Description
Another Saturday night, another night that Stephen Starr catering is entirely blocking Juniper St. with illegally parked vehicles. Right now there is a white Starr Events truck, a white van, and a metallic beige SUV with a horse trailer hitched to it all parked completely blocking the street. IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY, RESCUE VEHICLES COULD NOT REACH OUR BUILDING! I called the police at 6:00 PM then again at 8:00 PM, and still nobody has showed up to ticket/tow them.
This is a recurring problem. Starr Events continually blocks all street access to our building. Ambulances and fire trucks could not reach us. Residents cannot get to our building with their vehicles to move in or out, Taxis cannot drop people off at the door late at night for their safety.
If anybody dares to complain to them directly the Starr employees either completely ignore them, are frequently rude and yell at them, and I have even heard them threaten people with physical violence.
And on top of all that there is no soundproofing of the venue, so every time they have an event music and their obnoxious announce/DJ can be heard even across the street on the tenth floor with the windows closed.
This has to stop!

Also, there is a sign at the front of Latimer clearly stating there is no parking in that street and it is a tow zone.
Yet, when authorities do finally show up, the vehicles are only ticketed 50% or less of the time, and no vehicle is ever towed. Most of the time, the authorities are actually apologetic to the owners of the illegally parked vehicles (Starr Events and their vendors and clients) and ask them to move. So they back out, the cop leaves, and the vehicle that was illegally parked drives around the block and illegally parks right where it was before.
1324 Locust St., The Arts Condo, where this nuisance business is located, has a loading zone designated on Locust that runs the entire length of the front of their building. THAT is where Starr Events should be parking and unloading instead of illegally parking in the middle of Juniper and blocking street access to 247 S Juniper St. and the 1300 block of Latimer St.
