to a new report.
Aft er compiling 311 complaints made
from January 2019 until February 2020,
PropertyClub found that no other street in
New York City had more noise complaints
than Eighth Street in Astoria. In that time,
2,638 calls were made to 311 with complaints
about noise. But it wasn’t just one cacophonous
street in Astoria that got the borough
noticed by PropertyClub – four of the top fi ve
noisiest streets in the city were in Queens.
Th e second loudest street in the city
was Madison Street in Glendale; the third
loudest was Ninth Street in Astoria; and
the fi ft h loudest was First Street, also in
Astoria. Grand Concourse in the Bronx
came in fourth on PropertyClub’s list.
It seems that across the city, nothing is
more infuriating to residents than loud
music and party noises, which make up
the bulk of noise complaints made to 311.
Th is was true on Eighth Street, where
1,824 calls were made about loud music
or party noise from January 2019 to
February 2020. For comparison, only 64
complaints were made about loud televisions
during the same time frame.
A possible explanation for the high volume
of noise complaints made on Eighth
Street and First Street is the high volume
of people who live there. Th e two blocks
border the Astoria Houses, a group of
22 public housing buildings in northwest
Astoria with over 1,000 apartments
between them. Th e street is also a neighbor
to a school bus depot and a handful of
industrial buildings.
Elsewhere on PropertyClub’s list were
several major surprises.
While one might expect Manhattan to
be the noisiest borough, it only accounted
for 10 of the 50 noisiest streets in the
city, according to PropertyClub. Th e loudest
borough, PropertyClub found, was
Brooklyn, where its residents collectively
made 73,744 complaints about noise from
January 2019 to February 2020.
If one is looking for silent serenity, the
data suggests a move to Staten Island,
where things are either very quiet or people
just don’t complain.
