You shook me all night long

Complaints for after-hours construction work skyrocketed 870 percent between 2001 and 2006, according to data obtained by The Post.

Spurred on by the construction boom and the ease of using the 311 system, complaints rose from 635 in 2001 to 6,160 in 2006. At the same time, the number of violations written by city inspectors increased only from 59 in 2001 to 249 last year.

BUILDING 'BOOM'
