The store has everything to do with it, They know their clientele, they know if they get paid mostly with cash or credit, more importantly armed robbers know and the line outside creates a feeding frenzy for criminals. Armed robbery happened there a month ago and store did not hire security, They are to blame for that part and police are to blame for not focusing on a target area. Mayor of course is aways to blame in my book because his inactions have caused this city to become less safe. Enough blame to go around. If this community wants its safety back, time to speak up. — S on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

I welcome Sarabeth’s back. All retail and restaurants are struggling now and i am excited to support our local places. Bring on the French Toast! — John G on Sarabeth’s is reopening next weekend

I would be interested in organizing with others to address the issue. Can we start by calling First Precinct on this specific matter? TC - can you help organize a petition? Patron of the new is a magnet for crime and we should address before someone gets hurt. Two times that we see guns on Franklin? We should not let this be the norm. — John G on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

NYPD a block away. Where were the police? — Tribeca resident since 1975 on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

Anybody know who the landlord is? And I cannot imagine the people who live above the store are happy. Where is Community Board 1? This is certainly a quality of life issue. — Concerned on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

Why blame the police? they were asked to stand down by both the mayor and the governor. I don't blame them for doing nothing, because if they did they would be called racist. — SP on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

Looking Good for the Neighborhood. Thanks for photos & video — Ben on Seen & Heard: More art at the curb

Goodness Jules, it must have been terrifying to watch everything unfold on the Citizen app. Sounds like a well funded lawsuit should compensate your pain and suffering. As far as someone on the inside "tipping off robbers" I'd doubt that and suggest that the issue has to do with the fact that a store selling high end streetwear worth tens of thousands of dollars isn't getting paid with many personal checks or credit cards from the clientele it's attracting. The store as well as the customers on line outside probably have more cash on hand on any given day than the window teller at your favorite Citibank branch. — Robert on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

I guess next step is getting the neighborhoods associations together and sue NYPD for a clear and evident lack in response to these disgraceful episodes. We pay the top taxes in the country, the least we can ask for is safety. The list of issues is long as the Bible but this is a real priority and we can't keep accepting this. Truth is NYPD claims to have hands tied...but we can't keep going like this, the city administration and that moron of the mayor need a serious action against them. NYPD though is becoming a joke, with policemen hiding inside cars all doing chewing gums eating donuts doing nothing at all. Disgrace! — ThePeacefulWarrior on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

all in to get neighborhood together! what can we do to organize and stop vagrancy and crime? — sam on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

this store attracts a certain criminal element. its time for it to go. can we boycott it or bring it up at cb1? — scared on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

When crime is down NYPD takes the credit. When crime is up?"Welcome to New York in 2020?" PSSSSHHHHHH! No kidding it isn't common in the First Precinct. What an astute observation. First off this place Patron of the New has to go as it is obviously a magnet for robberies and there must be someone connected to if not working there who is tipping off robbers because two robbery attempts a month apart? That can't be coincidence or happenstance. The landlord should kick them out ASAP. Second, to First Precinct: You should be embarrassed that two robberies have taken place two blocks away from you. Instead of your we told you so crap, instead of hiding and loafing in patrol cars on Staple and Collister Streets (the real hotspots of crime in TriBeCa LOL) how 'bout you WALK THE BEAT? You know, do actual policework instead of be on your phones and hang out next to Nancy Whiskey Pub at your newest and second barricaded spot West Broadway and Avenue of The Americas - and why have you closed W. B'way between AOTA and Canal Street along with Ericsson Place? How 'bout you have a patrol car on Franklin right across from thus robbery magnet instead of Jay and Staple or Collister and Laight? How 'bout you take the blame as well as the credit? How 'bout you stop being overpaid glorified crime scene attendants? — X on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

Maybe they need to get security guard to keep employees and client safe. Not to mention the families who live on the block. All the upscale shops in Soho have guards. Also, maybe Tribeca needs to do what the upper west is doing. Coming together to save our neighborhood. — toni on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

Please don’t blame the store, it’s done nothing to warrant this. The recent uptick in crime in TriBeCa seems to be closely correlated with the large groups of “protesters” who now regularly gather downtown. City Hall Park has been vandalized repeatedly. We had to deal with a month-long occupation that started as a budget boycott. There are statements like “F the police” and “Die Pigs” graffitied on Chambers Street and the Woolworth Building regularly. High-end stores along Broadway in SoHo have been tagged and had windows smashed many times. And now we’ve had two shootings in what has been one of the safest areas in the city in the last month. This is disgusting behavior that isn’t helping anyone and only makes this city a worse place to live for all of us. — James on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

I am also a neighbor right across from this building and few nights ago on a weeknight there was a party of college kids in the basement of that building and firemen came and all 100 of them had to all evacuate. They ended up hanging out on the streets at 1.30am, making noise and I was unable to sleep. Jack is obviously renting out residential properties for commercial use. Is that legal? Lispenard st is a residential street. Not a clubbing street nor a Frat house. Mr popular ought to take his parties elsewhere. He is living in the wrong neighborhood. — Neighbor2 on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

So upsetting and scary. I watched it unfold on Citizen app. This store seems to be consistent neighborhood hazard to say the least... — Jules on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

Why is there no description of the perps? Were they ghosts? — A Donald on Patron of the New patrons robbed at gunpoint

165 Duane Street 4A Maybe credit cards only would help this situation. — CB on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

Rooftop parties w no masks or distancing also happening atop building w ward 3 down below. infuriating to watch from our windows. So disrespectful to the effort this city has made to check the virus. — MFS on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

That store has been there a very long time. Sorry to see it is closing. Bummer! — Deborah Hartley on Where in Tribeca?

Similar thing going on at 1 Harrison - the apartment on Puffy’s rooftop. Although it seems the loud, pounding music has (for the moment) subsided - there are crowds of maskless people coming and going until 8AM - 9AM. The resulting garbage on the street is unsightly. 311 calls are useless. — SPJ on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

The building was bought and developed into condos by Jackson Jangana who appears to still own most of them. Seems pretty straightforward that is the person and company who should be reported. As the article states, the units on 1, 4, 5 and the triplex penthouse are all owned by Lispenard 3J LLC Lispenard 3J LLC is owned by Continental Equities Group Inc Continental Equities Group Inc Is owned by Jackson and Jenny Jangana One can see on StreetEasy that the unit on 4 was newly rented as recently as 9/9/20 and it appears they are all used as rentals. — TiredOfBadNeighbors on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

A great piece that “bridges” fitness and curiosity which makes for a fun adventure! An inspiring “Tribeca Citizen” featured in the “Tribeca Citizen.” Gives a whole new (literal) meaning to “we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.” — Nicky E. on Field Trip: The Five Bridges
