68th Precinct and 311 Calls

 

 

 

Last night Community Board 10 met and they discussed some local issues – see here.

 

One thing really stood out as a problem to me and I see this as a reoccurring issue. Residents are reporting problems to 311 and the calls aren’t being handled by the precinct.  We have a new captain at the 68th Precinct, but there has been no change.

 

 

 

 

Community Board 10 said that there were 115 noise calls to 311 about one local establishment in Bay Ridge. Sometimes there were multiple calls per evening. At some point the 68th Precinct needs to put that place on notice and have an officer stop in regularly to ticket the place if it isn’t in compliance.

 

 

 

 

There is a disconnect between the community and the police. And it’s not on the resident’s side. Laws aren’t being enforced for many things……except parking – there are way to many ticket agents in the area – we need law enforcement agents!

 

What’s worse is that Community Board 10 didn’t know about this situation and they described it as it going “under the radar.”

 

We have a Community Affairs Officer who didn’t seem to have any answers at the meeting (see here). Why didn’t the Community Affairs officer bring up this establishment to Community Board 10. Why hasn’t this Community Affairs officer met with the neighbors of the establishment and made a plan for them, so that the owners of the business are respecting their neighbors?   Community Board 10 shouldn’t have to work this hard if the 68th Precinct was supporting the community.   I have seen this officer not be professional – we need a new community affairs officer. 

 

 

 

 

Do we have to start a cheesy petition in Bay Ridge to get some help?   I can tell you there are very few people in Bay Ridge who wouldn’t sign the petition.  We want to be able to count on the police when we call 911 or 311.  Residents are angry and if we are reporting what we see (as we have been asked to do), we need the NYPD to respond.
