Washington Heights Neighborhood Association

Neighborhood Behavior Guidelines--Page 2

Illegal Activity:  Drug activity will not be tolerated in this neighborhood.  We must call the police every time we detect the presence of drug activy.  Prostitution, Graffiti and Gang Activity will increase if we do not stop it.  We must work with local law enforcement to have properties declared a nuisance, thus having the property owner evict the suspected drug dealer. Contact your district CLO for more information on how to make a property nuisance.

Pets:  Please clean up after your pet, whether it is in your own yard or in public spaces.  It is a law that dog feces must be picked up.  Dogs should always be leashed, fenced, supervised and not left to bark and disturb the neighborhood.

Alleys: Please obey the posted speed of 15 mph and be observant of children playing.  Be sure that garbage, rocks and glass are picked up.
