Neighborhood summary

Living on Cambridge Avenue in Staten Island presents a unique blend of challenges and a sense of community. The street's overall grade of B suggests that while it's not without its issues, it's generally a satisfactory place to live. However, the top complaints paint a picture of infrastructure struggles and environmental concerns.

One of the most pressing issues is the state of the water system and fire hydrants. Residents have reported four instances of hydrant leaks, which not only waste water but also pose a potential safety hazard. Blocked fire hydrants are another concern, with one such report, which could hinder firefighting efforts in case of an emergency. The street condition and root or sewer issues also frequently make it onto the list of grievances, indicating that the infrastructure may be in need of significant repairs.

Illegal parking is another challenge that residents face, with posted parking sign violations being reported. This could suggest a lack of sufficient parking spaces or residents not adhering to parking regulations. Furthermore, there are concerns about illegal dumping, overgrown trees and branches, and even snow tracking, indicating a need for better waste management and maintenance services.

Despite these challenges, the street's crime rate is relatively low, with only one felony and one misdemeanor reported in the area. This suggests that while there may be some infrastructure and environmental issues to address, the street remains a relatively safe place to live. Surrounded by streets with high grades like Thurston Street, Canterbury Avenue, Holgate Street, and Nina Avenue, residents of Cambridge Avenue have the advantage of a strong community with better-rated streets nearby.
