Residents here have expressed significant concerns about water-related issues, with lead kit requests being the most prevalent, totaling five. This suggests a potential problem with lead pipes or fixtures in the housing stock, which can have serious health implications, especially for children.

These leaks not only waste water but also contribute to the overall poor street condition, with potholes and clogged catch basins also being reported.

Noise pollution, while not as frequent as water issues, is still a notable problem.

Additionally, residents have reported unsanitary conditions, with pests such as rodents or insects being a persistent problem, as indicated by three complaints.

Despite these challenges, the crime rate on De Kalb Avenue is relatively low, with only one felony reported. The most common offense was grand larceny, which can range from theft to burglary. While this may not paint a complete picture of the neighborhood's safety, it does suggest that crime is not a major issue for residents. However, it is important for residents to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect their property. In comparison to nearby streets such as Hart Street (Grade F) and Willoughby Avenue (Grade F), which have significantly lower grades, De Kalb Avenue's grade of C might be considered somewhat better. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement to ensure a safer and more comfortable living environment for the residents of De Kalb Avenue.
