West 89 Street

Should you live here? F — 0

Living on West 89th Street in Manhattan can be a challenging experience, as indicated by its poor grade and the multitude of complaints. Residents are constantly plagued by noise pollution, with the most significant offenders being helicopters and residential noise. The persistent sound of helicopters, likely due to nearby heliports, can make it difficult to enjoy quiet moments at home. Additionally, loud talking and music, often emanating from rowdy parties, contribute to the overall cacophony, making it a struggle for those trying to sleep or simply enjoy a peaceful evening. The noise situation is compounded by the fact that many residents seem to be negligent in managing their garbage, with trash accumulation being a frequent issue.

Illegal parking is another major headache for residents. The narrow streets are often clogged with vehicles parked in unauthorized zones, blocking fire hydrants, and even blocking crosswalks, posing potential safety hazards. This issue is further exacerbated by the lack of curb and sidewalk maintenance. Residents have reported broken curbs and sidewalks, which can be dangerous for pedestrians and difficult for those with mobility challenges. During winter months, snow and ice accumulation can make already treacherous conditions even worse. While the city's grading system might not reflect it, the crime rate on this street is also notable, with a mix of felonies, misdemeanors, and violations, primarily involving theft-related offenses.
