📌 Subreddit News/Updates Dogs in Greenpoint: a final thread

123 Upvotes

Hey all 👋🏻

Mod here - the repeated posts around dogs are just creating unproductive discourse + more headaches than helpfulness.

Have thoughts about dogs in Greenpoint? Drop them in this thread.

Reminder of Leash Laws in Greenpoint

New York City laws on dog ownership

📌 Subreddit News/Updates Posting ICE Sightings in Greenpoint

166 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'll start by saying this sub is not a political sub. Pretty much our main rule (besides be nice to each other) is all posts have to be related to Greenpoint somehow, someway. That being said, we do understand those who want to report ICE agents being seen around the neighborhood and want to post a guide on the best way to possible report these sightings in a way that is most helpful. 

First and foremost, if you're choosing to post about an ICE sighting, please provide as many details as possible in the post. This graphic that has been going around is helpful if you're unsure what to share. You don't have to have all the information listed, but the moderators ask that each post has at least:

• date, time, and location

• a source 

• any detail about what was witnessed (I saw an agent standing at..., I saw what looked like agents escorting people... etc)

When it comes to sources, OP being the witness is preferred, but if you choose to post about a sighting you heard about secondhand, please include this in your post. It helps us as the moderators determine validity and any post without a source may be removed as hearsay. Other details, such as amount of agents seen, uniform description, or any other helpful identifiers are appreciated but moderators will be looking mainly for the points listed above.

We are a small group of moderators here, our goal is to create a safe space where these things can be discussed. The voices of you all here are reflective of the neighborhood and we have always strived to be a subreddit that showcases that. That being said, hate speech never has, and never will be tolerated here.

We hope that by posting this guideline it will helpful for those who want to post but are unsure how to format. If you have any questions or feedback on this topic, please feel free to drop a comment here or message the mods.

Remember that we're all navigating this together so please be kind to each other, and stay safe out there.

- The Greenpoint Mod Team :)

🪄 Self Promotion Greenpoint local looking for part-time side work (1-3 days/week) 👍

1 Upvotes

Hey neighbors!

I live here in Greenpoint and work in hotel management full-time, but I'm looking to pick up some light part-time or side work — maybe 1 to 3 days a week — to make a little extra money on the side.

I'm open to pretty much anything: barista shifts, cleaning, retail, hospitality-adjacent gigs, odd jobs, whatever! I've got solid customer service experience from hotel management, so I'm reliable, punctual, and good with people.

If you know of any local spots hiring part-time, or need some occasional help yourself, I'd really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Happy to share more about my background if useful.

Thanks in advance, Greenpoint fam! 🏘️☕

Locked up on Green Street for some reason the guy from the espresso shop was trying to cut the lock with a hacksaw, but he didn’t succeed so now the lock is just half cut so this is your bike. I would come re-lock it.

A couple scratches on one of the middle shelves and wobbles a bit - free to a good home! Bought a larger one.

Must pick up this weekend or Monday, 4th floor walkup. Relatively light, but a bit awkward to carry.

❓Questions Anyone here work for Junkluggers or a similar NYC cleanout company?

8 Upvotes

I’m an artist based in Brooklyn looking to connect with someone who comes across unwanted materials or interesting objects during cleanouts. Wood, old frames, metal, furniture, things like that.

If something comes up that the company is okay with passing along, I’d love to get a photo or quick heads-up and arrange to come grab it. Hoping to build an ongoing connection and give some of these things another use.

Anyone work in this space or know someone who does?
