The dog was taken from a bus stop 5/31/26 around 8:30pm. She lives on 78th Street and Penelope Ave. A couple took Lexi and drove off in a black tinted Escalade. A reunion was held two days later.
Last night after 10pm a noise complaint was made to NYPD 104th Precinct. The responding officer, who arrived around 10:30pm, told the complainant, "They will be done soon, it’s a party and part of their culture." The music continued until after midnight when officers responded to another 311 complaint and finally issued a summons. This is unacceptable. This is not culture, it's NOISE and it's illegal. Last Thursday at our meeting, we were informed by the precinct that they had a plan to address noise this summer, but it seems the plan is to protect perps and allow everyone else's quality of life to be ruined.
When the officers first responded, it looks like it may have been before the hours a noise ordinance takes effect. Second call, a summons was issued more than likely because the sound ordinance was now in place. Check the times of both calls. Granted, he may have been wrong by saying it’s their culture, but it does appear at the time of the first call, laws were not broken no matter how frustrating it is for those having to live and deal with it.
Culture is not a defense under the law.
And the summer has only officially started today!!!
Welcome to New York 
Maybe the Cop new the family?
Around the corner from me, people were partying in a garage about Ecuador in the world cup. They had a long green hose hooked up to fire hydrant for water access
This is UNACCEPTABLE! Respect your neighbors! Living around people requires consideration for others. This is the problem nowadays in society, there’s clearly none! No consideration! Your neighbors have babies, some people work weekends, care for elderly relatives or maybe they simply want peace and quiet in their own homes!
Call ice
People now have no respect, cause the police let them
If it happens again.... angle the largest speakers you own at their yard and play bagpipes on repeat. See how they like it. 🏴 🇮🇪
Unbelievable
Infuriating
I live in H B. The same thing has been happening for 6 years to me. The cops won’t issue her a summons. Her brother was a cop who died of 911 illness. As soon has she sees the police car in front of her house, she runs and gets her police t-shirt and small badge. They give her a pass. We wish we had backup!
This is typical of the 104 responses
Had that happen about 2 yrs ago. A different type of wedding was going on till 3am. Woke me up at 1 called the precinct from my back porch and the desk sergeant couldn’t hear me. He said if I didn’t call they would have never got shut down. Mind you this was 5 blocks from my house
What about OUR CULTURE? Our culture is quiet. That cop made it quite clear that THEIR CULTURE takes precedence over our American culture. So who does this cop serve? Foreign culture or the American taxpayers who pay his salary? Are we supposed to give up our culture because they decided to import theirs and totally disregard our American way of life? This is North America, not South America. If they don’t want to assimilate and respect the American way of life, then what are they doing here? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Maybe the police behavior defending these crimes dressed as „culture” should be discussed with the precinct that dispatches the police officers defending the „culture”. In fact, there is a community affairs meeting coming up on 6/25 at 7 pm at the 104th Precinct. People should massively show up and address this issue. Pictures can’t be posted in this thread but there is a flyer going around with the meeting details. Meeting Notice: “The Community Council meets once every month. Anyone is welcome to attend the meetings. We provide community updates and crime stat reports. Guests are invited to address any concerns with Commanding Officer Captain Joshua Rios.”
What about the rules that the park is CLOSED 9PM. That’s part of our culture.
Vote this year is a huge vote, Governor That’s where it counts! Make it ‘right’
For whatever the reason quality of life issues are extremely low on their priority list
where is this ?
Well my culture is I sleep at 10 to work in the AM to be a productive citizen of the USA
Music is noise it’s a nuisance and should not be tolerated , it ruins QOL and is disrespectful to your neighbors. Police need to shut it down first try
I am surprised they came. Years ago we had a neighbor playing music in the middle of the night. The cop who answered the phone said we can come there and tell them to lower the music ut as soon as we leave they will put the music louder to get back at you for calling.
I was once told by an officer who responded to my noise complaint that "if you don't like the loud music coming from this restaurant you can move out, because they are a business and can do whatever they want"
Out of curiosity, which culture?
When you drop mail off at the post office and it goes missing, it doesn't mean "someone inside the post office is stealing it." The mail goes through the postal system and is dropped off in relay boxes for postal carriers near the letter's final destination. It could be stolen from these boxes regardless of whether or not you bypass dropping it in the blue box.
The thieves have the keys to the drop boxes. And the post office knows it. I was told by a mail carrier it’s an inside job because as soon as the change the locks the thieves have the new key. The police caught to Asians driving an expensive Audi suv stealing from a drop box by  crematory Hill a couple of years ago. Never found out what happened to those two guys and the police turned them over to the postal police who took credit for catching them and they did nothing. It was the cops from the 104 that caught after being tipped off by someone who lived there and saw them tampering with the dropbox.
Not sure about Middle Village but All of Maspeth's drop boxes have digital keys now...Impossible to clone
I always drop mail off inside an actual post office, these days..
This all started with the election ballots cast in 2016 and mail in ballots. After that Louis Dejoy was put in charge of the post office. It will never get better. Dejoy may be gone but he was a tool. Project 2025 at work.
Good information for people to understand. However, mail theft has been rampant and unrelenting, unchecked, unchallenged in our community for the last 15 to 20 years until recently when we sounded the alarm. Why did it take our politicians and elected leaders to even lift an eyebrow until now? That is completely unacceptable and reprehensible, and that’s on them. Lack of City, State, and Federal leadership has been hurting us for decades in many other criminal and quality of life matters. Why are we electing such useless people to our leadership posts?
Keeping fingers crossed that this is not serious.
