One of the most common complaints is related to snow and ice management, with residents reporting snow tracking on the street and sidewalks, indicating that snow removal could be more efficient. Cones and other obstructions blocking the way are also a repeated issue, posing potential hazards for pedestrians and vehicles alike. The noise levels on Van Cortlandt Avenue can be quite high, with loud music or parties disrupting the peace, particularly at night. Additionally, the illegal conversion of residential buildings into other uses, such as unauthorized hotel rooms, has been a persistent problem, raising concerns about safety and zoning violations.

Other notable issues include illegally parked vehicles, abandonment of vehicles, and even the illegal use of a fire hydrant, which can block access for emergency vehicles. The presence of abandoned vehicles and litter, such as compost, further contribute to the visual and aesthetic decline of the street.
