Cona residents are taking action against th

NOISE UPDATE 4.3.2023

by Councilmember Moya's community liaison Ms. Jones, who spoke at a Dorie Miller Housing Shareholders meeting on 3.29.2023.


The Concert noise at Citifield was brought to Moya's office attention in September of 2022. On March of 2023, five months later and after Ms. Jones was submitting the noise complaint to the Mayors office and the Police department, Ms. Jones had no answers, and the best she could tell the shareholders was a typical political lip-service line, quote: "We are looking into what we can best do. We know its a big issue over at Dorie Miller and Meadow Minor".

After Ms. Jones' statement, Shareholders came to the conclusion that again we are getting Lip-service from Moya's office, just like we are getting about the Hinton Park violations and the 11 Homeless shelders in Moys district. 


THE LOUDEST CONCERT IN 2022

5 Bands were cancelled by the Police Department, because they were directly linked to crime and people were arrested.

The noise was heard all the way to 108th street, affecting an entire community in Corona.

The noise came from the

CitiField Parking Lot.

New York Times reports

5 Rappers Dropped From New York Music Festival at Police Request.


Here is a report from a New York Times reporter from 2022, in regards of what artists are booked and the violent background they have. Citifield welcomes musicians and festivals glamorizing and instigate violence.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/22/arts/music/rolling-loud-festival-drill-rappers-removed.html

2019 ... Rappers had “been affiliated with recent acts of violence citywide,” according to a letter sent by an assistant chief at the Police Department to the festival organizers at the time. “The New York City Police Department believes if these individuals are allowed to perform, there will be a higher risk of violence.”

Last Year 2021

In 2021, this concert could be heard all the way at 108 street, the noise started at 10am with the sound checks and lasted on and off during the whole day until 10pm. When I asked a policeman standing at the Armstrong School on 113th street, where we could hear the music blasting, what the police are going to do about the noise, I was told to make a complaint with Citifield.

Here is an audio sample of what the Governors Ball Music Festival at Citifield on June 12th, 2022 sounds like living four blocks away, using a decibel reader  in a bedroom with the window closed and than with the window open.

You won't believe this is actually happening and tolerated by officials who are responsible to protect us.

recorded 4 blocks away from Citifield

Officials don’t give a damn about the Corona residents living around Hinton Park!!! Who are they protecting???

Knowing that the police can’t control the loud music at Hinton park and the noise at Citifield, what options do residents have to protect themselves from this madness and how can they stop the noise affecting thousands of residents.

 How do the residents who are affected by this 3 day long and loudest concert of the year benefitting, what do we get out of it?

 -          what are the legal decibel levels for a concert of this nature

-          who is in charge to monitor the legal noise/decibel levels at Citifield

-          which city agency approved this concert and who can be contacted to make a complaint and will guarantee the sound levels are at a legal level

-          who is the contact person at Citifeld, if residents want to make a complaint

-          do residents have any say in the approval of booking the loudest and most irresponsible of the year concert, affecting thousands of local residents

-          who is responsible to tell the festival producers & Citifield officials to keep the decibel levels at legal level

-          what is the councilmember’s role in this matter

-          can the councilman use legal action against Citifield

-          who will protect the residents from this noise abuse
