Bad neighbours!
I've spoken to them, I've tried to be reasonable - but their smoke alarm goes off once in the morning, and three times every night. Garbage everywhere, and there is probably four families living in a legal 2 family at best.
Who do I complain to - any advice or experiences?
Thanks

Soil - free to a good home!
Had to remove some good soil from my back yard. It's bagged up and free to a good home (about 12 bags), just email me and I will give you the address in Windsor Terrace for pick up only.

What do you recommend from Papa John's? I haven't got that menu - only Domino's

Don't fly anymore in or out of New York - then the planes will be less full by one and therefore less noisy

How about building a new airport out over the ocean - then when you land you can get a boat to Manhattan or Red Hook and then continue your journey from there?

Looks like a good bar to me - will definitely give it a try.
Is it me or is this website becoming more and more depressing - without any of the above even trying this new bar they are already complaining about the description of its 'location', the food, the logo, etc etc.
Why don't you all either support someone trying something new or just piss off to the suburbs.

ifss- and the only solution is to make it another neighborhood's problem. that's what rerouting will do, and while yuo may not care, the rest of us do. Its a fact of modern day life.
And I speak from experience- I live under a flight path now, and also growing up in the Bronx.(We also lived above the rail yards, a circumstance known in my family as "the Great Congruence." We dealt with it. You'd be surprised at how well people can cope. You seem to think planes are like cars, "but it's easier for them to go at an angle over dense residential so they were taking the short cut."
But I am sure you want airports conveniently located, and access to flights when you need them, because as we all know sitting in the airport for hours is not fun. So complaining about the noise begs the question- what's the solution? rerouting is no answer because there are many reasons why it is difficult if not impossible. And again, rerouting just makes it someone else's problem. Maybe we should just stop all flights and raze the airports? Become Luddites?

Bxgirl: that's exactly what it is, or as someone else said, Not In My Air Space. Here in Bay Ridge I live about a quarter mile from the (IIRC) R-221 approach vector to LGA. But winds aloft often bring those planes directly over me. I just tell myself it could be worse. I could live in Howard Beach.
I also have the NYPD heliport three blocks away so I have very loud Bell 412s under full power zooming about 150 feet over my house after they refuel. Fortunately, I dig helicopters.

Whahhh....Whahhhh!
"Ed Towns' office is very interested in where planes fly" "I've called the one on Court St about a couple of different issues over the years and found them very responsive."
God help the poor people who work in that office!
If you can't take the noise of living in the city. Quit whining and move.
Ridiculous!

"Hello"
"Hi, I'm calling about the noise that the planes overhead make."
"Yes?"
"Is there anything that Ed can do about this?"

I can't help myself...
I'm just so curious as to what the other "couple of different issues" were that Ed Towns' office had to assist you with.
Do tell...

I think this post was a joke and you all bit. Otherwise this person is a complete presumptuous boob, what next, the traffic and buses? the garbage trucks? close all the bars and restaurants at 8pm? This is fucking NYC, it took us centuries to get rid of those damn crickets.

Go to any public meeting of a community board and you'll hear at least one person griping about aircraft noise so, no, I don't think it was a troll. Hell, they even gripe about loud fish down here in Bay Ridge:

Most people seem to miss the point here. No one is asking that the planes fly over other neighborhoods. The people who are fighting this, for example, http://AirTrafficParkSlope.org, make the point that this INCREASE in air traffic is a result of the FAA redesign of the air space that took effect July 31, 2008. You may have noticed that since that date, 85% of the traffic into LGA is flying over Park Slope. Before this date, the air traffic was fairly rotated over WestChester and Rockland counties as well as Connecticut and Long Island. This increased air traffic has been redirected down from activist communities in these communities. Senator Dodd of Connecticut has threatened to cut the FAA funding over complaints from his constituents. Would that Senators Schumer or Clinton be so inclined. In any case, if you want to help fight this, sign the petition at http://AirTrafficParkSlope.org and/or contact them to help fight for a more fair rotation pattern.
