Given the proximity to the Coney Island Beach and the New York Aquarium, it's no surprise that loud music and parties are common sources of noise, with 11 specific complaints.

However, it's not all grim on Riegelmann Boardwalk. Despite the challenges, the street benefits from its location, offering easy access to the beach and the aquarium.

The presence of the aquarium also offers a cultural and educational resource that could potentially attract more visitors and enhance the street's appeal.
