Now that the weather is getting warmer, there are a lot of issues that are surfacing. We diligently called 311 as well as the 77th Precinct regarding the loud music/noise this past Friday. I don't believe it was as effective as we would have liked, but we must continue to call.
Aside from calling, perhaps sending emails to the following people will also help our cause in regards to the quality of life issues that we are currently facing.
Deputy Inspector John Cosgrove @ the 77th precint (email) John.Cosgrove@nypd.org
Kings County District Attorney Charles Hynes (email) HynesC@Brooklynda.org and AdossaS@Brooklynda.org
Errol Louis NY Daily News (email) ErrolLouis@gmail.com (a resident of Crown Heights)
Mayor Michael Bloomberg (email) http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mayor.html
Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz (email) askmarty@brooklynbp.nyc.gov
NY State Senator Karim Camara (email) CamaraK@assembly.state.ny.us
NYC Councilman Albert Vann (email) vann@council.nyc.ny.us (This is an election year for him and I think he will want to be more involved than he has been in previous years.)

To who it may concern,
I am a concerned resident of this community, I would like to adress the BONANZA!! of noise complaints being filed, first of all there is only 1incident too speak of this far.
Secondly,the so called offending party was Never adresses personally. How do you basically formally lodge a allout one person attack with no personal interaction, gosh I know the Internet age is at hand but god darn the least u could do is try to communicate with the people before you go on the rampage and attempt to gather the masses. THE COMMUNITY IS DISGUSTED BY YOUR ACTIONS grow a backbone.
FYI: Bergen street was never dead or in need of rebirthing. You people just want to find a warm way to gentrify this community your futile efforts are noted but check your history that family has been in this community for decades and I doubt that will change.
the truth...this blog was never established so that we could hide behind it. We've had a few meetings thus far and we welcome you to come to the next meeting and voice your opinion because you're certainly entitled to it. "THE COMMUNITY IS DISGUSTED BY YOUR ACTIONS," after speaking and interacting with several members of our community I have to disagree with you. This is not a personal attack; it's about being conscious of your neighbors and having common sense. It was past midnight and the music was as loud as a Brooklyn block party.
We never stated that Bergen Street was dead. It's the rebirth of a block association because the previous one was dead.
We are not trying to gentrify anything. We just want a safe, clean, quiet place to live -- don't you?
I just want to clarify two things the way your so called association adressed the situation was inappropriate. I feel the situation could have been handled differently. Further more You people made this the forum to discuss issues. I'm just following suite so don't call it hiding if you are doing the same thing that's kind of hipocritical yah think? Don't talk to me talk to the resident of 120 Brooklyn who basically has no clue what you people are up to.
I cannot understand how you're a concerned resident of the community when you're defending with the nuisance and not trying to make the community a better environment for everyone especially those with children. You sound really negative when you say you doubt things will change. If everyone unites to create change, it can happen. We're not only trying to make this community a safer and better one for us adults but for our children, can you understand that? I understand it's a friday night and people want to enjoy the weather by listening to loud music but does it have to play at all hours of the night? We must have consideration for those who have to wake up early on a Saturday morning to go to church or to take our children to their games or recitals. For most of us, it's not only Monday through Friday we have to wake up early and go to work, it's 7 days a week. How do you know what we're doing in our home just because it is a Friday night? How about you think out the box, think and act like an adul if you are one.
No one said you're hiding...I made the comment "this blog was never established so that we could hide behind it" in response to your "grow a backbone" comment.
This forum was established to discuss issues as well as to agree and disagree on them.
Our "so-called" association is not meant to alienate the old timers (I'm not referring to age) and the newbies. As a matter of fact, we have people who have lived on the block for more than 20 years and they see the need for a block association because they agree there are concerns and issues that need to be addressed.
As far as talking to the residents of 120 and not to you, you initiated the conversation and I'm merely addressing you.
Anonomous or what ever your name is your name alone is cowardly. The fact that u had to mention age is kinda pathetic. You don't make any sence may be you should think Out Side The Box.
Ps learn a to use spell check.
Somebody has to let you people know how silly & assanine you all look.
To Brooklyn first,
Through our discussion I guess no one has figured out or even considered going to talk to the resident.you people slay me.word to the wise you don't put fires with gasoline.
truth...your point has been taken that perhaps someone should have spoken to them prior to calling 311. The fact is all adults are not rational. I don't believe it would have been a good idea to approach the situation at that time. If adults cannot use their judgement and realize that it's inappropriate to play music at such high decibels, at that time of night, I think that approaching them would have been useless.
We are not trying to put out fires with gasoline. These are legitimate issues.
