how do i get the local dealer off the corner? Lincoln
I really didn't mind him so much; been living with him since '99. But now that I've got a kid in tow who is old enough to ask questions, it bugs me when I gotta walk through a crown of people passing the pipe just to get my kid some ice cream at the bodega. Latest incident, a lady clearly not from the block engaged my kid in conversation while she waited for the dealer to grab some goods stashed above the door to the building on the corner. Who do I call?

Who do you call???????? I find it strange that you tolerated this behavior for so long, and now you have a kid so it bothers you. What about all the other kids who've had to deal with that for so long? Playing in the street while your local drug dealer gets a free pass to deal.Do you think when the rival drug dealer comes around shooting; do you think his bullets are discriminatory? Thats the problem with the "Hood" menatality, nobody cares until it hits home. If you don't care about your own community, do you really expect the Police to?
-
Calm down there, King. I'm asking who to call aside from the police; I know there are local elected officials who need to get more active on these issues. Am looking to hear if/how others have had success nearby. And yes, there was a fatality on this very corner not too long ago.

Call Ms. Adossa from the DA's office 718-250-3370.

What I can never understand is the insistence on living in areas that are well-known to be like this. You've got a ton of other family neighborhoods in the borough that would actually be CHEAPER to live in although perhaps not as 'hip', and you wouldn't have to deal with even a fraction of this stuff. :?:

Do you not live in PH/CH/PS? I do, and for lots of good reasons... great transportation (2/3/4/5), BBG, BMA, the Park, and relative safety for this queer Jewish family. Can't guarantee me that in Bay Ridge.

What I can't understand is people being this dismissive. While what you say is true, turning a blind-eye to the situation may as well be a defense of drug-dealers rights. Whether it's the Upper East Side or East New York, wouldn't it be nice if all citizens gave a shit rather than discouraging their neighbors from speaking out? -

I could comment about this but I'll leave it to other more qualified posters.
P.S. That is absolutely ridiculous. -
But more to the point..
Find out the building address block and lot.
Find out who owns the building on the corner they are dealing from.
Call 311 or report via email for non emergency ( they will log it) and call every week you see them out there for 1 month.
If it is a city owned/ HPD property write to them directly via email and complain formally and get a complaint number. Write each week you see them.
Repeat.
Discretely record/ photograph them in the act of dealing and email/ send pics to proper authorities over and over until someone comes out.
Rinse, repeat.
Write to local police station (and city council member) and present the problem to them. Get support from neighbors and see if they are willing to sign a complaint letter addressed to the station head..
Keep good documentation. -

That's how much work is involved in getting a drug dealer off of a city street corner? No wonder most people don't bother.

Everybody knows what is going on with those skinny dreaded hair guys at the corner of Lincoln and Washington by the bodega near the messy buiding with grafitis. So I am sure the cops also know about it. Those guys must be local informant for the precinct, because what they do is to obvious for them to not have been picked up by now.

it aint easy; its like dealing with roaches.
you can do one or all or none.
but persistence pays off. They operate with impunity now and they don't want attention and if they feel the heat, they leave the corner.
Someone could also break that phone on the corner as a start.
Also complain to the bodega owners regularly.
Squeaky chain gets the oil. -
There are people dealing drugs in Prospect Heights? Oh My! Now I'm going to have to move. :shock:
-
If only those drug dealers had mandatory health insurance. Surely there's some medication we could prescribe them to make them change their ways?
-
OMG! A PERSON ON DRUGS TALKED TO YOUR CHILD?!?!? ALERT PARADEREST, KING WITHOUT A CROWN AND THE GESTAPO!!!
-
There's nothing wrong with being sick of drug dealing on the block. It's a bit silly that someone would be attacked by multiple people for bringing it up.
-
Banned for thinking that it's okay to not 'keep it real.'
-
Banned for not realizing that there's no hope in dope.
-
To be fair, banned for not noting that there's 'do' in ''dope'.
-
Do Chickens! Not Drugs!

This is a joke. You say that as if people should move out of the neighborhood, instead of trying to get drug dealers off their corner.
Your argument makes sense if its not violent/illegal behavior you're talking about. ie. don't move into the East Village and then complain about drunken bar revelers yelling all night.
but drug dealing? are you serious? -
how is drug dealing violent? and it's illegality is both irrelevant and an elastic discussion for another day. sure, peddling drugs can lead to hazardous stuff, but in this situation, the kid has been hustling in the same spot for damn dear a decade without incident (as far as we've been told). all we know is that lnclnplcgentrifier is inexplicably losing her mind and wants to start snitching on a harmless-ass dude because a drug addict had the gall to speak to her child.

Also, the original poster was hardly 'losing her mind'. Let's stick to reality. -
Wait. Exactly which corner is this again? I've been looking for a local weed hookup.
-
But how good is the weed? When I leave at 8 AM for work, I get a good contact buzz from next door. Certainly helps with the commute. I think they've got some sweet bud.

I'VE FOUND MUCH SIMPLER WAYS THAN THIS -- INVITING THEM UP TO THE APARTMENT WORKS QUITE WELL -

The bloody chickens are too scared to call the cops on dope dealers!
Down with Chickens!!! -

this is a joke right? should we compare rates of violence on corners where drugs are dealt to corners where they're not?
I didn't think so. -

MR.SNITCH YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SPEAK LOUDER! I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER YOUR CAR RADIO! -

What's more, they're harder to smoke (although good smoked chicken is worth the effort).
Howdy, Stranger!
