Thank you for joining our group!
The residents and people enjoying McCarren Park have enough. No warm day goes by without ice cream trucks circling the park, blasting it with their their loud jingles nonstop from 10 am to 10 pm.

Their noise affects everyone who lives, plays or works here. I spoke to many people walking around in the neighborhood and not one was supportive of the vendors. From people sitting in cafes to people playing tennis and soccer to people living at the edges of the park (in million dollar condos and affordable rental apartments) each one of them complained about the 4 to 5 ignorant vendors that every weekend nonstop “blast” the area with jingles.
Talking to some of the vendors has gotten me a nice “f… off” They make profits here in the park but just show no respect for the people or concerns of the community. They park in the middle of the pedestrian crossings and some have no license (who knows what they are selling to kids?). Our only mission is to shut down their loud tune. The few vendors will still sell ice cream, but the community will be able to enjoy this wonderful park a little bit more and live a little bit more peaceful.


What can you do:
Call the local police precinct 94 on # 718 383 3879 and file an noise report and/or ask they could send a patrol car stop the vendor from playing the music and check their license to sell ice cream

Call 311 and report the ice cream vendors license plate number to the Department of Environmental Protection (It is a noise violation in New York City to play the ice cream music while parked but so far the DEP doesn’t seem to enforce this)

Please always send an email to the group when a truck is spotted. Report the licence plate number so we all can call the precint 94 or 311 to complain.

We have already created some interesting press
