Parties/Loud Music on Park Place Between Grand and Classon Aves

Ahh, summer is here. I know that area well, I had a boyfriend live around there. There is another thread about this same topic here:

Oh, cry me a river. If you lived on 6th ave in Manhattan, you'd have to deal with the Halloween parade, and if you lived on 5th, you'd have a whole series of events every year that have people fleeing their much more expensive apartments.

It's one weekend a year, and they have a permit. Get over it.

realty of life is alot of people suck ass they don't care, reasonable people would listen after a legit complaints. other wise you are out of luck no matter what you say they won't care. engaging unreasonable people on their behaviour is useful as telling a serial child molester not to molest.

I say get water balloons and throw them high and don't get caught.

And if you're going to follow this advice, be prepared for an escalation: obtain a bulletproof vest.

yeah umm don't ever do that lol, cause unreasonable people generally would kill you for stupid things. meant as a joke cause unreasonable people can't by definition be reasoned.

1 week a year lol.

Where I was it was at least once every 2 weeks.

And that's not counting the dude with the incredibly loud car stereo who would pull up to the block around 10PM on a work night and do a building shaking sound check for 30 mins.

Lol @ that being "something to deal with". That's not right.

These sound systems are actually illegal to use in your back yard.

Maybe you were kept up till 4 am last night?

If you want to address this quality of life issue as well as more important issues such as safety etc.,

Consider attending a public meeting with the 77th precinct on Monday June 12 @ 7:30pm.

I believe the location is St. Teresa, Sterling Place at Classon Avenue.

You can call the precinct to confirm (718) 735-0611

Seriously, Jenee, you need to get over yourself. When you moved here, I'm guessing you had no interest in the local Caribbean community and the annual parade, that's why you didn't know you were literally moving onto a Labor Day parade float when you moved close to EP. But judging from your previous posts you are one of those deluded transplants that think they can live in an urban area and get the same benefits of suburbia.

Sorry, it's messed up that people blast their stereos loud and I hate it because I have a young child that constantly gets woken up by it, but guess what the difference between me and you is: I actually choose to engage with people on my block and end up going outside and asking them nicely to turn it down a bit, instead of calling the police. Or are you scared of the urbanites? Bwahahaha...

I don't live in Crown Heights, but I am not sure I agree with the sentiments of your response either. I don't think she is denigrating Carribeans, unless you think all Carribeans act that way culturally. We need to separate the wheat from the chaff here.

I live in Sunset Park, and I HAVE TRIED to engage with my neighbors who routinely blast loud Pachata and Spanish music. They have also in the past ruined two of my window gardens by pouring their beer in the pots.

I will tell you honestly the most people who are de-classe and inconsiderate enough to blast music on the weekdays after 10 pm, and or blast music every weekend at late hours, WILL NOT be conscientious or considerate enough to turn it down at the request of their neighbors.

When I tried talking to my ghetto neighbors, they cursed me out and said "move" and or just patently ignored my request. Mind you, these are the same folks I made cookies for in an attempt to make my plea more well received.

I am not the only neighbor whose garden they destroyed. And YES I am calling these people GHETTO. Its NOT a race or ethnicity thing, its a cultural thing. I think much of the HIP HOP/GANGSTA culture is about disrespect to others and ostentatiousness (attention whoring) at the expense of shocking/offending people into looking or noticing you.

PLEASE NOTE HIP HOP/GHETTO CULTURE IS NOT BLACK/LATINO/CARRIBEAN CULTURE. Its a culture of "urban thuginess" that some blacks, west indians, and latino's choose to adpot. Many other blacks and latinos choose not to adopt this pose, but you never hear about them. The musicians connected to the "neo-soul movment" are a perfect example of Blacks who try to live a life of respect and decency.

We shouldnt excuse the bad behavior of a few. This is how "our neighborhoods" get their bad reputations, when so many of us might not be this way at all.

Mind you, these are the same folks I made cookies for in an attempt to make my plea more well received.

Maybe you didn't use the right ingredients?

I attended the meeting, which got sidetracked when a family began shouting at one of the police officers about a violent incident that had happened awhile back, during which they alleged they had been subject to police brutality. It got very contentious.

Afterward, I asked one of the officers what the best recourse was for these types of parties, and sadly, all he said was to call 311 (which as we know never accomplishes anything) or the 77th precinct directly.
