Neighborhood summary

Living on Cornell Street in Staten Island, as indicated by the official city data, is generally pleasant and safe, with a high grade of A (score: 97.9). However, residents have faced several specific challenges that have led to complaints.

One notable issue is the presence of derelict vehicles, which have been reported once. These abandoned or inoperable cars not only mar the street's aesthetic but also potentially block parking spots and could be a safety hazard if they are blocking fire hydrants or crosswalks. Additionally, the street has had issues with street lights, with one complaint about an outage. Although this may not be a frequent occurrence, it can pose a safety risk, especially during nighttime hours.

Residents have also expressed concern about lead, with one request for a lead kit. This could indicate the presence of lead-based paint in older homes, a significant health hazard, particularly for children. Furthermore, there have been complaints about bulky trash and tree branches that have grown over the street, which can create obstacles and potentially cause accidents.

Despite these issues, Cornell Street has a low crime rate, with no reported felonies, misdemeanors, or violations. This makes it a relatively safe place to live compared to nearby streets like Decker Avenue and Lexington Avenue, which have received grades of F due to higher crime rates.
