Living on Forrest Street in Brooklyn is an experience that's far from quiet and peaceful. The street's grade of F, with a score of 22.6, reflects the numerous challenges residents face, with noise being the most predominant issue. Late-night parties with loud music are a recurring problem, with 24 complaints specifically citing this. The noise doesn't just come from parties; it's also caused by street activity and vehicles, with 5 complaints each. This constant din can make it difficult for residents to enjoy their homes, let alone get a good night's sleep.

The building infrastructure on Forrest Street leaves much to be desired. Elevator issues are a significant concern, with 9 complaints about elevators being the only service on a property or having no alternate service. This can be particularly challenging for residents with mobility issues. Additionally, 6 complaints were made about work being done without a permit in occupied multiple dwellings, suggesting a lack of oversight and regulation in construction activities. The heating and hot water systems are also a source of frustration, with 11 complaints about defective or inoperative boilers, leading to uncomfortable living conditions during colder months.

The street is also plagued by illegal parking, with 6 complaints, which can make it difficult for residents to find a parking spot and potentially block fire hydrants, posing a safety risk. Furthermore, 3 complaints about working contrary to a stop work order suggest a disregard for rules and regulations, adding to the overall chaos. Despite these challenges, crime statistics on Forrest Street are relatively low, with no felonies reported and only 4 misdemeanors and no violations. However, the most common offenses, criminal mischief and petit larceny, indicate that property damage and petty theft are still concerns.
