Out of Control!
14th Street & Irving Place in Manhattan. I am pretty liberal on social issues but this is a major health and safety hazard. Mentally ill crackheads the up residence under the sidewalk shed and harass passers by for money. Not safe to walk there.
Attn: Dog Owners using Sean’s Place park for puppy meetups
I know this has been going on for forever but I am sick of it. The puppy meetups happening at Sean’s Place playground (38th St and Broadway) during early weekend mornings are genuinely disruptive to the entire neighborhood.
This morning I was woken up before 8am on a Sunday by barking that echoed across multiple blocks. There are apartment buildings surrounding this park and people are trying to sleep.
A few simple asks:
- Please avoid bringing your yappy dogs to the park before 9am on weekends. Let people sleep in.
- If your dog is barking excessively, leave.
- Be a considerate neighbor. You chose a dog, the rest of us didn’t.
Not trying to start a war with dog owners, just asking for basic awareness. This is a shared community space and the surrounding residents deserve some peace on their days off. (For context, teens sometimes hang out at this park late night and are way more respectful than the fully grown adults organizing these meetups.)
If you’re part of these, please share this with the group chat. All it takes is one person to say “hey, let’s start at 9” and this problem is solved overnight…..
