dirty water and blocked water main access. Despite these challenges, the crime rate on Puritan Avenue is relatively low, with only two felonies reported, including grand larceny and grand larceny of a motor vehicle. However, the surrounding streets tell a different story, with nearby Waterbury Avenue and Bradford Avenue having failing grades, suggesting a broader issue within the neighborhood.
