The Wrong End of the 66th Precinct?

The Wrong End of the 66th Precinct?

A few neighbors have been complaining about the lack of enforcement of parking regulations on the Kensington side of Coney Island Avenue, and are starting to wonder if it might be due to us being the far eastern border. We'll contact the precinct to follow up, but here is a summary, as one of them puts it:

The auto shops between Cortelyou and Avenue C continually park and repair cars on the sidewalk.  The meters are always broken and filled with unlicensed and unregistered cars.  The No Standing zone outside of 740 CIA near Cortelyou is filled every afternoon and often with double and triple parked cars.  All this creates a traffic nightmare and presents a danger to pedestrians, many of them seniors, trying to get to the supermarket. Police efforts in response to earlier complaints have been non-existent.  Does any of this have to do with the fact that we are at the wrong end of the 66 precinct?
