April 6, 2023Heads Up Dyker Heights – National Grid Doesn’t Just Show Up Asking for Access to Your Home…Update: EXCEPT WHEN THEY DO
April 7th Update: Brannan spoke to National Grid and it was there workers.

Natonal Grid has to do a lot better than this – the employees can’t be asking for access when robberies are on the rise in our community.

A good neighbor shared that these two men came to his house in Dyker Heights said they were from National Grid and needed access.
If there is a actual emergency, the utility company will be accompanied by NYPD.
As the weather gets warmer, more door-to-door salesmen come around in Bay Ridge. Don’t open your door to people that you don’t know. Open the window and yell out to them – it’s how things were done in Brooklyn for many years.
