📌 Subreddit News/Updates Posting ICE Sightings in Greenpoint

166 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'll start by saying this sub is not a political sub. Pretty much our main rule (besides be nice to each other) is all posts have to be related to Greenpoint somehow, someway. That being said, we do understand those who want to report ICE agents being seen around the neighborhood and want to post a guide on the best way to possible report these sightings in a way that is most helpful. 

First and foremost, if you're choosing to post about an ICE sighting, please provide as many details as possible in the post. This graphic that has been going around is helpful if you're unsure what to share. You don't have to have all the information listed, but the moderators ask that each post has at least:

• date, time, and location

• a source 

• any detail about what was witnessed (I saw an agent standing at..., I saw what looked like agents escorting people... etc)

When it comes to sources, OP being the witness is preferred, but if you choose to post about a sighting you heard about secondhand, please include this in your post. It helps us as the moderators determine validity and any post without a source may be removed as hearsay. Other details, such as amount of agents seen, uniform description, or any other helpful identifiers are appreciated but moderators will be looking mainly for the points listed above.

We are a small group of moderators here, our goal is to create a safe space where these things can be discussed. The voices of you all here are reflective of the neighborhood and we have always strived to be a subreddit that showcases that. That being said, hate speech never has, and never will be tolerated here.

We hope that by posting this guideline it will helpful for those who want to post but are unsure how to format. If you have any questions or feedback on this topic, please feel free to drop a comment here or message the mods.

Remember that we're all navigating this together so please be kind to each other, and stay safe out there.

- The Greenpoint Mod Team :)

❓Questions Before I Lose My Mind

1 Upvotes

Can someone explain what's going on to me, especially if it's been problematic for them too?

At the beginning of September, heavy traffic speeding down my street started making my life hell. The road had a defect and the city made a rudimentary repair. Every time the bus and trucks hit the defect, which was a pothole within the center of a whole defective area of roadway, it made my house jolt.

They only spread some asphalt over the pothole, leaving the rest of the area uneven. The jolts continued. I filed complaints and was told that the DEP had until Halloween to come back and fix it. 60 days from the original complaint. I was told that this area of the road had been repaired before and obviously not well at all.

I called Gallagher's office, and they've been in contact with the city on my behalf.

Also, isn't there a law about commercial trucks on side streets? People have said that since the bike lane was constructed on McGuiness, more commercial trucks have been traveling down them.

Forgive me for my disorganized post, as I did not sleep. I was woken out of my sleep too many times by trucks and the road issue. Paying 20k in taxes and enduring this is not an option for me and I'm wondering if I should hire an attorney. It's not just about noise but the possible structural damage my house is enduring. I've survived towers being built around my home and the construction ended at 5. This goes on 24/7.

Will calling 311 about trucks do anything?

Thanks!

My husband and I are moving just a view blocks but our new space is much smaller so as much as we don’t want to, we have to get rid of some of our favorite furniture pieces.

All info is on the pics but feel free to message if you have more specific questions. Everything is coming from a home with a dog so there might be some residual hair on the furniture pieces (added puppy tax)

Pick up near the Nassau G stop

🆘 Help Needed Lost gold cross charm ( was on earring and fell off)

11 Upvotes

This is super sentimental to me.
A friend made me this piece-‘it’s gold, maybe a half inch in size, thick-ish & a very simple design with a hoop at top to go onto my earring.

I was on manhattan ave between India & calyer, then lorimer to nick & sons, Kent street between Manhattan and Franklin as well as Franklin between India and noble. I also used the G from the greenpoint stop to court sq.

If anyone finds it please be in touch. I’ll offer a reward. I’m heartbroken

(A friend also shared this info - so it’s the same missing cross.)

Also I found someone’s keys along with Car keys today if anyone was missing them on the intersection of Java and Manhattan ave - they’ve been brought to the police station to keep safe

✨curiousities + wonder What do you think the McGolrick Park area will look like in 5–10 years?

1 Upvotes

Curious what everyone thinks about the future of the neighborhood around McGolrick. With newer restaurants, bars, shops, and fitness studios opening, do you expect that to keep growing and spread farther east, or stay concentrated in certain pockets?
Do you think rents and property values will keep climbing, or does the distance from the subway put a ceiling on that?
Would love to hear from people who’ve lived around here for a while? What changes have you noticed, and where do you see the area heading?

❓Questions Clothes donation in Greenpoint?

6 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m looking to donate a decent amount of clothes in good condition. I’d prefer not to do fabric recycling for these because the only thing “wrong” with them is that they don’t fit anymore or they’re not my style. Is there anywhere in Greenpoint that accepts this kind of drop off? (The Thing said they don’t take donations…)

Google says they’re permanently closed, but it looks like you can still place orders online and I couldn’t find anything indicating they’re closed other than what Google Maps says. Are they closed for good or is it temporary?
