QUEENS · 132 addresses · 3 precincts
Living on 62 Road in Queens, especially at address 132, is a challenging experience, as indicated by its poor grade of F based on official city data. The most prominent issue residents face is noise pollution, with a staggering 230 complaints regarding residential noise. This is likely due to the high number of specific noise complaints, such as loud music or parties (63 complaints), banging or pounding (135 complaints), and even loud television (25 complaints). The constant noise can make it difficult for residents to enjoy their homes, especially during quiet hours.
Another significant challenge is illegal parking, with 160 complaints. This can lead to blocked driveways (126 complaints), blocked hydrants (61 complaints), and even blocked crosswalks (29 complaints), posing safety hazards and inconveniences for residents. The lack of parking discipline also contributes to the street's poor grade, as residents struggle to find available parking spaces for their own vehicles. Additionally, the presence of abandoned and derelict vehicles (20 and 12 complaints respectively) further exacerbates the parking situation and adds to the overall unsightly appearance of the street.
The street conditions also contribute to the poor grade, with 11 complaints regarding street conditions. This could include issues such as potholes, uneven sidewalks, or lack of proper lighting, which can make navigating the street difficult and dangerous. Furthermore, the presence of pests (21 complaints) and unsanitary conditions (33 complaints) indicate that the street may be in need of more regular cleaning and maintenance.
The nearby streets, such as 99 Street, 63 Drive, and 58 Road, also have poor grades, suggesting that the issues affecting 62 Road may not be isolated to just one street. However, the proximity of Horace Harding Playground, which has an A grade, offers a stark contrast and a glimpse of what a well-maintained, safe, and enjoyable environment can look like.
In terms of crime, there have been a total of 34 incidents reported, including 2 felonies, 8 misdemeanors, and 4 violations. The most common offenses are harassment (4 cases), petit larceny (4 cases), and offenses against public administration (1 case), indicating that while the street may not be particularly dangerous, there are still issues that residents and the authorities need to be aware of and address.
