February 5, 2014- By Steven E. Greer, MD

Pat Smith, local Battery Park City (BPC) resident since 2003, spoke before the February 4th CB1 board representing an unofficial group of homeowners calling themselves the BPC Homeowners Coalition.

A city hotline got more than 260,000 noise complaints last year. Silence, it seems, is the one thing in this city of more than 8 million that’s almost impossible to find, despite a major crackdown on excessive noise. One of the lesser-known legacies of the recently ended 12-year tenure of Mayor Michael Bloomberg was one of the nation’s toughest noise codes.
