Neighborhood summary
Living on West 138th Street in Manhattan is a challenging experience, as indicated by the official city grade of F and a score of 0. Residents here face a myriad of issues, with illegal parking being the most prevalent problem, with nearly 100 complaints logged. This leads to a constant struggle for parking spaces and often results in vehicles blocking hydrants, a serious safety concern in case of fire emergencies. The street is also plagued by noise pollution, with both street and residential noise complaints totaling over 40. Residents have to endure loud music and parties, as well as persistent banging or pounding, which can make quiet enjoyment of their homes difficult.
The street's infrastructure also presents significant challenges. Damaged trees and branches falling down pose potential hazards, while the condition of the sidewalks and curbs often leaves much to be desired. Snow and ice buildup during winter can further exacerbate these issues, creating unsafe walking conditions. Additionally, abandoned vehicles and wood piles left behind contribute to the street's unsightly appearance and may harbor vermin, further compounding the quality of life for residents. The high crime rate, with over 50 offenses including petit larceny, harassment, assault, and grand larceny, also adds to the overall sense of unease and insecurity in the area.
