The noise is not limited to residential buildings; "Noise - Street/Sidewalk" is also a significant concern, with over 300 complaints, likely due to late-night gatherings or unruly behavior in the public spaces.
Housing conditions on Elmhurst Avenue are also a pressing issue. The high number of complaints about "HEAT/HOT WATER" (173) suggests that many residents struggle with maintaining comfortable living temperatures.

The top offenses include vehicular traffic violations (7), assault (6), harassment (4), and grand larceny (3), suggesting a mix of aggressive behavior, property crimes, and traffic-related issues. The high number of traffic-related offenses could be partly due to the illegal parking complaints (83), potentially indicating a chronic problem with vehicles blocking roadways or impeding traffic flow.
The surrounding streets, such as Gleane Street, Forley Street, Hampton Street, Whitney Avenue, and Elbertson Street, also receive poor grades, suggesting that the issues on Elmhurst Avenue are part of a broader pattern in the area.
