Living on Coombs Street in Queens, where the grade B designation reflects a score of 88.3, presents a mix of experiences, with some challenges outweighing the quiet, crime-free atmosphere. The most prominent issue residents grapple with is illegal parking and the obstruction of driveways, as indicated by the high number of complaints—15 and 7, respectively. Double-parked vehicles blocking traffic or other cars are not uncommon, making daily commutes and simple tasks like parking a car at home an exercise in patience. The issue is exacerbated by derelict vehicles, which, though fewer in number (3 complaints), contribute to the overall parking woes.
Another significant problem is the blocking of fire hydrants, with 7 reported incidents. This not only poses a safety hazard but also increases the risk of property damage in case of a fire. The obstruction of hydrants is likely tied to the illegal parking and derelict vehicles issues, suggesting a lack of respect for basic safety regulations and neighborhood courtesy.
Despite these challenges, Coombs Street enjoys a low crime rate, with no reported felonies, misdemeanors, or violations. However, the nearby streets present a stark contrast in terms of safety and quality of life. While Southgate Plaza shares a similar grade (A), the nearby 136 and 140 Avenues have a failing grade (F), indicating a need for improvement in those areas.
