Because DOE custodial engineers are required to maintain the premises.

If this is impacting your quality of life, you can contact the school's principal or your community board. Realistically unless you organize or you're very wealthy/well-connected, you're probably SOL.

On the bright side, there's probably only a month or two of leaf-falling season - you can look up the trees on your block to gauge how much longer til the trees finish shedding.

Custodial engineers? Call them what they are, maintenance or janitor.

That is their literal civil service title. I think that’s the most appropriate way to refer to someone’s professional title, but if you disagree that’s cool.

I think it’s disrespectful to actual engineers who worked hard and put the hours into school to gain that title. Last time I checked you only need a HS diploma to be a janitor/ maintenance

I suggest you take that up with DOE and DCAS. I'm pretty sure that title was proposed and accepted by a few agencies on both the city and state level.
