Neighborhood summary

Living on Saxon Avenue in Staten Island offers a mix of peaceful residential living with some persistent community issues. The street, with a high grade of A, is known for its low crime rate, with no reported felonies, misdemeanors, or violations. However, residents have been vocal about several recurring problems that affect their quality of life.

One of the most significant issues is noise pollution, predominantly caused by vehicles blasting loud music, often accompanied by horns or revving engines. Residents have reported incidents of car or truck music, with license plates clearly visible, indicating that the noise is not random but persistent. Additionally, loud music or parties have been reported, further disrupting the otherwise quiet neighborhood. The noise is not limited to vehicles; street and sidewalk activity has also been identified as a source of disturbance.

Another pressing concern is the state of the water system and fire hydrants. Residents have reported leaks, defective hydrants, and even blocked fire hydrants. These issues not only inconvenience residents but also pose potential safety hazards, especially during emergencies. Snow and ice removal have also been topics of complaint, with snow tracking and street flooding reported during winter months.

Derelict vehicles, both abandoned and in disrepair, are another eyesore and safety concern on Saxon Avenue. These vehicles can create obstacles for emergency services, block parking spots, and contribute to an overall sense of disorder in the neighborhood. Some residents have also expressed frustration with illegal fireworks, which can be dangerous and disruptive, particularly for families with young children or pets.

Despite these challenges, Saxon Avenue remains a desirable place to live, with a strong sense of community and a high standard of living, as reflected in its A grade. The nearby streets, while not as highly rated on average, still maintain a relatively safe and quiet environment, with Ferndale Avenue being the notable exception with a grade of D.
