Living on De Costa Avenue in Queens is a challenge due to the numerous complaints and issues plaguing the street, as reflected by its low grade of F (score: 42.0). The most pressing concern is the rampant illegal parking, with a staggering 25 complaints, often leading to blocked driveways, sidewalks, and even fire hydrants, which can be life-threatening in case of a fire. Abandoned and derelict vehicles also pose a significant issue, with 14 and 6 complaints respectively, contributing to the unsanitary condition of the street and potentially blocking access for emergency services. The noise levels are another major challenge, with 10 complaints of residential noise and 6 instances of loud music or parties, which can be disruptive to residents' daily lives and sleep.

The street conditions also leave much to be desired, with 5 complaints of street conditions, potholes, and blocked sidewalks. Additionally, there are frequent issues with heating, hot water, and plumbing, with 7 and 5 complaints respectively. The presence of pests and illegal dumping, both with 4 complaints each, further exacerbate the unsanitary conditions and pose health risks to the residents. Despite the numerous issues, it's encouraging to note that crime is not a significant problem on De Costa Avenue, with no felonies, misdemeanors, or violations reported. However, the nearby streets of Bayfield Avenue and Elizabeth Avenue also have a grade of F, indicating that the problems on De Costa Avenue are not isolated and may extend to the surrounding area.
