QUEENS · 360 addresses · 3 precincts
Living on 135 Avenue in Queens, particularly at address 360, presents a unique set of challenges that have led to it receiving an F grade from official city data. The most prevalent issue is the chronic problem of illegal parking, with a staggering 290 complaints, often leading to blocked driveways (133 complaints) and even blocked fire hydrants (61 complaints), which poses a significant safety hazard. The street is frequently filled with abandoned vehicles (103 complaints) and derelict cars (46 complaints), further exacerbating the parking woes and creating an eyesore. The illegal dumping of trash (37 complaints) adds to the visual blight and potential health issues.
Noise pollution is another pressing concern, with residents dealing with loud music and parties (185 complaints) as well as loud talking (37 complaints) on both residential and street/sidewalk levels (145 and 106 complaints respectively). This persistent noise disrupts the peace and tranquility that one might expect from a residential street. The street conditions themselves are also a source of frustration, with potholes (55 complaints) and other poor street conditions (75 complaints) making daily life more difficult for residents. The nearby streets, such as South Conduit Avenue and Belt Parkway, also share a poor grade, indicating that the issues on 135 Avenue are not isolated but part of a broader pattern in the area.
The crime rate on 135 Avenue is another cause for concern, with 15 felonies, 23 misdemeanors, and 9 violations reported. The top offenses include harassment (9 incidents), vehicle and traffic laws (9 incidents), and assault (8 incidents), indicating a need for increased vigilance and perhaps additional police presence to ensure the safety of residents. Despite these challenges, the neighborhood is not without its positives, with nearby streets like 135 Road and Meadow Drive receiving better grades, suggesting that with concerted effort and investment, the situation on 135 Avenue can improve.
