🌱 Adams Crime Plan + NY AG Investigates Crown Heights Eviction

Hey, Ditmas Park-Flatbush! Here's everything you need to know to get this Tuesday started off right.

First, today's weather:

A little rain. High: 54 Low: 53.

Here are the top three stories in Ditmas Park-Flatbush today:

1. Enforcement began Monday for Mayor Eric Adams' plans to crack down on Subway crime with increased police presence and beefed up enforcement of existing rules. Some Brooklyn residents expressed hope in the plan, while others were skeptical that more policing is the right answer. Over the weekend, a man from Flatbush allegedly swung a hatchet at another man on the platform of the Franklin Avenue C station. (News 12 Bronx)
2. You may have seen headlines about a high-profile tenant's rights story in Crown Heights. The Brownstone in question is owned by a multi-generational family, the Robinsons, who have owned it since the 1950s – but who allegedly were tricked into 'refinancing' it in 2015 – and have been under threat of eviction ever since. Now Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the case. (Brooklyn Reader)
3. Members of Flatbush's Jewish community met with Muslim-Pakistani community groups to discuss recent hate crimes in their communities, including an incident last week. (Hamodia.com)
