The most prominent issue residents face is illegal parking, with a total of 8 complaints, indicating a persistent problem with cars parked inappropriately or blocking driveways, which also received 7 complaints. This can make it difficult for residents to park their own vehicles or access their driveways, as evidenced by 5 reports of 'No Access' and 2 of 'Partial Access'.

The condition of the sidewalks is another significant concern, with 8 complaints and 8 violations. This likely means that sidewalks are damaged, uneven, or lack proper maintenance, posing potential tripping hazards and making it difficult for residents, especially the elderly or those with mobility issues, to navigate the street safely. The street conditions themselves were also a source of frustration for residents, with 6 complaints, suggesting the presence of potholes, cracks, or other road damage.

Residents have also reported noise disturbances, with 5 complaints in total. Notably, 4 of these were related to construction noise occurring before or after permitted hours, indicating a persistent issue with contractors not adhering to noise regulations.
