The West 71st St Block Association covers the blocks between Central Park West and Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

West 71st Street is a great place to live and we are working together to make it even better!

Current issues we are looking into are: Stopping the proposed e-bike charging station for the bow-tie intersection (sign petition below!), beautifying the tree wells, rats, trash/litter on the sidewalks, scaffolding, nighttime noise and illegal behavior, working with the 20th Precinct and outreach groups to help the homeless, and replacing the newspaper bins with newer and fewer ones.

We work on the above issues by collaborating with local legislators, city agencies, police, both churches on the block, local businesses, outreach to the homeless, Sanitation and Health Departments, landlords, neighbors.


How to help:

1. Tell your neighbors about our block association and have them e-mail us to add them to our list.

2. Call 311 or e-mail 311 at http://www.nyc.gov/apps/311/about.htm to report block issues. Or call the 20th police precinct at 212.580.6411.

Rat Control

As a result of our block walthrough with the Department of Health on July 12, 2012, letters signed by Council Member Gale Brewer and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer were mailed to property owners last week, advising them of potential violations.  The owners were advised to make repairs to their property.  In the early fall, the Department of Health will schedule another walkthrough to examine the repairs.  If the issue has not been corrected, the property owner wil be issued a violation and be ordered to pay a fine.  Fines can be up to $2,000 for repeat offenders.
