6h agoIllegal parking complaints in Brooklyn have skyrocketed since 2019, according to a new report from New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
The report, released alongside a new online tool that maps 311 calls by neighborhood, shows that Brooklyn is home to some of the city’s worst problem areas.
Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene saw the steepest rise in illegal parking complaints, jumping more than 400%, from 2019 to 2024.
Park Slope and Carroll Gardens weren’t far behind, with complaints rising nearly 300% over the same period.
In East New York and Cypress Hills, complaints about abandoned vehicles surged by more than 1,770% — from just 553 in 2019 to more than 10,000 last year.
Citywide, 311 received more than 3.4 million service requests in 2024, a 7% increase from the year before, according to the report.
Illegal parking topped the list with more than half a million complaints, followed by noise and heat-related issues.
The Comptroller’s new “NYC311 Monitoring Tool” allows users to track neighborhood-level complaints and trends by category.
“This tool gives New Yorkers and policymakers a clearer view of where problems are concentrated,” DiNapoli said in a statement.
“It’s about helping the city respond where help is most needed.”
The tool is available on the State Comptroller’s website and will be updated regularly with the latest city data.
