Uptown in Brief: Washington Heights – NYC’s 311 Calling Champion

Photo Credit: Briana E. Heard

According to city data, Washington Heights residents have called 311 the most since the program started in 2005, complaining of things like heating, noise and construction. (And we’re guessing dog poop.) Some complaints seem normal; mother Reina Martin has called 15 times to complain about lack of heat and water in her building. However, other complaints have the city’s younsters coming off as incredibly unhip. Older residents say all the newcomers do is complain about people blasting salsa music and loud trucks rolling down the streets. Well yeah, they need to do their yoga in peace!
