The most common offense, criminal mischief, suggests that property damage is the primary concern. Surrounding streets have varying grades, with Whiteplains Road, South Oak Drive, and Burke Avenue all receiving an F grade, indicating significant issues that may spill over into Chestnut Street. However, North Chestnut Drive scored an A, suggesting that improvements are possible with community effort and city investment.
