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

Great article and so glad you enjoyed it!!! — Len Ellis on Field Trip: The Five Bridges

Thank you Poet's House. These fragments are a wonderful distraction. — TG on A poetry scavenger hunt in Battery Park City

Maybe the store needs to hire security for the safety of their employees and clients. not to say the neighborhood. — t on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

Wonderful! Thank you artists! Nice to see some "street" art. — TG on Seen & Heard: More art at the curb

I think it's time for Patron to go. — Tribeca Dad on Four shots fired on Franklin Street

Go Bill - Whatever people can do to support community and bring people together is so important during this time. This is phenomenal! — Roula on A homegrown effort to help restaurants — and bring some art to the streets

sounds to me like someone is getting paid off.... — bb on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

https://nypost.com/2020/09/27/shots-fired-outside-taylor-swifts-tribeca-apartment/ "The robbery took place at Patron of New York, a sneaker store at 151 Franklin Street shortly after 5 p.m., next door to the Grammy-winning pop star’s $18 million home, with police recovering several shell casings from the scene." — James on Patron of the New patrons robbed at gunpoint

This screams violations and so many health / safety risks its staggering. The disrespect is astounding. The entitlement is disgusting. I feel for anyone living in close vicinity. — Jules on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

For years, I've done the Great Manhattan Bridges walk hosted by Shorewalkers. It involves walking over every pedestrian bridge that connects Manhattan and is 31 miles. https://shorewalkers.org/events/great-manhattan-bridge-walk/ — Reader on Field Trip: The Five Bridges

She's back! And correct. RIP Century. — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?
