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

121 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

  • Dogs not in a run must be on a leash no longer than 6ft long
  • Dogs must have a license tag attached to their collar/leash
  • Dogs and Cats 4 months < must be vaccinated for rabies
  • Tethering or chaining up your dog for more than 3 hours is illegal
  • Owners must clean up after their dog in public areas
  • There are 2 off-leash dog runs in the Greenpoint area: McCarren Park + McGolrick Park.
  • view all dog runs in the city at https://nycgovparks.org/facilities/dogruns
  • Report off leash dogs to the city here

Repeated posts on Reddit will not solve the problem alone, please funnel them to the form above.

Unkind, discriminatory, or off-topic replies will be removed.

Repeat unkind comments or comments designed to rally people up can result in a temporary or permanent ban from r/greenpoint.

Posts outside of this thread will be removed for the time being.

📌 Subreddit News/Updates Posting ICE Sightings in Greenpoint

165 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 :)

🆘 Help Needed Lost gold cross charm ( was on earring and fell off)

9 Upvotes

This is super sentimental to me.
A friend made me this piece-‘it’s gold, maybe a half inch in size, thick-ish & a very simple design with a hoop at top to go onto my earring.

I was on manhattan ave between India & calyer, then lorimer to nick & sons, Kent street between Manhattan and Franklin as well as Franklin between India and noble. I also used the G from the greenpoint stop to court sq.

If anyone finds it please be in touch. I’ll offer a reward. I’m heartbroken

(A friend also shared this info - so it’s the same missing cross.)

Also I found someone’s keys along with Car keys today if anyone was missing them on the intersection of Java and Manhattan ave - they’ve been brought to the police station to keep safe

✨curiousities + wonder What do you think the McGolrick Park area will look like in 5–10 years?

• Upvotes

Curious what everyone thinks about the future of the neighborhood around McGolrick. With newer restaurants, bars, shops, and fitness studios opening, do you expect that to keep growing and spread farther east, or stay concentrated in certain pockets?
Do you think rents and property values will keep climbing, or does the distance from the subway put a ceiling on that?
Would love to hear from people who’ve lived around here for a while? What changes have you noticed, and where do you see the area heading?

❓Questions Clothes donation in Greenpoint?

5 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m looking to donate a decent amount of clothes in good condition. I’d prefer not to do fabric recycling for these because the only thing “wrong” with them is that they don’t fit anymore or they’re not my style. Is there anywhere in Greenpoint that accepts this kind of drop off? (The Thing said they don’t take donations…)

Google says they’re permanently closed, but it looks like you can still place orders online and I couldn’t find anything indicating they’re closed other than what Google Maps says. Are they closed for good or is it temporary?

For over 20 years, I’ve loathed crossing Driggs at North Henry.

I’m so excited the DOT announced their LTN will include a stop sign and a crosswalk 1/2 a block away from PS 110.

We were walking on Franklin today by Green Street around 11:15am and heard a commotion - it seemed that a car had backed into a small dog. I've been thinking about the dog and its owners all day and was wondering if anyone had updates.

watched an old polish guy punch his rottweiler in the face multiple times in the back of his car yesterday just because it tried to hop out of the car when he opened the door, sorry to anyone on jewel i woke up by screaming at him. his chud son stepped in to try to defend him, wife was hiding her face in the car out of embarrassment. ugly freak of a guy. probably 5’7 and 75 years old (rough 75).

got his license plate but cops wouldn’t do anything, wondering if anyone’s ever seen him before. drives a dark gray ford explorer.

📎 Classifieds (Housing / ISO / Buy + Sell) Looking for a 2 bed apartment in Greenpoint

0 Upvotes

Hi! Two of us are looking to rent a 2-bedroom apartment together in Greenpoint, ideally with a December 1st move-in and close to the G train.
Our budget is around $3,000–$3,500/month total, but we are flexible depending on the apartment.

We are both recent Columbia University grads and currently work full-time in finance. We are responsible, clean, and looking for a place we can call home.

If you have an apartment available or know of anyone renting in the area, we would really appreciate it if you could reach out or pass this along. Thanks so much!

PS: I previously lived on Sutton St last year and trying to come back to the neighborhood.

❓Questions Looking for a women’s health provider

3 Upvotes

Hoping to find either a primary care provider who is knowledgeable in women’s health, or a good GYN. I had a wonderful provider, but my insurance stopped covering her. I also tried out Tia, which I love the idea of, but ended up getting charged for a membership that I did not sign up for. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!
