The street, graded 'F' by the city, is a stark contrast to the nearby A-graded Al Oerter Recreation Center, highlighting the stark disparities within this neighborhood. The most pressing issues for residents are predominantly related to parking and noise disturbances.
Illegal parking is a prevalent issue, with 15 complaints, often leading to street obstructions, which have been reported 12 times.

The noise level is another significant concern, with 10 complaints specifically about street and sidewalk noise, and 4 about residential noise. These are often attributed to loud music or parties, with 17 such incidents reported, suggesting frequent disturbances that could be disrupting the peace and quiet of the neighborhood.
The street's condition is also a source of frustration, with 4 complaints about street conditions and 5 about curb conditions. Additionally, illegal dumping, with 5 complaints, and chronic dumping, reported 3 times, contribute to the street's unsightly appearance.
