      Call the police. And 311. And any other official you can think of. Write to Bloomberg's office. Write to your city council member. Complain. I am so sick of them acting as if they are above the law.

      On second thought, why not rent a jackhammer and use it right outside Bruce Ratner's house at 2AM? That would probably be more effective.

      That Carmina Burana video is really funny....my classical-singer son sang it in a concert not long ago and got REALLY into it....powerful movement!

      I heard the pile drivers way over here on Prospect Place, so it was pretty loud. We need to document this every time, since we're going to live with construction noise for the next 25 years.

      In addition to 311, there are a couple places to report problems:

      I knew to expect the noise because Norman Oder wrote about it before it happened here:

      Raul, Norman, anyone else knowledgable on this board - are they ALLOWED to do this after-hours? If so, why are the owners and managers of this project above the laws that govern the rest of us? And is there any way to change this?

      yes, they are allowed to do this, and in some cases, are compelled to do this by the DOT so as not to disrupt traffic during the day.

      Wait till the stadium is finished . You'll have hundreds of drunk fans littering the streets with beer bottles & piss at 12 am on a week night. You'll wish the jack hammers were back. Joy!

      Why attack God? He may be as miserable as we are.

      Who wrought wraith?

      Wratner

      For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
