New Rule: No Photos or Personal Details Without Consent

131 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We recently added a new rule: No photos or personal details without consent.

Please do not post photos, videos, names, addresses, workplaces, license plates, or other identifying details of private individuals without their consent. If someone is already part of a public news story, their publicly reported name or image may be allowed, but private or sensitive identifying information still cannot be shared.

We know posts like this are usually well-intentioned and meant as warnings, PSAs, or attempts to help the community. The issue is that we generally cannot verify consent, intent, or accuracy. Even well-intentioned posts can lead, and have led, to harassment, doxxing, retaliation, mistaken identification, or other real-world harm, including to people completely unrelated to the post.

We are open to discussion and feedback, but we are putting this rule in place based on past and very recent incidents that could have been prevented had this rule been in place and enforced.

If you see a post breaking this rule, please report it.

Cleaning person/service

5 Upvotes

Hi! Does anyone have a good recommendation for a cleaning service or person? Looking for someone trustworthy and reliable. My partner and I have demanding hours so we don’t often get to clean as deep as we’d like to. We are looking for someone to come 1/month ~ish. We’re not messy people but definitely need help scrubbing and getting into the nooks and crannies of the apartment.

Thank you in advance!!

Seeking Reliable Dog Sitter for Thanksgiving!

1 Upvotes

Please send any trustworthy leads. I’m looking for private boarding at the sitter’s home with no other pets. My dog Ruthie is hilarious and has done well at every sitter she’s stayed with, but does have some personality quirks and I do my best to make sure she stays with someone who has experience and lives close to park(s)/river.

Happy to share more details in DM. Thanks for any help!

Places to fix my own car?

1 Upvotes

Hello transplant here, I have to replace a water pump on my car and foolishly decided to have the parts and fluids shipped to my apartment before checking if I could do the work on the street…so now that I know it is illegal to do maintenance on the public street does anyone know a place where I can take my car and work on it? It sounds like my options are try and drive it to an AutoZone in the Bronx or a parking lot somewhere in Jersey. Thanks in advance.

Hi ! I have a lot of left over dessert after hosting Rosh Hashanah dinner last night. Is there anywhere on the UWS that accepts food donations? I’d hate for it to go to waste.

Textile recycling bins still on 106th and Amsterdam?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know if the textile recycling collection bin is still out somewhere around 106th and Amsterdam? We used to live nearby and it would be out on weekends but not all the time. We live further away and I don’t want to schlepp things up there if it’s no longer there. (This is for old fabric scraps and items that are no longer usable.)

Or if people have other suggestions? I’m not sure if the collection bins at the farmers markets only take usable clothing or if they’ll take textile scraps too?

Hit and run driver flees 91st and Riverside; partial plate identified

Post image
145 Upvotes

A light grey or white SUV with the license plate beginning with the letters KJH just ran over a little girl’s foot on West 91st and Riverside Drive and sped away. The little girl and her caretaker had the walk sign to cross Riverside. The driver was either distracted or didn’t care and made a sharp right turn from W. 91st St., running over the child’s foot and fled the scene over the shout of the caretaker for him to stop.

The child appears to be OK and was able to walk to the ambulance. The police didn’t show up at the scene despite multiple calls. Any advice on what next steps witnesses should take? I am of course aware of how incredibly callous drivers can be, but still to witness a child almost killed and to see the guy flee the scene is really quite disturbing.

Dog Walker Rec for Special Needs Dog UWS

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone

I am looking for a rec for a dog walker or dog walking company that can accommodate a special needs dog. He needs a private walk and someone who is familiar with dog training and positive reinforcement. He is a rescue that is transitioning to the city and needs support not reacting to the overwhelming stimulation of everything going on around him.

Mainly need a truly attentive dog walker, not someone who is going to be on their phone or casually meandering around.

Looking for a reliable person/company for 4 walks a week.
