The 5 Noisiest Brooklyn Neighborhoods
4. North Slope/Fort Greene
Yes, I knew Park Slope would wind up here sooner than later! Zip code 11217 filed 1,252 noise complaints in 2012.
Possible Causes: Uh, there’s that arena, for one, though that just opened. There’s also a major traffic intersection, a major mass-transit hub, a major mall, plus the bars of Fifth Avenue north of Union Street. The Fort Greene part of the zip code also includes the BAM Cultural District, including all those bars and restaurants. Where there are people, there’s noise; where there are people at night, there’re noise complaints. [photo]
