Greetings Neighbors and Happy May Day!

On this beautifully sunny spring day, here are a few neighborhood updates!

Public Safety

There were two public safety incidents around our neighborhood reported in the Compstat Report of April 13-26, 2026: On 4.20 at 350 Grand Avenue at 12:34am there was an aggravated assault; and on 4/21 at 740 Chapel Street (at State Street) at 6:01am there was a burglary-breaking and entering.

I also heard from a neighbor on Wooster Street that on 4.27 at 3am a car pulled up and ran down the row of cars trying all the doors. This is a reminder to lock your car doors and remove all valuables from sight.
