“#NYC firework complaints light up 311 at a shocking rate<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Roman candles aren\u2019t the only thing soaring in this city.<\/p>\n

Complaints of skyrockets are, well, skyrocketing to absurd heights this month, city data showed on Monday, as Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams\u2019 advice to confront pyrotechnic punks rather than call 911 or 311 fell on deafened ears.<\/p>\n

An astounding 8,967 complaints of illegal fireworks were reported to the city\u2019s 311 system from June 1 through Sunday \u2014 more than 320 times the 28 gripes logged in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

Saturday alone saw 2,092 such complaints light up the system \u2014 giving The City That Never Sleeps a perfectly valid excuse.<\/p>\n

The three ZIP codes logging the most complaints during the period were all in central Brooklyn, according to the publicly available data.<\/p>\n

Flatbush\u2019s 11226 ZIP code saw 871 complaints \u2014 more than double any other area \u2014 followed by 336 from Prospect Lefferts Gardens\u2019 11225 and 282 from Crown Heights\u2019 11238.<\/p>\n

Adams, a former NYPD cop, urged constituents at a Sunday press briefing to defuse fireworks situations themselves by talking to neighbors rather than dialing 911 or 311 and introducing \u201cheavy-handed policing.\u201d<\/p>\n

But shell-shocked Brooklynites blasted the suggestion as a dud on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not like hearing gunshots, thank God, but it is a public nuisance, and it is dangerous,\u201d said Winston Powell, 45, of Flatbush.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a reason they\u2019re illegal. And illegal in my book is something that police handle, not civilians. Does [Adams] expect me to patrol my street at 2 in the morning to tell my neighbors to stop setting off fireworks?\u201d<\/p>\n

Such a step, Powell said, could spark a far larger powder keg.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t the safest neighborhood to begin with, and I don\u2019t feel comfortable telling people what to do,\u201d he said. \u201cHow do I know one of them won\u2019t pull a gun on me and tell me to piss off or they\u2019ll blow my brains out?\u201d<\/p>\n

Farah Salomon, 29, also of Flatbush, said Adams\u2019 advice might fly elsewhere, but not in the gritty city.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s the best idea. This is Brooklyn, not Topeka,\u201d Salomon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a neighbor who\u2019s setting off fireworks off their roof and you\u2019re comfortable asking them to stop, go ahead,\u201d Salomon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re not such a tight-knit community that I would feel comfortable walking around a park at night telling kids to stop setting off fireworks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams held firm on Monday, but noted that cops could be part of the solution by cutting off the pyrotechnics pipeline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe uptick in fireworks complaints throughout Brooklyn are disturbing to me, which is why I called for the city to invest in credible messengers like anti-violence groups .\u2009.\u2009. rather than taking a punitive app<\/a>roach,\u201d Adams said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaw enforcement\u2019s role is to find where these incendiary devices are coming from.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
