BROOKLYN · 42 addresses · 2 precincts
Living on Furman Street in Brooklyn, particularly at address 42, presents a unique set of challenges, as indicated by the official city data. The street's overall grade of F, with a score of 0, reflects the prevalence of issues that residents have to contend with on a regular basis.
Illegal parking is by far the most pressing issue, with over 200 complaints, many of which involve posted parking sign violations (121) and improper use of parking permits (11). This results in a constant struggle for residents to find parking spaces, with vehicles often blocking hydrants (26), sidewalks (18), and creating potholes (22) due to poor parking habits. The noise pollution is another significant concern, with noise complaints ranging from loud music and parties (91) to commercial noise (68) and vehicle noise (12), making it difficult for residents to enjoy quiet and peaceful environments in their own homes.
In addition to these issues, residents have also reported problems with the water system (14), potential fire hazards due to blocked hydrants, and concerns about for-hire vehicle complaints (8). The presence of homeless individuals seeking assistance (6) and noise from helicopters (6) further contribute to the overall sense of disorder and distress on the street. Despite these challenges, the nearby streets and parks, such as Columbia Heights, Willow Street, Pierrepont Playground, and Brooklyn Bridge Park, offer residents opportunities to escape the chaos and enjoy the more pleasant aspects of Brooklyn.
