AdvertisementAs TikTok becomes the new town square for all things economic transparency, the latest target of populist ire is New York City landlords. Several videos that have recently gone viral show viewers how to look into their rent histories and call out examples of potentially illegal hikes. Wait times for rent histories are now at 20 business days, up from 10 in late January, as a result of "social media activity." Klenkar has made TikToks about her old apartment and rent histories and has had "lots" of people reach out with their own rent histories. More may be on their way as New Yorkers seem to be requesting their rent histories en masse.

Emmanuel Thingue laughed as he nimbly scampered up the jungle gym to have his photograph taken. At 61, he was the oldest person on the playground equipment at Lincoln Terrace Park in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. But Mr. Thingue, a landscape architect who recently retired from the New York City Parks Department after 30 years, had a special connection to the space: He designed it. Over his career, Mr. Thingue designed more than 30 New York City parks and won awards and accolades for his work. Spend an afternoon with Mr. Thingue, and he will tell you how parks improved his life when he was a boy.

“It was a run-of-the-mill impoverished neighborhood, and I hated living in tight quarters,” said Mr. Shepherd, 36. “I always knew I wanted to own a home. Mr. Shepherd is currently stationed in Crown Heights. But Mr. Shepherd had a plan. I had a vision, and I knew that paying cheap rent would get me there.”His vision included a suburban house and yard, surrounded by nature.

New York City’s Labor Day revelry will have a new noise this year as the Police Department plans to deploy the remote-controlled, camera-equipped aircraft to monitor large gatherings — even backyard parties — connected to West Indian American Day celebrations in Brooklyn. The plan was announced at a briefing on Thursday in Brooklyn ahead of J’Ouvert and the West Indian American Day Parade, events that honor the region’s diaspora — New York is home to over 600,000 residents of non-Hispanic Caribbean descent. The celebrations commemorate emancipation, but have been the setting of violence in years past, with shootings marring previous events. Both events are set to take place Monday, with J’Ouvert, a predawn carnival procession, kicking off the celebrations at around 6 a.m. in Crown Heights. Efforts to reach the West Indian American Day Carnival Association on Friday morning were unsuccessful.

Barboncino, a Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, has become the first unionized pizzeria in New York City after its workers unanimously voted to approve the formation of a union. The restaurant staff began organizing more than a year ago with Workers United, which has also supported the employees who are organizing at Starbucks stores. On May 22, staff asked the pizzeria’s owners to formally recognize the union and filed for an election with the National Labor Relations Board. Workers said they’d like higher wages and benefits, including higher minimum starting hourly rates and health care assistance. But they’d also like consistent schedules, protections from unjust disciplinary action and more direct involvement in establishing health and safety protocols.

One source for such items is Outlandish, the Crown Heights, Brooklyn, outfitter that opened in January. It was co-founded by Benje Williams and Ken Bernard, who are Black, expressly to encourage people of color to reconnect with the outdoors. The shop sells the necessary gear but also organizes hikes outside of the city and hosts a book club focused on works about nature by writers of color. He and his father, who hadn’t gone backpacking in 40 years, have been on three more trips since. For the adventurous dad, Williams recommends an ultralightweight stuff sack from Allmansright, whose backpacks and bags are handmade in the Bronx, or socks from the Brooklyn-based label William Ellery, which offers wool-blend pairs in nature-inspired colors with names like Chanterelle and Lichen.

“He’s sitting right in the center of a lot of points,” said the noted trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire in a telephone interview. He is Black music. (He returned to Crown Heights, Brooklyn, from the Berklee College of Music, where he studied piano performance and contemporary writing and production when the pandemic took hold.) “I try to smile through it,” Haye raps with an exhausted tone. While growing up in Flatbush, he was exposed to all of this music by his mother, Adriane, who directed the youth choir at Emmanuel, and his father, Frank, who was the director of music there.

Click to unmute A global city needs a global soundtrack, and in New York, you can find nearly anything you want. Over the past several months, we followed several New York musical scenes that reflect the city’s creative soul, thriving in community centers, local bars and public parks. The sight of a new generation encouraged Mr. Joseph, who sees the band as preserving traditional culture in the modern city. It becomes part of you.” New York itself is as much a player as any musician, transforming traditional tunes into something new. The people who embraced Mateo and his mother when they moved from Boston to New York in 2016 now consoled her.
Here are five proven, data-based changes that could make a difference, and two approaches that don't seem to work, according to Campaign Zero. Track complaints about officers' use of forceMost complaints against officers aren't public, making them hard to track. These changes, along with requiring departments to report and publish online data on all uses of force, could reduce police violence. Body cameras are another method that haven't been proven effective when it comes to excessive force instances. Research has shown that 93% of prosecutors' offices have used body cameras mostly in cases against citizens, not against police.
A Hasidic Jewish man in New York City was left with a broken leg after a car crashed into him in a hit-and-run, as police say the incident is being investigated as a possible hate crime. The vehicle, a 2017 Mercedes Benz, was traveling southbound on Albany Avenue and was making a left turn when it collided with the victim. Surveillance video footage shows the vehicle turn and slam into the man without stopping, throwing the victim onto the ground, and continue driving on. Police said the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force has been notified. Got to be safe,” Usher Berkovich, who lives nearby, said to NBC New York.
The group of hard-line Republicans standing firm in opposing Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s bid for speaker has coalesced around an alternative: Rep. Byron Donalds, a conservative two-term lawmaker from Florida who is considered a rising star in the GOP but is still relatively unknown nationally. Donalds said the incident inspired him to change his life and eventually emerge from businessman to politician. In 2021, Donalds was denied membership in the Congressional Black Caucus and insisted it was because of his conservative views. Donalds’ wife, Erika Donalds, with whom he has three children, is also a conservative Republican and involved in state politics. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., center right, speaks with a colleague in the House chamber at the U.S. Capitol, on Wednesday.
About 80 percent of requests for special education teacher support services last year came from the predominantly Hasidic and Orthodox districts, records show. But in Hasidic areas, more than a dozen parents told The Times that religious schools were driving the surge, including by paying for the lawyers who represent parents at hearings. Most parents spoke on condition of anonymity because openly criticizing Hasidic leaders can lead to being shunned by family and friends. Five hearing officers told The Times that in proceedings involving Hasidic children, some parents have not seemed to know what they were requesting, or why. “Please can you have her medical doctor write a prescription stating diagnosis of F84.0,” the email said.

