Living on Hessler Avenue in Queens, particularly the stretch between Beach 69 and Beach 72 Streets, is an experience marked by a mix of persistent issues and occasional moments of respite. The street's low quality-of-life score of 56.3, or 'F' grade, reflects the daily challenges residents face.
One of the most pressing concerns is the reliable heat and hot water supply in apartment buildings. Residents have reported 17 complaints, often affecting entire buildings, with some apartments having no access to these essential services. Additionally, derelict vehicles litter the street, with 10 complaints specifying vehicles with license plates and 3 without, contributing to the overall blight. These abandoned vehicles also pose a safety risk, as they can obstruct driveways and block fire hydrants, issues that have been reported on the street. The noise from loud music and parties, along with disturbances like banging or pounding, further disrupt the peace, with residents registering 4 noise complaints and 2 specific mentions of loud music or parties.
Parking is another significant challenge. Residents have reported 10 complaints about illegally parked vehicles and 3 instances of blocked driveways. The street's condition, with potholes and roadway issues, adds to the driving difficulties. Despite these problems, snow and ice clearance seem to be handled adequately, with only one complaint in this category.
The crime rate on Hessler Avenue is relatively low, with 2 felonies, 1 misdemeanor, and 2 violations reported. However, the most common offense is harassment, with 2 incidents, followed by miscellaneous penal law violations and a single assault. The nearby streets offer a stark contrast in terms of quality of life, with Gouverneur Avenue sharing a similar 'F' grade, while Beach 71 and 72 Streets boast 'A' grades, indicating a significant disparity in living conditions within close proximity.
