I’ve lived in the 24th precinct for near 40 years. Are we assuming that non-violent crime should be completely ignored (even though non-violent crime can become violent, for example if someone/something is hurt by the fireworks). I hear it right now. Please keep up the good work; the city gov’t may not want to hear about it, but we do. Maybe they can help us.

I have had car accidents, cars stolen, reported vandalism, reported muggings.

It’s only mid June, this a legitimate change from last year. The fireworks between 100 and 105 are a huge disturbance problem – they are rampant now and go past 10pm with huge cherry bomb explosions and loud sequences that sound like guns. Called 311 around 12:30AM. I’m in the low 70’s and I’ve been hearing it every night.

The NYPD will not make arrests around Frederick Douglas Houses unless perhaps they see a murder in progress. 2 months and counting without a restful nights sleep. I myself have called 911!

Similar pattern: very loud cherry bomb type booms lasting till at least 2 a.m.

My neighbors proceeded to play loud music and shoot off fireworks until 4am. The reporter needs to be in the area between 10PM and 4AM. You might even be better in a unmarked cars. When I was a kid, merrily experimenting with demolition, it was pretty hard to get hold of fireworks and we saved most of ours for the 4th.

Helen Rosenthal will do absolutely nothing…she is to busy being Woke. 1. Whether you like sparklers, fountains, or bottle rockets, you're probably wondering if you can light fireworks in your backyard. Exactly what I was thinking… it’s being paid for and orchestrated….. Haha.

I can imagine there are a number of possible conclusions but it would be more effective if the message were clear… without widely communicated specifics, the result is just a bunch of people complaining about sleep. Bring back the BROKEN WINDOWS theory of policing. They were being set off in front of residential bldgs near Morningside Park at 12:30 AM last night (as has been the case nightly for the last several weeks).

Do not allow children to use fireworks without adult supervision.

I live in the 90s and have seen the fireworks every night for the last week, from about 10pm to 1am.

Are the same people setting them off daily or is it something that everyone will eventually take part in?

Guess what!

Then you can dial 911, 311, or any police number. Sure it is illegal and probably annoying but it is cheap entertainment for people in the projects who are probably more stressed out regarding money and food than the average WSR commenter. After 20 years here, it’s obvious people are more brazen & do not fear the consequences.

Right over the border via rt.78 there are two gigantic fireworks stores.

Be loud and be proud to exist! Pointless to call 911 because, according to this board, police will not respond. Bombs that are exploding back to back to back between the hours of 10pm and 3:30 am every night.

It’s what we deserve. Last night was the worst night so far. Where are these fireworks coming from? Yes, it is easy for you to describe it as “cheap entertainment” when you don’t hear it. This area is pretty much owned by Univ of Chicago and it’s where President Obama used to live. claims that they need to catch the perpetrator in action, but they don’t even show up when calls of distress, fear, panic, frustration, and pandemonium are taking place.

Much worse up here on 135th street. Where exactly are they coming from and who the hell has the amount of money and storage space to keep this going nightly? Where can you move to? Since it is know approximately where the fireworks are being set off, why can’t the police patrol or have a presence in those specific areas?

This is patently false. Because it went on for so long I ruled out bombs! DISCLAIMER Fireworks can be dangerous if they are not used safely. This fireworks problem is another example of what happens when you have bonehead leadership making decisions in a lunatic city administration. This has been going on for years, and we’ve been told more than once that DR would rather eat the cost than hire security.

Require them to live in the neighborhoods they serve for their first five years of service.

Bombs that are shaking windows when they explode and echoing throughout the ally ways and the backyards of our buildings… These sound like BOMBS.

NYPD Commissioner Shea, bowing to librul pressure, is DOING AWAY with the Anti-Crime units. Are we assuming that police cannot show up and issue warnings and/or tickets? And on Tuesday night I was able to see those doing it — and they were NOT kids but grown men. We’ve been hearing these very powerful blasts night after night for about a week, apparently coming from Douglass Houses. We have a police department focused on some crimes and not on others. There’s a certain point when it crosses over from nuisance to criminal harassment and we’re way beyond that point too. I love that people on this page are blaming lack of enforcement of fireworks on the demonstrations!! “In Brooklyn, a sharp divide has opened between residents aggravated by the noise and threatening to call authorities and others who cautioning that could lead to the type of dangerous police action they’ve just spent weeks protesting against,” NBC reported. And the cyclists, oh God the cyclists who wake up every morning wanting to run you down. So DR finally came through with a security guard and nothing was done because the guy stealing the snacks looked bold and brazen? Instead of complaining and making dumb ass comments, why don’t you group together and go to your local officials and make them do the job they get paid six figures yearly to do. Change is difficult.