Toonkel said the landlord couldn't gain access to Roberts' apartment because of a "hoarding problem." He didn't specifically address the chickens near Roberts' apartment. Roberts' rent is regulated by New York City rent-stabilization laws, which generally cover buildings built between 1947 and 1974. Roberts told Legal Services NYC, an advocacy group working on his case, that he'd voiced concerns about the state of the building to previous owners. This is heartless," Roberts told Legal Services NYC.

Sherlock Holmes had unimpeachable inductive reasoning and a cocaine habit. Hercule Poirot had “enormous moustaches.” Avraham Avraham ? The creation of Israeli crime novelist Dror Mishani , Avraham (Jeff Wilbusch) begins his days in a shawl and tefillin praying on his roof near Brooklyn’s Williamsburg Bridge; when he says he grew up in Crown Heights, he means Orthodox Crown Heights. When he encounters a dead body on the street, as he does at the outset of episode 1 of “The Calling,” he murmurs holy words of Hebrew over the body. And when a teenager goes mysteriously missing, he sits on the boy’s bed, to better sense his subject’s whereabouts and, possibly, the unsettled spiritual-emotional atmosphere that may have inspired the disappearance.
Victoria istorică a lui Dinkins la alegerile din 1989 a fost rapid eclipsată de o creştere a criminalităţii şi a tensiunilor rasiale care au subminat realegerea sa pentru un nou mandat, în 1993.Decesul lui David Dinkins a survenit la puţin mai mult de o lună după ce soţia sa Joyce a încetat din viaţă, la 11 octombrie.În cele două decenii trecute după ce a plecat de la primărie, Dinkins a predat la Universitatea Columbia, s-a implicat în acţiuni caritabile şi a mai apărut doar ocazional în public, rămânând în general o prezenţă discretă.În 1995, Dinkins a fost supus unui triplu bypass coronarian, iar 13 ani mai târziu a suferit o altă intervenţie la valvă. În 2013 a văzut lumina tiparului autobiografia sa "A Mayor's Life: Governing New York's Gorgeous Mosaic" ("Viaţă de primar: Să guvernezi extraordinarul mozaic newyorkez"), titlul care redă cea mai cunoscută expresie folosită de Dinkins din cei patru ani petrecuţi la City Hall.Alegerea sa a fost salutată atunci ca începutul unei noi ere pentru oraşul pe care l-a descris în discursul de inaugurare "un mozaic extraordinar", Dinkins fiind văzut ca o voce a schimbării, a calmului şi compromisului, după cele trei mandate ale predecesorului său Ed Koch, perceput drept caustic şi înclinat spre confruntare. "Dinkins a proiectat un tip de personalitate care nu este ameninţătoare pentru albi şi este acceptabilă pentru negri", a afirmat la un moment dat fostul congresmen Floyd Flake.Ca primar, Dinkins s-a confruntat cu un val în creştere de probleme, aproape încă din prima zi, începând cu dezastrul din trezoreria oraşului şi reputaţia sa grav avariată şi până la "epidemia" de cocaină care făcea ravagii.Până la finalul primului său an la primărie, omuciderile ajunseseră la un nivel record în New York - peste şase pe zi, sau o crimă la patru ore -, totul culminând în 1991 cu aşa-zisele revolte de la Crown Heights, izbucnite după moartea unui copil afro-american de 7 ani lovit de o maşină condusă de un evreu.O anchetă i-a reproşat ulterior lui Dinkins că nu a reuşit să ţină sub control escaladarea violenţelor între afro-americanii şi evreii din cartier, raportul de anchetă fiind publicat cu câteva luni înainte de alegerile din 1993, câştigate de Rudy Giuliani, care a transformat revoltele într-o temă de campanie.Victoria lui Dinkins asupra lui Koch fusese asigurată de aceleaşi probleme care i-au marcat propria administraţie - problemele rasiale şi criminalitatea. Popularitatea administraţiei Koch a fost grav afectată de o crimă din august 1989, când un adolescent de culoare a fost asasinat de o bandă de albi. O lună mai târziu, Dinkins a câştigat alegerile primare democrate în defavoarea primarului în exerciţiu, apoi, la scrutin, l-a depăşit pe republicanul Giuliani cu doar 50.000 de voturi, într-una din cele mai strânse curse electorale de acest nivel din istoria oraşului, scrie agerpres.ro.
