Housing Being Built in Leif Ericson Park
Photo by Amanda
4/16 Update: Several residents shared that the structures have been removed from the park.
Today, some men built a structure at Leif Ericson Park on 65th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue. The structure is to keep four people dry while they sleep. Residents say another group has been in the park for two weeks. (See photo here)
NYC hasn’t done a good job in providing housing for people.
People were upset that the group started a fire (to stay warm) and they reported it to 311. Firefighters came and put out the fire, but the group lit the fire after the firefighters left.
For years, people have been tucked away in different parts of this park seeking safety and sleep.

Bring your problems and your questions to the 68th Precinct on Wednesday, April 17th at 7:00 pm at the Knight of Columbus at 1305 – 86th Street.
Get ready to hear, “CRIME IS DOWN.” It’s not! Look at the TOTAL line – 20 (at the same time last year there was only 14 crimes reported).
