The most prominent complaint is illegal parking, with a staggering 461 reports, making it nearly impossible for residents to find parking spaces or navigate the street safely.

This issue is compounded by blocked hydrants (207 reports), a serious safety hazard that could hinder firefighting efforts in case of an emergency. Additionally, the street is often left in a dirty condition (40 reports), with trash (51 reports) and blocked sidewalks (40 reports) making it difficult for residents to maintain a clean and healthy living environment. The proximity to other poorly graded streets, such as 60th Street and 11th Avenue, further exacerbates these issues. The high crime rate on the street, with 29 felonies, 25 misdemeanors, and 5 violations reported, also adds to the sense of unease among residents, with petit larceny, dangerous drugs, and assaults being the most common offenses.
