Thursday, April 10th, 2025When Community Board 10’s Police and Public Safety Wants to Talk About Liquor Licenses Instead of Public Safety!
Since the home invasion in Dyker Heights this week and the Squatters on 73rd Street, I have been thinking about why people in our community aren’t getting the help they need. The Community Board is supposed to serve as an arm to assist residents and to receive communication. It’s failing on both points. Communication from […]

The residents on 73rd Street dealt with squatters at 95 – 73rd Street for over two years! Here’s what the home looked like before the fire: We drove over to this block between Colonial and Narrows Avenue to see what type of block it is. It’s a pretty block – it’s not just a nice […]
Tuesday, April 8th, 2025Brownfield Cleanup Proposed for 21 Million Dollar Property at 88th Street and 5th Avenue

Years ago, some people in our community chose 88th Street and 5th Avenue as a location for another school. This is the Santander Bank location – across the street […]

Saturday, April 5th, 2025While Rape Increases in the 68th Precinct, the Local Papers Want to Talk About Nonsense
There have been six rapes in three months in the 68th Precinct. No one is pointing to the Crime statistics this week and saying crime is down. Senator Andrew Gounardes and Councilman Justin Brannan are too busy writing about Trump on social media, rather than updating the community on whether the rapists have been caught?! […]
