Constant Car Alarm Archived

73 St Pauls Place Brooklyn, NY - City Council District 40

On average, the same car alarm with a distinct horn honking sound goes off 1-2 nights a week, repeatedly for up to an hour. The alarm will silence for less than 30 seconds before starting up again. I have noticed this for the past 6 months at least, usually between the hours of 3-5am. Next time I will physically go outside and find the license plate number of the vehicle.

  Hi Katalin,
  I called your landlord again and she said they would address the problem! I also called Councilman Eugene's office to ask them to follow up. Please continue to call 311 for the public record.

Lane of Traffic on Coney Island Avenue Constantly Blocked Open

730 Coney Island Avenue Brooklyn, NY - City Council District 40

Along the west side of Coney Island Avenue from Caton and on south, auto-body and car wash shops park cars and stand signs in one of the traffic lanes. This causes a dangerous mix of backed up traffic and drivers trying to maneuver around these hazards. This is an ongoing issue that causes problems for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

  This gives the appearance of impropriety. Not to say that anyone is taking money, but it gives the appearance that someone is. For public agencies, the appearance of impropriety is as bad as actually taking money, in that it erodes the confidence of the public.
  
  Why is this allowed to continue????

Excessive Garbage on MTA Property Open

70 E. 18th St Brooklyn, NY 11226 - City Council District 40

The small triangle area of land behind the Church Ave entrance to the subway station is extremely littered and seems to not be receiving regular cleaning. This is a major eyesore.

There is a woman who illegaly resides at 36 Crooke Avenue an is steailng shopping carts and chaining them to buidlings. I've contacted the building manager who stated, "She does not listen to me or police when asked to remove the carts from the building." The community is requesting the police ensure that this woman removes the chained shopping carts and does not chain anymore. She should be charged for theft.

Graffiti eyesore Open

370 East 17th Street Brooklyn, NY - City Council District 40

The wall of the laundromat is covered in ugly, angry graffiti, causing an eyesore and sense of neglect on the block. It is generally thought that the owner of the building has done the graffiti; regardless, is there anything we can do?

  Thank you for contacting Brooklyn Community Board 14. The first step to report an unwanted graffiti is to call 311. You could also go to http://www.nyc.gov/html/cau/html/graffiti/faq.shtml#notice to get familiar with a whole process.

Obstructed sidewalk Archived

23 Newkirk Plaza Brooklyn, NY - City Council District 40

At the Newkirk Plaza overpass, by the Foster Avenue bus stop between E. 16th Street and Marlboro Road, on the South side of Foster Avenue just West of the bus stop waiting area, there are several mature trees, on the property South of the fence, that are arching over the fence, with the heavily laden branches at the top of the trees touching/landing on the sidewalk area where a tree pit might be located. They create an arch way under which people can walk. They are also leaning on and pulling down the telephone wires of a nearby telephone poll. The private property cannot be seen from the sidewalk.

  The City of New York prunes public street trees. If this tree is located on private property, the maintenance is the property owner's responsibility. If the tree is causing damage to telephone lines or encroaching upon public sidewalk space, please provide us with the street address where the tree is located and we will submit a maintenance request to the proper agency. Thank you, Brooklyn Community Board 14

  From the street, the tree appears to have fallen from the rear of the last property on the north side of the dead end 'Irvington Place' (house # ?).
  
  The owners of that home possibly have no idea it may take down telephone and utility cables, or that it has even fallen?
