Serious safety concerns are few in Friedrichshain; potential annoyances are more plentiful. Living in the Simon-Dach Kiez, where loud revelry carries on through the night, can feel like you are living at a party. Light sleepers should not live in front-of-house flats. If you have an especially low tolerance for packs of drunken youths, you may want to think twice about living here. Friedrichshain also has a lot of dog owners, many of them punks possessed of multiple hounds, and residents complain frequently about dog mess on the pavement.
