Neighborhood summary

Living on East 78th Street in Brooklyn can be quite challenging, as indicated by its failing grade and the high volume of complaints from residents.

This problem is often exacerbated by illegal parking, with 25 complaints, and abandoned or derelict vehicles, with a combined total of 17 complaints.

This can make it difficult for residents to enjoy their homes, especially at night. The noise complaints, coupled with the frequent power outages (5 reported), can create an uncomfortable living environment. Additionally, several residents have reported issues with blocked fire hydrants (6 complaints), which poses a serious safety concern in case of a fire. The lack of street sweeping, with 8 complaints, further adds to the unsanitary and unsightly conditions of the street. These issues, combined with the recurring problems with the water system (11 complaints) and heat/hot water (11 complaints), suggest that living on East 78th Street can be both uncomfortable and unsafe at times.
