We demand safe and clean streets on the Upper West Side

It’s disgraceful what’s happened. We need to be safe!!!!

Adding 500 new homeless people in a small area on UWS is inexcusable, especially without community input. The city needs to do its job and find these people permanent homes and fix the shelter system. Don’t bring back the bad old 80’s / 90’s. I lived through that once

Clean up the upper west side and protect our neighborhood.

Surely there is plenty of room on Rikers Island for housing homeless drug users and violent offenders.

It’s completely unacceptable that the neighborhood was not meaningfully engaged before this happened and that strict protocols aren’t in place to protect UWS residents from the dangers these individuals bring. I don’t want drug users, panhandlers, or sex offenders being brought within 3 blocks of my home.

Take care of the residents !

None of us should feel safe going out with sex offenders roaming around the neighborhood, including schools, unchecked. Whatever measures or staff Project Renewal has in place will not be enough to stave off crime and drug usage. With no input from the community, these individuals should never have been allowed to setup shop here. Shame on the officials who act passively in this matter. Let’s get them out ASAP, too.

Drug addicts, sex offenders have no place in a family neighborhood especially if they are allowed to come and go as they please. This is not a mental health facility that is going to help these people, this had bad written all over it.

Keep our children safe!!

101 W 90th St, #14H

Brings back some very bad memories. I remember the drug addicts, drug pushers, prostitutes, thieves, etc. that roamed the upper west side. To think that those times could possibly return is frightening. These people need help but putting them in a hotel is not the answer. Instead of putting up over priced apartment buildings the government should provide permanent housing that they can call home. I hope that those in power that have made this decision can see that what they are doing can only cause more problems than solutions.

I am afraid for my daughter’s safety. And the homeless need a place to call home permanently.

My heart breaks for everyone. For the homeowners whose property values are in jeopardy, and whose safety may likewise be in jeopardy, the administration has failed them. For the homeless, mentally ill and formerly incarcerated, the administration has likewise failed them. By their actions, the administration has made them pariahs in this neighborhood. They need a permanent solution to housing. The current crisis cries out for immediate action.

Please include the The Watson Hotel at 440 West 57th St and the The Skyline Hotel 725 Tenth Ave in this petition.

Please help us clean our streets again

We would like to see the plan in place and give neighborhood feedback before being ok with this being thrust upon us

Not informing the community (let alone addressing their valid concerns) of this large-scale operation, with potentially dire consequences, is unconscionable

57 W 75TH ST APT 6J

Don't wish to go back to my youth when we had the Hotel Endicott on AMsterdam & W.81 st. with all the drug addicts inhabiting the area and luring the young into lives of drugs

This was done without any neighborhood notice. Belleclaire and Lucerne are two blocks away from each other and within 1000 feet of schools. This is unacceptable.
