Why Was a Helicopter Flying Over the 70’s in Bay Ridge Today?
Ridgites were sharing photos of police cars in the area and helicopters over the 70’s in Bay Ridge this afternoon.
Someone even posted the flight path of the helicopter:
The Citizen App said that the police were chasing two guys on a dirt bike. I’ll update if I find anything that confirms this.
No politicians offered any explanation about what is going on because we don’t have any that are connected to the community.

April 9, 2026Were Shots Fired on 93rd Street in Bay Ridge?
Someone reported to the police that shots were fired on 93rd Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge this afternoon.
The address provided on the Citizen App 354 – 93rd Street is the apartment building down the block from the former Prince Hotel site.
The 68th Precinct police officers would be able to tell the community if shots were fired because we have ShotSpotter in our area. But we don’t have a community officer to share that information.
NYC Council representative Santosuosso may be on materity leave, but someone should be providing updates from her office.
Senator Gounardes was busy filming and posting another goofy video instead of updating the community. From the video:
At a recent Community Board 10 meeting, neighbors from 93rd Street asked for help because there are reoccurring problems on this block near the “transient hotel” (the term they used at the meeting).
93rd Street neighbors, when you see this reach out to me on Facebook or Insta.

April 9, 2026Bay Ridge Library Has Free Notary Services
The Bay Ridge Branch of the Brooklyn Library at 7223 Ridge Blvd has free notary services. You have to reserve your spot here:

You can get three documents notarized each day! This is the first time I have seen the library offer a notary.
If you happen to see this when the library isn’t open, I use the notary at Bay Ridge Pharmacy at 6910 – 3rd Avenue. Just go to the back – she works behind the pharmacy counter and she is very nice!
Bay Ridge also has a traveling notary named Jaime, who makes house calls nightly ! $30 is what it takes to get her to ride her bike to your house and then the usual $2 per signature! 6:30 – 9:00 PM weekdays, flexible weekends. Contact her here:

April 9, 2026Little Girl Hit By a Car In Sunset Park
Last night around 12:10 am, a 3-year-old girl was outside with her mother on 50th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue in Sunset Park.
The little girl ran between two cars and into the street. She was hit by a car. The girl is was brought to the hospital and is in critical condition.
The 43-year-old driver remained on the scene. There was a woman and two children in the car with him. They all must be in shock as no one would expect a child to run out at that time. News here: https://shorturl.at/eepwu
Please pray that this little girl will be alright. I’m praying for the driver as well.
