Across the city, 311 and 911 calls about fireworks have exploded compared to calls about the illegal pyrotechnics this time last year.

From January 1st to June 21st, there have been 11,535 calls to 311 about fireworks, NYPD spokesperson Mary Frances O'Donnell said. Last year over the same time period, there were 54. About 40 percent of all those calls were in Brooklyn between June 1st and 21st.

New Yorkers have dialed 911 13,315 times this year for fireworks, compared to 1,007 calls during the same time period in 2019. 12,578 of those calls were this month.

A map since June 1st shows the rise of fireworks complaints in recent weeks:

To put it in perspective, fireworks complaints are 426 times higher than the same period in 2019.

Late Monday, a cohort of protesting drivers showed up at Mayor Bill de Blasio's home Gracie Mansion honking their horns and demanding a crackdown on the illegal pyrotechnics.

"We need to a send a message that we need to end these chaotic fireworks that's been happening across the city," Councilmember Chaim Deutsch said in a video on Twitter. "So if we can't sleep, Mr. Mayor, you won't sleep."

A de Blasio spokesperson, Freddi Goldstein, said on Twitter the city will be announcing a "multi-agency crackdown on illegal fireworks suppliers" Tuesday morning—which the mayor just described as a task force to target supplies, distributors and those possessing "large quantities of illegal fireworks."

The task force, which will has 10 officers from the NYPD's Intelligence Bureau, 12 FDNY Fire Marshals, and 20 members from the Sheriff's Bureau, will conduct investigations and sting operations in and around NYC to "disrupt supply chains."

Another 150 deputies and 100 criminal investigators will be out Tuesday night for the enforcement efforts.

Sheriff Joseph Fucito said enforcement will be done similarly to other types of contraband coming from out of state—such as tobacco or firearms.

"We wanna look out of state at the people that are making profit off of selling fireworks, causing us grief," Fucito said. "Shutting down the network is one of the best ways that we can stop the flow of contraband into the city."

Teams will go to other jurisdictions to gather evidence and stop the flow of the pyrotechnics into NYC, with possible legal actions if necessary, Fucito said.

"We wanna go after the big fish," de Blasio added. "Within the city, again, we're going to start from the biggest operations, not focused on the kid on the corner."

The Fire Department will also embark on a public safety campaign, which will include public service announcements and reminders on social media, focused on the dangers of illegal fireworks.

De Blasio wants community organizations to be involved to the extent they can—like the Cure Violence movement—though he acknowledged the city is asking a lot of Cure Violence amid a rise in shootings in NYC.

"I definitely wanna see the Vulcan Society involved. I definitely wanna see community-based organizations involved. And I definitely wanna see the Cure Violence movement involved," de Blasio said. "We're going to be doing all of the above. But I think the crucial piece here is engaging families to understand they need to take as much responsibility as humanly possible with their kids, and I say that as a parent. Engaging community-based organizations deeply, absolutely. Public information and then the enforcement that goes at the root cause."

The NYPD conducted a controlled detonation of confiscated illegal fireworks at Rodman's Neck in The Bronx on Monday, but that apparently started a brush fire that had to be put out by the FDNY and Nassau County marine units.
