The Wrong End of the 66th Precinct?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

A few neighbors have been complaining about the lack of enforcement of parking regulations on the Kensington side of Coney Island Avenue, and are starting to wonder if it might be due to us being the far eastern border. We’ll contact the precinct to follow up, but here is a summary, as one of them puts it:

The auto shops between Cortelyou and Avenue C continually park and repair cars on the sidewalk.  The meters are always broken and filled with unlicensed and unregistered cars.  The No Standing zone outside of 740 CIA near Cortelyou is filled every afternoon and often with double and triple parked cars.  All this creates a traffic nightmare and presents a danger to pedestrians, many of them seniors, trying to get to the supermarket. Police efforts in response to earlier complaints have been non-existent.  Does any of this have to do with the fact that we are at the wrong end of the 66 precinct?

      The 66th doesn’t enforce anything down here. We’re lawless, like the high seas.

      Anyone ever seen a patrol car or a cop on foot in our area? Any time?

      I agree with the commenters and the post. I’ve lived on E7 bet Cortelyou and Ditmas and have rarely seen cops except for the school police. I never drive CIA to Cortelyou if I’m going south. . .

      CIA is the wild, wild west. No enforcement whatsoever. And another thing! (Imagine an index finger held high, wagging with indignation.) I’m tired of moving my car side to side when the streetsweepers never pay a visit to Slocum Place. I can’t imagine the snow clearing situation in the winter…this will be my first winter in DP, so I guess I’ll find out soon enough!

      As a follow-up to above post, 66th Precinct Deputy Inspector John Sprague said last night that the precinct has since checked out 740 CIA. A confirming email from someone there says it “towed 3 vehicles and issued approx 11 summ in the area.”

      ALRIGHT THEN….i have rarely felt so fired up as i have the moment i heard that the susan g. komen breast cancer charity had made some politically-motivated back-room board deal/manipulation to pull funding from planned parenthood.  and then listened to them spin spin spin during the vertigo-inspiring fall-out.  but most people, it turns out, have […]
    • Corporate Pepper February 3, 2012
      I stepped out this morning and discovered the white foam perishables container on my step. Already -they've arrived. I hadn't informed the Sunset produce representative who contacted me that I had blogged about the episode after I lodged a complaint that their peppers tasted like mothballs. Poor form? Maybe, so I won't be able to relay our exa […]

      He used to walk up my block when I was a kid. He was a short man maybe in his 50’s. He had black hair, a moustache and thick “Buddy Holly” style glasses. Sam usually wore a brown overcoat in the winter and a sports jacket in the summer. He could always be seen wearing a brown or black derby too. Now Sam also walked with a cane, except most of the time it was […]

    • Eating Peppers Temporarily Mothballed January 29, 2012
      Two weeks ago I was shopping at Fairway. I needed red peppers for a recipe I was making that night, but Fairway didn't have any. Hmm, well I was off to Court Street to pick up something else, so I stopped into the Italian grocery and they had this incredible deal on just the kind of pepper I was looking for. If you can believe it, I bought the last two […]
    • How Warm Has It Been? January 28, 2012
      I sit in our dutiful van, rocking, nose running, both due to the brisk wind coming from the southwest that brings in the damp coolness of the ocean. We feel cold under it, but the plants don't seem to mind. Sunny and in the forties, today became an opportunity for my midwinter visit to the beach farm. Last year around this time the beach farm was covere […]
