Census 2020 – Brooklyn needs you to respond!
| Posted on: August 30, 2020 |
Please support ongoing efforts to make sure every NYC resident fills out a 2020 Census form online or in person. As of late-August, only 53.7% of Brooklyn residents have responded to the 2020 Census. We need to get to 100%. Now, more than ever, it is so vital for every Brooklyn resident to be counted so that our Borough gets the federal support and resources we need to recover from Covid-19 and to thrive in the future! Visit my2020census.gov or call 844-330-2020 to get counted. Online responses can be submitted in English as well as 12 other languages. For resources to help promote the Census, visit New York Counts 2020. Let’s make sure everyone does their part to Make Brooklyn Count 100%!

NYC Alternate Side Parking Rule Changes
| Posted on: July 2, 2020 |
New citywide alternate side parking (street cleaning) regulations have been instituted. Residential streets will only be cleaned once per week on each side. If an ASP sign lists multiple days, street cleaning regulations will be in effect only on the last day listed on the sign. There are no changes to streets that have just one day of ASP regulations on each side or commercial streets or metered areas. For more information on recent changes to ASP rules, go to http://on.nyc.gov/

Community Safety & Fireworks Complaints
| Posted on: June 24, 2020 |
There have been an unprecedented number of reports of fireworks in our community over the past weeks. Remember, fireworks are illegal and dangerous. In addition, and in the words of one of our community residents, “They wake up babies, terrify dogs, trigger those with PTSD, and keep everyone in the neighborhood from being well-rested and healthy during this pandemic – including many essential workers who live here. They have also lit fires and put buildings and people in danger.” Please call 311, 911 or the FDNY Fireworks Enforcement Unit at 718-722-3600 to report fireworks in your neighborhood.
