The Build The Block meetings for the 25th Precinct are on hold for now:
Good Afternoon,
I was told that you received some concerns about the Build the Block Meetings. I first off want to apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. As of last week, we have had some administrative changes, including changing the officers & supervisors in our Neighborhood Coordination Team. I realize that this information should have been relayed to the community, to avoid anyone attending previously scheduled Build the Block Meetings that were not happening, and for that I apologize again. Deputy Inspector Maisonet is working to fill the vacancies as soon as possible, but until then, we will have to cancel all future Build the Block Meetings. I would appreciate you helping us spread the word to the community about the cancellation of the meetings for now. We will give more information at our Community Council Meeting on March 20th, which will continue as planned. Again, I feel terrible that members of our community wasted their time to attend these important meetings and the information was not relayed. Please let me know if there is anything else we can do. Also, feel free to reach me by phone whenever needed, especially if something like this ever happens again. Thank you and be safe!
Respectfully,
Police Officer Jaylise Cosme

Digital Harlem Renaissance - What Happened Here?
If you ever want to get a sense of what might have happened in your building, or on your block during the Harlem Renaissance, Digital Harlem: http://digitalharlem.org/ is a great place to start.
If you click on a "type of event" on the left and press 'enter' on your keyboard you can see where Jazz Age crime and other events took place.
Of course, we need to always consider who gets arrested and who doesn't, as well as the imperfect nature of police record-keeping in the 20th century, however, the maps are fascinating:
Car Theft:
Abortion:
Prostitution:
Public Speaking:
