Homeless Man on 4th Avenue and 95th Street
A homeless slept on 4th Avenue and 95th Street. He probably felt safe because St. Pat’s is there.
This is also directly across the street from the pet store that closed due to the changes in the quality of life in Brooklyn. (News) The owner saw a lot more than many of us see because the R train exit is there.

Bay Ridge, The Adhan Will Be Played On Friday Afternoon and During Ramadan
Bells have been ringing at Christian churches for years. Many people like them, some people don’t.
Today, Mayor Adams said that Muslims will be allowed to play The Adhan (Call to Prayer) on Friday afternoons between 12:30 and 1:30 pm on speakers at “a reasonable standard.”
What does the Muslim prayer call sound like?
What is being said in the Adhan (announcement)?
Mosques will also be able to play The Adhan, during the month of Ramadan, which takes place from March 3, 2024 to April 19, 2024. The sound can only be used after 9:00 am.
Some people are bothered that prayers will be said over a loud speaker. Some are bothered that during Ramadan, prayers will be said several times a day over a loud speaker. On August 24th, Mark Stewart the Deputy Commissioner issued these guidelines.
a) Fajr prayer – early morning *No Adhan at this time because NYC said it can only start after 9:00 am
b) Dhur prayer around 1:00 pm
c) Asr prayer – around 5:00 pm
d) Maghrib prayer – these are the evening prayers at sunset
e) Isha prayer late evening – 8:00 or 9:00 pm
“The NYPD Community Affairs Bureau and local Muslim leaders will work with mosques across the city to communicate the new rules and ensure that any speakers used to broadcast the call to prayer will be set to the proper volume and follow the city’s noise code.” (Source)
In different areas across the United States, the Muslim Prayer Call is now being heard. (News)
In the Spring, a community in Astoria, Queens applied for a permit to have the Prayer Call played in Queens. The people were happy to hear the sound:

Councilman Justin Brannan did not stand with the Mayor to deliver this news. That is not good!

This is going to be a *big change* for people who live near a mosque in NYC.
On Fridays and during Ramadan, some people may need to close their windows if they don’t want to hear the Adhan.
Like the church bells, when it starts everyone will hear it, but eventually the sound blends into the sounds of the city and people don’t hear it.

Man Shot in Dyker Heights This Afternoon
A 28-year-old man in Dyker Heights was slashed in the chest and shot in the (hip or leg) today around 4:45 pm today. The man got in his Porsche and drove to Bay Ridge Avenue and 12th Avenue. (News)
The man was taken to Maimonides Hospital and he is expected to recover.
Many people shared videos to let neighbors know about the closed street and the police activity in the area. (See videos)
“Police are looking for two male perps who fled in a grey Honda Accord.” (Source: Loudlabs NYC)
People were worried because this incident happened near PS 176.
Loudlabs wrote that the man may have been shot on 7th Avenue and 71st Street and then drove his Porsche to this location. You can see the man’s shirt and shoes in Loudlabs’ video. (Here)
Assemblyman Lester Chang immediately shared information to let everyone know what was going on in the area:
Helicopters were searching over the area for a long time, but no one has been arrested.
Justin Brannan did not go to the area. Brannan said the man was shot, but did not say he was slashed. Brannan also didn’t say that this incident happened in our community on 7th Avenue and 71st Street – he represents that area (so it isn’t elsewhere.)
Senator Iwen Chu did not write anything about this shooting on Twitter or Facebook. What was the motive for the stabbing/shooting?
Senator Chu hasn’t been responsive to crime in the area. Update: On August 30th, Senator Chu did not share anything. I don’t think she knows it is her district.
When Foridun Maulonou, the 15-year-old student, was killed in July, Senator Chu did not share any information until the next day…and even then she wrote about the senior center, not the students.
