00:15:52.389,00:15:55.389
Pete: The trash after the nightly activities on Canal is horrible

00:17:19.306,00:17:22.306
Pete: Hope Mausoluem picked up 4 bags of trash Sunday AM

00:19:18.341,00:19:21.341
Pete: Saturday night around 11:00 I personally counted over 125 parked cars on and around Canal Street.  All associated w the Hookah place.

00:21:13.268,00:21:16.268
Chad Penedo: i dont feel there is a disconnect with mcsd.  when noise complaints at shell station via vehicles blasting music in parking lot are called in from two blocks away and mcsd actually goes into shell without ending the music.  that is lack of doing their job

00:21:16.444,00:21:19.444
Michelle Bergstedt: I have photos of these drag racing cars blocking our fire lane and hydrants. Now we’re seeing block parties at the Shell Station

00:21:28.069,00:21:31.069
Jordan Neville: I live directly behind Haifa and this place is getting out of control

00:21:47.803,00:21:50.803
Morgan Rohbock: This past weekend was by far the worst for the 4700 block on Canal. It's been slowly building for the past month, but the music from 2-3 am, people without masks crowding around traffic crowding Canal was the worst Saturday night

00:21:48.420,00:21:51.420
Michelle Bergstedt: Haifa REALLY needs security and trash pickup. Closing earlier than 3:00 AM as well

00:21:55.413,00:21:58.413
Pete: 311 is a joke. 

00:22:02.085,00:22:05.085
Jordan Neville: Fights constantly

00:22:12.912,00:22:15.912
Jamie Clark: These issues have been going on for years regarding trash, noise and fighting

00:22:16.215,00:22:19.215
Michelle Bergstedt: BTW the manager lied on the news story. The black GT Mustangs belong to Haifa employees 

00:22:30.300,00:22:33.300
Pete: Been going on for months

00:22:58.943,00:23:01.943
Jordan Neville: My car has been hit and run twice

00:23:06.714,00:23:09.714
Morgan Rohbock: I live nearby and the business was complying and did not have crowds in late June, but it has gotten worse

00:23:08.216,00:23:11.216
Chad Penedo: Haifa has been skirting their licenses for quite some time now.  ATC was involved in 2015 with noise and live music issues

00:23:34.257,00:23:37.257
Morgan Rohbock: It was easy to ignore small things until loud music was blasting from 2-3 am Saturday night

00:23:34.527,00:23:37.527
Michelle Bergstedt: Yes, the fights spill over into private property as well as wake up neighbors as far as 300 feet away. I have security footage of these loud noises until 4:00AM every weekend

00:23:53.279,00:23:56.279
Chad Penedo: 311 rarely gives number

00:24:10.561,00:24:13.561
Jamie Clark: what chad said... ditto about 311

00:24:28.058,00:24:31.058
Morgan Rohbock: @Chad, submit online and call--if you give an email, you will receive a number

00:24:32.595,00:24:35.595
Chad Penedo: JG i have the emails from 2015 if youd like

00:24:53.896,00:24:56.896
Chad Penedo: MCSD has chosen to turn an eye to this place

00:26:03.445,00:26:06.445
Claire Byun: Please feel free to send anything to us via email: Joseph.Giarrusso@nola.gov

00:26:05.740,00:26:08.740

00:26:18.007,00:26:21.007
Jamie Clark: Thank you!

00:26:19.741,00:26:22.741
Chad Penedo: Thanks Joe

00:26:48.878,00:26:51.878
Pete: 11:00 Saturday night there were at least 125 cars parked on and around canal st  How can oyu social distance with that many people in that building?  Impossible

00:26:53.041,00:26:56.041
Michelle Bergstedt: It’s not fair to the businesses that do abide by the laws and ordinances and permits, etc, needless to say actually care about the neighborhood relations. This sets a bad precedent for other businesses.  

00:29:48.169,00:29:51.169
Michelle Bergstedt: Yes, I’d love to do a group for our block. Not sure who our “block captain” is for the block that encompasses Haifa Bar.
