I can't believe I'm here leaving a yelp review about a precinct but wow, I'm honestly appalled with…read morehow careless, deceptive, and lazy the officers are here. Community Affairs department might as well not exist - they don't do anything. Why is this being funded if they don't do anything for their community? This department exists to build trust and solve neighborhood problems, but they literally don't do anything (as you can see from the frustrated community themselves leaving reviews below). I'm actually stunned to have caught them in multiple lies stating they "came to check out" a problem that the community has been complaining about over and over - but they blatantly lied and never did and continue to ignore it, despite there being a very serious and obviously illegal problem going on. They'll even ignore you no matter how many times you follow up. This is how bad things happen - through careless actions of NYPD officers such as the ones at this precinct. It's really sad that this is what we're supporting, when they can't even support or help their own community that they're employed to do, when they're in need. I really wish there were actually officers at this precinct that took pride in their jobs, and put effort into making the areas they cover a better place.

After I called 911, the police said just like, even if a complete stranger were to stand outside my window 24 hours a day just staring at my door, it would still be considered lawful simply because it's a public area. No one seems to find this odd -- they all appear to accept it without question. Fine, I get that it's legal. But honestly, I can't help but question their intelligence.

I've lived in NYC for over 40 years and this is the worst NYPD precinct I've ever seen…read more They are horribly understaffed. This neighborhood is relatively quiet, but complaints at night are NEVER resolved, simply because there's only a couple of officers on duty at night. If you have a "quality of life" complaint like a loud party or drunken guys being loud and obnoxious, forget about the police coming to help. A few weeks ago some guy's car alarm started going off at 8pm. I called the police. So did both my neighbors and probably everyone else on the block. None of us got sleep. The alarm was still going at midnight, 3am, 6am, and then finally at 9am the owner came and turned the alarm off. In other words, despite the fact that everyone on the block called the cops, they never showed up. Same thing tonight. A neighbor is having a noisy party at 1am and the 70th Precinct switchboard operator says there are over 20 "jobs" ahead of this. I asked him how long would it take for the cops to come and shut the party down. The guy said "don't hold your breath; probably won't come at all". Utterly useless. Precinct 70, you suck!

We had already signed papers, took pictures everything and she had all of the papers which is all I needed, I asked multiple supervisors and they all said no, tried explaining that I had everything and my mother was RIGHT there with the stuff and we had already been waiting for 3 hours but nooooo they just kept saying no no no no. These people lack hearts and basic human sympathy and don't need to be working customer service jobs. Literally go anywhere else like I actually wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Title: Rude, Unprofessional and inhumane Service for family with newborn…read more We had a 10:15 AM passport appointment on October 30, 2025, for our 6-week-old baby at this USPS (2727 Mermaid Ave, Brooklyn). My husband took the day off, we arrived early in hurricane like weather, and the place was empty. The clerk was unwelcoming and rude from the start. She didn't even greet us. She looked at our baby's photo for a second and said, "It won't work -- the ears aren't visible." When I asked what we could do, she actually said, "Go grow your baby's ears -- your baby is too small for a passport." Our photo was taken professionally and fully meets U.S. Department of State guidelines, which do not require infants' ears to show. It is clearly stated at the Department of State website requirements. Her attitude was rude, dismissive, and completely uncalled for. We left upset and frustrated after doing everything right. USPS needs to train staff in both professionalism and actual passport rules -- no family should be treated this way. Unacceptable service, attitude, I would not recommend this location to anyone.

Swimming is strongly discouraged and downright dangerous. One can easily view the Quester 1 located in the middle of Coney Island Creek from Kaiser Park or Calvert Vaux Park. The Quester 1 makes for great photos for photographers and a well known site for drone operators to snap pics. Great landmark for kayakers to get up and personal as well. It's history is amazing considering it was all home built. More information on this can be found at the Coney Island History Project's webpage. For decades it has been Coney Island's very own"Roadside attraction", with very few even knowing of it's existence. It's free and the hours are 24/7 for viewing. Pet friendly.
