Community Governance 101: Intro to Community Boards and Precinct Councils
Election Day isn’t the only day of the year during which New Yorkers can have a say in what’s going on in their country and hometowns. That’s what Community Boards and Precinct Community Councils are for.
Have you ever wanted to complain about the loud noise coming from the bar next door in the middle of the night, or that an intersection is getting really dangerous with speeding cars, or that sidewalk trash cans are overflowing and someone has got to do something about this and countless other things? Then attending your local Community Board meeting is for you.
If you heard that local businesses were getting robbed or someone had gotten assaulted the other night and you want to find out exactly what’s going on? Or you have a request for more police presence at a certain time of day/night to check on things? Then your local Precinct Community Council meeting is the place to be.
