According to the New York City Noise Code, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the 6th Precinct, we do not have to tolerate our current situation. Our best defense, at this time, is to call 311 and report the disturbances.
The complaints will be logged and sent to our local precinct as a non-emergency. As these calls are labeled a non-emergency, we cannot expect the police to remedy the situations immediately. What we can expect is that these complaints are brought to the attention of the necessary and various city agencies.
To file a noise complaint via 311 is not complicated. We have prepared a walk through to make things easier, in case you haven't called 311 before.
