Loud sex is ruining New Yorkers lives after the city’s non-emergency hotline received 270 complaints over the past year – including reports of ‘backyard orgies’, ‘loud ruthless sex,’ and one person moaning that her significant other is a ‘sexual-tyrannosaurus.’
The Big Apple is one of the liveliest cities in the country, as 75,000 noise complaints are filed on average per month – but new data received from the city’s 311 official helpline bemoans the sounds of people’s late night ventures between February 19, 2021, and February 9, 2022.
Throughout the city’s five boroughs, Queens has logged in the most complaints, with 103. Manhattan came in second with 66 while Brooklyn received 55, the Bronx 48 and Staten Island four.
‘Listen I am a Christian woman, help this girl stop having loud sex before God does,’ one woman in distress living in the Bronx told 311 in a 6 a.m. complaint this January.
In Cross Bay Boulevard, in Queens, 56 complaints were filed regarding ‘hippies’ allegedly dressing up as Freddy Krueger, Pennywise and the Easter Bunny while partying to the theme song of Velveteen Dream, a pro wrestler, being loudly played in the background.
‘Orgy going on in the backyard, boobs and penis’ being flashed on the street,’ a Queens resident complained at 1 a.m. in June of last year.
‘O to the R to the G to the Y. Put it all together and you get a orgy party,’ another complaint read. ‘Come on down they are letting the booties hit the floor and watching broke back mountain. They are screaming cowabunga and orgy! I guess they got horny during hibernation. Stop these sex feens!’
One Bronx residents complained that his neighbors were having ‘loud and ruthless sex’ in the middle of the afternoon, while a Manhattan resident said there was a ‘sex T party’ going on in the apartment next to him. A ‘T party’ is gay slang for crystal meth ‘T’ or ‘Tina.’
‘There is an obese gay man splashing his Latino lovers cheeks with his man syrup,’ a wordsmith from Brooklyn told the city’s hotline in August well after midnight.
The data, first collected by Patch through a Freedom of Information Act request before being shared with the Dailymail.com, comes from a majority of New Yorkers who claim that some residents are taking the ‘city that never sleep’ slogan too seriously.
‘This apartment always have loud moaning from the female occupant while having intercourses. Hard for a lonely neighbor to get a good night sleep,’ a desperate Queens resident wrote one night at around 4 a.m.
One resident in Brooklyn told the 311 hotline that they couldn’t access their apartment due to the frequency of an orgy happening in the building’s staircase
One Brooklyn resident was sleep deprived to the point where he lost his job because he overslept too often due to neighbors having sex well into most nights, according to a 311 complaint. Another Brooklynite wrote that it was inevitable to come across eight or night people having an orgy in his apartment complex’s staircase while trying to access his unit.
‘I’ve slept through earthquakes and fires in my life but I couldn’t sleep through this,’ a shocked resident wrote.
A person living in Queens told 311 that a neighbor was ‘shouting loudly that he is a sexual-tyrannosaurus.’
‘Please make him stop,’ the complained cried.
While all complaints are being investigated, records show almost no actions were taken against those doing their funny business.
Most complaints were described as ‘unfounded,’ ‘unnecessary’ or without any criminal involvement. Seventeen were labelled as ‘unable to enter,’ two as ‘gone on arrival’ and three were passed on to another agency, but 311 records don’t reveal which. Three other complaints were tagged as ‘other’ without more specifics.
In Greenwood Heights, another Brooklynite said that they normally sleep profoundly but that their neighbor’s late night activities were now giving them insomnia.
‘To get a sense of how disruptive they are, I’ve slept through earthquakes and fires in my life … I couldn’t sleep through this,’ according to the complaint filed last April, at 2.45am.
Someone else reported: ‘[She] makes the bed squeak as if it’s an Olympics event.’
Another said: ‘Ceiling shaking and debris falling sex.’
The complaints have been about ‘loud ruthless sex’ noises coming from all five of New York City boroughs. Pictured: A couple kissing behind a street performer in Washington Square Park on August 28, 2021 in New York City
Other complaints reveled that New Yorkers have been unintentionally aware of bedroom stories aligned with current events.
On 23 December at 11pm of last year, a resident in East Harlem, in Manhattan, said in her complaint that: ‘Some guy is singing jingle balls at the top of his voice … Another person is screaming [‘Y]es daddy come down my chimney.’
In March, when the Biden administration gave out Covid-19 stimulus checks as part of the American Rescue Plan, one Bronx resident complained at 12:45am: ‘Loud banging and moaning. Heard the neighbor saying, ‘How’s this STIMMY baby!’
In a statement over the findings, a New York police spokesperson, Sophia Mason, said the New York Police Department (NYPD took all complaints with serious consideration.
‘[We] will continue to monitor and address all complaints,’ she said.
