Neighborhood summary

Living on Kelvin Avenue in Staten Island is a unique experience, marked by a balance of challenges and a quiet, safe environment. The street's C grade (70.9) reflects the residents' persistent issues, primarily revolving around parking and maintenance concerns.

Parking is a significant issue on Kelvin Avenue, with illegal parking being the top complaint. Vehicles often park overnight, doubling up, or blocking hydrants, which not only causes traffic congestion but also poses a safety risk, especially during emergencies. Residents have reported instances of double-parked vehicles blocking traffic and license plates being obscured, making it difficult for law enforcement to issue tickets or for neighbors to keep track of who's parking illegally. Additionally, abandoned vehicles further exacerbate the parking problem, with five such vehicles reported in the past.

Maintenance issues are another prominent concern. Trees are often damaged, branches fall, and snow or ice accumulation during winter months can make the street dangerous. The water supply has been reported as problematic, with four instances of water supply issues, including sewer backup. Despite these challenges, the street remains relatively quiet, with only two instances of loud music or parties reported.

Crime rates on Kelvin Avenue are remarkably low, with only one violation reported in the past. This low crime rate, combined with the peaceful atmosphere, makes the street a safe place to live. However, the persistent maintenance and parking issues can be frustrating for residents. In contrast, nearby streets like Ovis Place, Thayer Place, Stone Crest Court, Dent Road, and Midland Road all have A grades, suggesting that they may offer a smoother living experience.
