  • Doi Arrests City Housing Authority Caretaker on Reckless Endangerment and Arson Charges
    The City of New York Department of Investigation ROSE GILL HEARN COMMISSIONER 80 MAIDEN LANE Release #75-2010 NEW YORK, NY 10038 nyc.gov/html/doi 212-825-5900 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: DIANE STRUZZI WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2010 (212) 825-5931 DOI ARRESTS CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY CARETAKER ON RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT AND ARSON CHARGES ROSE GILL HEARN, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Investigation (“DOI”), announced today the arrest of a Caretaker for the New York City Housing Authority (“NYCHA”) on charges that she set fire to a mattress on the 10th floor in the Manhattanville Houses, the NYCHA housing development on West 126th Street where the defendant worked. No one was injured. DOI began its investigation after it was notified by NYCHA about allegations that a NYCHA employee may be involved in a mattress fire that occurred on September 8, 2010, at the Manhattanville Houses. The Office of New York County District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., is prosecuting the case. DOI Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn said, “The charges in this case are alarming: the fire set in a residential apartment building by a City employee, as charged, could have ended in tragedy but for the quick response of firefighters. Anyone, including a City employee, whose intentional actions endanger the lives of others, will face arrest and prosecution. DOI will continue to work with its fellow City and law enforcement agencies to stop this kind of reckless conduct.” MIRIAM ORTIZ, 36, of Manhattan, N.Y., is charged with Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree, a class D felony, Arson in the Fourth Degree, a class E felony, and Criminal Mischief in the Fourth Degree, a class A misdemeanor.

Manhattanville and Grant Houses in West Harlem have a new touchstone, a specific moment to organize their collective memory, a way to divide their lives. Just a month after the New York Police Department conducted the largest raid in the city’s history, the residents who experienced it have a way to refer to their lives in clear “before and after” terms, like old historical abbreviations B.C. and A.D. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com In the Manhattanville and Grant Houses there was life before The Raid and life after The Raid. Life has gone on, but it has changed, residents and activists say. To them, life after The Raid has borne witness to undeniable changes. Crime is down, the streets are calmer, the sound of gunshots have, for now, been quieted. “Residents feel better about where they live now, about their homes,” said Sarah Martin, 77, who until she resigned on June 16 was for 25 years the General Grant Houses Resident Association president. “They feel like they were expecting a long, hot summer and now they feel it will be problem-free, at least for awhile.” But for many residents of the two public housing projects, especially families of the arrestees, it has been a disorienting period.

  • The Father of a Star High-School Athlete Confronts New York City's
    For Immediate Release: September 28, 2015 Press Contacts: Natalie Raabe, (212) 286-6591 Molly Erman, (212) 286-7936 Adrea Piazza, (212) 286-4255 The Father of a Star High-School Athlete Confronts New York City’s Patterns of Violence In the October 5, 2015, issue of The New Yorker, in “A Daughter’s Death” (p. 52), Jennifer Gonnerman investigates the violence occur- ring in New York City’s public-housing projects, and examines one father’s efforts to bring peace to his Harlem neighborhood in the aftermath of his teen-age daughter’s murder. “Last year, there were three hundred and thirty-three homicides in New York City, the lowest number of any year on record,” Gonnerman writes. “But almost twenty per cent of the shootings in the city occur in public-housing developments, which hold less than five per cent of the population.” Violent crime is so concentrated in some projects that to residents it can feel as if shootings and side- walk memorials were part of everyday life. For decades, the General Ulysses S. Grant Houses and Manhattanville Houses in Harlem have been embroiled in a feud, perpetuated by young residents who belong to “crews.” As Gonnerman explains, the crews are not affiliated with estab- lished gangs, and their disputes were not about drugs or money. “Rather, they fought over turf and status,” she writes. Taylonn Murphy’s eigh- teen-year-old daughter Tayshana—widely known by her nickname, Chicken—was a star athlete on the verge of applying to college when she was killed inside the Grant Houses, where she lived, on September 11, 2011.

Proposal Evaluation and Contract Award……………………..…………….. 18 VIII. Appendices………………………..……………………………….………… 20 ii I. Cover Sheet for RFP for West Harlem Community Reentry Project A. Goal of the RFP The goal of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to seek proposals from qualified applicants to plan and implement a three-pronged community healing, reentry, and violence prevention project utilizing restorative justice practices, credible messengers, and a capacity-building incubator for local community-based organizations to support individuals reentering to, and to prevent future violence in, the Manhattanville and Grant Houses and surrounding areaa in Manhattan. This investment is a direct response to a June 2014 law enforcement intervention that resulted in the arrest and prosecution of 103 individuals, which—while dramatically reducing incidents of shootings and homicides—has had a lasting and multi-faceted impact on the West Harlem community. It is envisioned as a local, collaborative, and community-driven project that will promote healing among community members and between the community and law enforcement; support community members who have recently returned, or are soon to return, from incarceration; and strengthen and empower community-led anti-violence efforts.

  • Columbia NC Study.Indd
    Manhattanville Neighborhood Conditions Study B. HISTORIC CONTEXT Following several decades as a commercial waterfront village consisting of stables, warehouses, ice- houses, and factories, Manhattanville developed into a thriving industrial district in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Spurred by transportation improvements in the mid-1800s, including a rail station and ferry terminal at 130th Street, the area was ideally located for quick shipment of goods to New Jersey and points north. Initially, the neighborhood attracted the dairy and meatpacking industries, which required expedient shipment for perishable goods. In the early 20th century, construction of the IRT subway system, including the Manhattan Valley IRT viaduct, created a housing boom in the Manhattanville area and a commercial corridor formed along Broadway—effectively transforming the village into the urban area it is today. While housing was developed throughout Manhattanville, the study area itself remained a manufacturing and trade-related hub in large part due to the 1916 zoning resolution that deemed the study area as “unrestricted,” thereby allowing for industrial use. When demand for automobiles increased after World War I, ample space, unrestricted zoning, and visibility from the elevated IRT subway line made Manhattanville an excellent choice for automobile service facilities. Manhattanville’s ferry and rail access was of particular importance, as cars were manufactured in the Midwest and delivered by sea and rail freight to the study area. Automobile show-
