After arena paid fine for noise violation, Barclays Center concert noise still penetrating residences; Rihanna said to be as loud as Swedish House Mafia/Sensation

Though last week an affiliate of arena developer Forest City Ratner paid a $3200 fine for excess noise from a Swedish House Mafia concert (after previous complaints about noise from Sensation and Jay-Z concerts), the Barclays Center has apparently not fixed the problem.

Atlantic Yards Watch cites two 311 complaints and seven phone calls/texts regarding last night's Rihanna concert:
ā€œRihanna is as loud as SHM or Sensations!!ā€
ā€œAre you f****** kidding me, why canā€™t the police do something?ā€
ā€œYIKES!! Why are they starting so late?ā€
ā€œIt woke us up!ā€
ā€œGuess they havenā€™t done anything to minimize the noise!ā€
ā€œPassed midnight and theyā€™re still going, when will it end?ā€
ā€œWhy are these noisy types of concerts allowed on a Sunday nights?ā€
Rihanna's second concert will be tomorrow night, just in time for the Atlantic Yards Quality of Life meeting.
