Jackson Heights Life

yes! thank you for posting the link.  my complaint is submitted, and we have a flyer in our building encouraging others. Thanks!

This time has been different, the noise went on till very late Saturday, overnight and, so far, it's happening very early Sunday (4am, 6am).

Lodged another complaint this morning and wrote to Cuomo. Will write to Schumer and Gillibrand.

jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs.  We're going to concrete the world in the name of "jobs".  I think the more compelling argument is that there is a huge demand for having the airport right where it is, just like the article in the other airport thread stated.  Even the nicest airport in the world (and I've seen and enjoyed a few that might qualify myself) is still an airport.

I chose to live in Jackson Heights, and the recent change in noise sucks, but the pattern has been fairly consistent over the past 15 years.  The airport was here long before most of us, and was put where it was put for a reason.  Sometimes convenience comes with some inconvenience.

That being said, I agree with filing complaints anytime/everytime the traffic changes affect your eardrums.  There may not be an adequate solution to this problem, but we don't want those in the regulating jobs to forget that we are part of the story.

when we bought our first place here, in 1996, our broker worked for a realty in the strip next to Waldbaum's. with that as our base for looking, we saw and heard just how low and loud planes could be. we asked about regularity/annoyance, and she gave us a thumbnail look at how often we could expect it -- while acknowledging it could be horrible at times.
my current place, the second i've lived in since 96, is on 35th in the mid 70s. the planes bank directly above our block and can be deafening. been sick all weekend, so the situation was particularly annoying this weekend. does it make me think twice about living here? no. has it dissuaded the four or five friends i've had move here from brooklyn/manhattan? no.  different strokes, i guess.

The planes were very loud this morning flying over 74/35th, I rarely hear it on 80/35th where I also live. I met a lady in JuJu's this morning-she is not on this board but she is very adamant with getting this taken care of, I believe she has submitted hundreds of letters to councilman/senators but to no avail...

It doesn't bother me that much, granted I wake up early regardless plus my summer home is near JFK's flight paths so I can't win but I will sign the complaint too. It seems that most of the planes this morning were business jets..

We're starting to notice the plane noise more and more now.  Started filing complaints on the port authority website.  We live on the 6th floor of a building on 72nd and 34th - very bad plane noise.  Too early and too late too!  Last night the noise was till 2:30am, not loud but still annoying. 

We lived on 82nd and 37th before and it's definitely less noticeable there.  Does anyone else have this issue and want to file some sort of petition? 

Thanks.
