Neighborhood summary

Living on Balfour Street in Staten Island is generally pleasant, reflected in its high grade of 94.3, but residents do face specific challenges, particularly during winter and with parking. When snow falls, it's not uncommon for plows to track snow into driveways, a persistent issue that has been reported seven times, blocking access to residents' homes. Illegal parking is another recurrent problem, with three reports of vehicles parked in restricted areas or violating posted signs. Twice, neighbors have pointed out that license plates were missing from illegally parked vehicles, making it difficult for authorities to identify the offenders.

Despite these issues, Balfour Street is noticeably quieter and safer than nearby streets. The lack of crime reports—with no felonies, misdemeanors, or violations recorded—makes it an appealing place to live, especially for families. However, the contrast with the nearby Sand Lane and Piave Avenue, which have significantly lower grades of F, highlights the importance of community involvement in maintaining and improving the quality of life on Balfour Street. While the street might not be perfect, the active engagement of residents in reporting and addressing specific issues has helped to keep it well-maintained and safe.
