We demand safe and clean streets on the Upper West Side

NYC is disgusting!!!!! Im moving out if you dont clean it up!!

Not to be put in family neighborhoods.

I’m afraid for my young children.

214 Riverside Drive Apt. 211

A 3 billion budget for homelessness wasted away with unproductive measures. Time to put a competent administration in city hall!

UWS mom

Stop dumping drug addicts and sex offenders in the family neighborhoods of the UWS. Send them to the mayor’s house in Brooklyn.

Don't dump on the UWS. We've worked hard to make this neighborhood safe and clean.

Keep the UWS safe and clean for our children. This is a family neighborhood!

It’s not safe at all for civil people and kids of course

No more sex offenders in the Belleclaire! Why in God's name do you renovate a hotel and then promptly destroy it? The permanent residents of it and the surrounding area deserve better.

We need to help these people and be understanding but putting them in neighborhoods without consulting the residents. This neighborhood is family oriented and any plans must have community input.

Please keep our neighborhood safe for our children’s!

Get them outta here D bozooooooo

I am all for helping people in need. But we would also like my neighborhood be safe for my daughters, too. Otherwise why would we pay such high city tax and rent to live in this neighborhood?? This action is very irresponsible, just doing photo ops without careful planning. Create a plan to ensure community safety!

These shelters must remain only temporary. Having three shelters all clustered together on the upper West side that house registered sex offenders, loitering within the neighborhood and in front of the hotels during the time of Covid not social distancing and not wearing masks must stop. We are all taking precautions to keep ourselves and others in our neighborhood safe in these homeless people have a casual disregard to rules and doing what has been mandated by Governor Cuomo and mayor Deblasio. I have personally been hassled walking by 87th St. and Amsterdam in front of the hotel Belnord, it was very frightening and disconcerting as a woman walking in my neighborhood. I am out raged that the community was not consulted prior to this decision.

Government needs to act immediately to clean up this neighborhood. Relocate shelters, get drug addicts off the streets and restore safety for the tax paying families!

I work in a homeless shelter and I know what these guys are like. Many of them can be great guys when they are not using drugs or trying to get money for drugs. Substance use, theft, and violence are rampant in and around the shelters. The security is a joke because a lot of them live in shelters and the residents of the shelters are their peers. I walked from the UWS to the West Village the other day and it is the first time that I really felt like we are back in the 70’s.

I have a 13 year old daughter that has to walk that area daily!!! All about helping homeless and mentally ill! ( I have it in my family) but not where so many children reside!

Please help us save the safe vibe here - we had such an amazing community for our children to grow and learn. It was already dense in population- why didnt they offer rooms in a hotel that was in the outskirts where people can spread out better?
