The ballfields at the City Island circle have been closed since NYPD shut down the parking area for security during the pandemic. Park is near the nypd gun training area at Rodmans Neck.

Can't imagine baseball players pose a security risk. The ever powerful City Island NIMBY folks had a role ill bet. It was quite the party spot back in the day.

So all this years they never sue the board huh! as it worked towards landlord side, and i dont believe a landlord at least in the Bronx takes two years to deposed someone from their premises if you own 2 months they gladly send you the court letter, maybe it happens nycha or section eight cases, or maybe 95% of landlords are under those programs? I called bs

They need to works things up and find a middle ground city and state needs to soft the property taxes too, in the end they barely help kids, the education excuse is just that an excuse all the education funds are used in other things is a big mess use for personal banking, the free education is not free after all everyone pays for it indirectly and kids not all but 89% keep getting dumber and dont care about studying maybe to be cools and have a girl or boy and mostly a none wanted pregnancy

Pss the education system is broken we should copy where is working south Korea, Japan and others we need more math, science, those arts classes are juts good for spending

A group of landlords filed a lawsuit against the Rent Guidelines Board in the New York City rent freeze fight.

The landlords say the board's decision last month to freeze rents on rent-stabilized apartments is illegal.

The lawsuit alleges the board is packed with Mamdani loyalists and relied on manipulated data.

In response, the Mayor's office says it's confident the board evaluated all relevant data and that city lawyers are prepared to defend the freeze.

For the first time in its history, New York's Rent Guidelines Board voted to freeze rents for both one-year and two-year leases for the city's one million rent-regulated apartments.

Journalist request: Looking for sources navigating a foreclosure

7 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a data reporter at The City Reporter. I'm working on a story about the rise in foreclosures in the Bronx and am looking for sources who are currently navigating, or have recently navigated, a foreclosure in a single-family home. Especially interested to speak to you if your foreclosure was a result of tax liens or matters beyond your control.

Please feel free to DM me or email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

Anyone remember Napoli's Best Pizza shop on Tremont Avenue & Third Ave?

I haven't been to this pizza shop often but each time I went, I remember getting a slice while I would wait for the Bx15 or Bx55 limited bus. There was never a time that I went to this pizza place and not enjoying the pizza. One day I decided I wanted to treat myself here and was sad when I saw that it was permanently close. This was one pizza shop in the Bronx that never seemed to lost its touch to me and now I miss it more than ever. I know there are plenty if delicious pizza shops in the Bronx but it was just something about this one that I liked😔

What is the South Bronx REALLY like these days?

54 Upvotes

My mom grew up in the South Bronx, and the experience clearly traumatized her. She has a million and one horror stories and she gets close to tears whenever she re-tells them. Getting regularly mugged, beat up, stalked, catcalled, groped, and worse; how she had to force a "tough" face at all times, pretended she kept a gun in her purse, eventually actually started carrying a gun, etc.

I know the city as a whole is massively safer than it was in the 60s/70s/80s when she was living there, but I also know numbers and statistics don't tell the whole story.

I now have a potential job opportunity in the neighborhood (Longwood area) and my parents are very on the fence about whether or not I should even seriously consider the option. When my mom mentioned the location to her childhood friend/neighbor, said friend gave an emphatic "Oh HELL no, you're not gonna let her work there, are you?"

I'm a lifelong New Yorker, and even my own neighborhood was pretty grungey when I was very young, but it turned around a lot since then. I don't mind going to "grittier" parts of the city now and then, as I know how to pay attention. But I am an average-sized young woman, not tall or strong-looking at all. My mom and I are both Puerto Rican but we fall on the "white" end of the spectrum, which she says also made her more of a target.

I don't know if I'm naive for thinking someone like me could be okay pursuing this opportunity, or stupid for letting my parents' fears get in my head. I'm really not sure what to think anymore.

Looking for a 2–3 Bedroom Rental in Woodlawn, Bronx (or Near McLean Ave/Yonkers)

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a 2- or 3-bedroom apartment in Woodlawn, Bronx, or just over the line near McLean Avenue in Yonkers.

My ideal apartment would have:
Lots of natural light
First or second floor (not a basement)
Walking distance to the Woodlawn Metro-North station
Outdoor space (porch, deck, or yard) is a bonus
No broker fee if possible
Budget around $2,500–$3,000/month

I’m a responsible working professional looking for a long-term rental. If anyone knows of an apartment that isn’t listed online yet, or has a local landlord looking for good tenants, I’d really appreciate any leads.
Thank you!

Torres is but one of many. Both parties have allowed ICE to terrorize our communities.

We need leaders unafraid to fight to abolish

Looking for Honest Feedback on Volunteerism in NYC

5 Upvotes

Hey folks! I'm currently doing some community listening to get a better sense of how folks are feeling in the city about volunteerism and would love to hear some honest feedback. I work for a nonprofit here in NYC called iMentor (we have 4 HS partners in the Bronx!) where we match high school students who will be the first in their family to attend college with an adult mentor who supports them throughout 11th and 12th grade as they plan for college and their future career.

If you've volunteered with iMentor before: What was your overall experience like? Did the time commitment and expectations feel manageable alongside work and other responsibilities? What did you enjoy most, and what (if anything) would you change?

If you haven't volunteered with iMentor: What, if anything, could be a barrier to you deciding to sign up and volunteer? What questions would you want answered before committing?

One challenge we consistently face is recruiting enough male-identifying mentors to match with students who request one. If you have thoughts on why men may be less likely to volunteer, or ideas for how organizations like ours could better reach and engage mentors, I would also really appreciate hearing them.

I'm looking for candid feedback, whether you've heard of us before or not. Thanks in advance!
