Hi,
I realize most people work outside their homes during the day, but thought I'd see if there were any fellow work-at-homes or work-at night people out there on 30th street being driven out of their minds by the 10 hour a day air compressor in the gutter at 355 w. 30th.
We're all for building housing for the "formerly homeless" however, we now cannot work or sleep in our apartment when we need to, and have spent the last few weeks unsuccessfully looking for rentals elsewhere...we all know how easy it is to find decent housing in NYC. The air compressor sounds like a helicopter hovering outside our window, and unlike a jackhammer, it NEVER STOPS. I've read on the housing website that construction's expected to take 18 months.
One day they had it inside, behind the facade of the building they're constructing, and the sound issue was much better. For the last several days it's been out on the street, uncovered, unsheltered, and just obnoxiously, ridiculously loud.
Any ideas of who to contact to get them to move this thing off the street, or cover it, or muffle it somehow? I know 311 does noise complaints, but figured someone on CYB might know of a more direct approach. Don't know if they're outside of their rights, and don't want to stop the progress, however, we need our home, too.
Any ideas?