One problem with getting people to stop shooting them off in the middle of the night is that an officer would have to see a firework being shot to take action. Did you hear the round that started last night at 4:15?! It’s so loud we cannot even talk at dinner.

Do you know how many times the police came out and wrote a report on any of those incidents?

I’m in the vacinity of 109th/110th – it is dangerous, and not just fireworks! That’s what #BLM demonstrations are fundamentally about–the systemic racism and the lack of justice in the criminal justice system–the fact that Black Lives Matter too! My dog is terrified and shaking, her poor little heart pounding, when those fireworks go off, This is not a question of “non-violent crime.” It’s not “4th of July stuff.” It’s animal cruelty. If you don’t like fireworks future hopeful NYC mayor Eric Adams has an idea: Class C fireworks (the kind that Zort’s sells) do not need to be supervised.

They have been going off around 104th and manhattan acenue for the last week. By googling, I think I solved one mystery – since the manufacturers won’t be selling most of their fireworks for big shows, they are unloading them at deep discounts. This is in Hyde Park area, so for that reason, I don’t think it’s the cops. The criminals run nyc now. “As someone who gets woken up by them and needs to plan dog walks in the evening for my anxious dog around them, I can confirm there are more of them and they are far more sophisticated than last year,” wrote Charlotte Morrison, who took the photo above from 100th and Columbus. Buckle up because it’s going to be a noisy few weeks, just be patient and it’ll be over soon. It is also potentially dangerous. So you’re saying that people losing sleep, children and pets being scared to death, fires and injuries, not to mention a homeless man being caught on fire – all of this is “wonderful” and a “statement of freedom”!? In most counties and unincorporated areas, it is legal to shoot fireworks. Some were well dressed.

It was defiant and was unsettling walking past him as he had an angry look.

Do whoever is setting off those rockets hate animals? Cannot wait for the midnight show. Ironically, no police are coming to deal with this anyway. Bklyn borough pres Eric Adams has an interesting idea on the fireworks problem.

I agree with the comment below that just some police cars roaming around would likely have an effect in prevention. I grew up on 106th with drag racing and Rob Bass It Takes Two blasting out of Saab’s and BMW’s all night. Why are there helicopters over Morningside park at 118th tonight 6/19 at 10:25??? The comments here are unbelievable. Last night it went on past 4am. I think the WSR really needs to devote some reporting to this, demanding answers from Helen Rosenthal, 24th Precinct, etc on enforcement…. Sounds plausible from someone that could be our next mayor….GOD HELP NYC. The person behind at least some of the fireworks is Daniel Kolenda, who quickly took credit. I have been living on the upper west side for over 50 years and this has been the worst year. I find it hard to believe that we cant figure out who is setting off fireworks, repeatedly, at length, night after night, in a 5 block radius. Find a decent candidate for Mayor who is firm but fair with everyone. https://nypost.com/2020/06/21/brooklyn-bp-eric-adams-urges-community-not-to-call-911-for-fireworks/. From a box someone placed in the intersection of 87th and Columbus Ave, someone shot off massive fireworks which created loud booms and could easily have shot into an apartment window.

Anybody know what’s going on? Ridiculous. I feel sorry for kids, pets, and the elderly. Fireworks enforcement provides the opportunity for the police to prove that they can resolve problems while respecting human rights.

For all those who are proponents of defunding the police, take a glimpse into what you’re going to get. Last night they started at 5pm and went late into the night. Last night 6/19 at 89thst Columbus Ave was terrible at about 12:30 midnight then again at 3:30am.

I tried to file on 311 and that system tells you to call 911 for fireworks activity. This crazy war noise just popped out of nowhere for no reason, really annoying! They just went off.
