I can't believe I'm here leaving a yelp review about a precinct but wow, I'm honestly appalled with…read morehow careless, deceptive, and lazy the officers are here. Community Affairs department might as well not exist - they don't do anything. Why is this being funded if they don't do anything for their community? This department exists to build trust and solve neighborhood problems, but they literally don't do anything (as you can see from the frustrated community themselves leaving reviews below). I'm actually stunned to have caught them in multiple lies stating they "came to check out" a problem that the community has been complaining about over and over - but they blatantly lied and never did and continue to ignore it, despite there being a very serious and obviously illegal problem going on. They'll even ignore you no matter how many times you follow up. This is how bad things happen - through careless actions of NYPD officers such as the ones at this precinct. It's really sad that this is what we're supporting, when they can't even support or help their own community that they're employed to do, when they're in need. I really wish there were actually officers at this precinct that took pride in their jobs, and put effort into making the areas they cover a better place.

After I called 911, the police said just like, even if a complete stranger were to stand outside my window 24 hours a day just staring at my door, it would still be considered lawful simply because it's a public area.

I've lived in NYC for over 40 years and this is the worst NYPD precinct I've ever seen…read more They are horribly understaffed. This neighborhood is relatively quiet, but complaints at night are NEVER resolved, simply because there's only a couple of officers on duty at night. If you have a "quality of life" complaint like a loud party or drunken guys being loud and obnoxious, forget about the police coming to help. A few weeks ago some guy's car alarm started going off at 8pm. I called the police. So did both my neighbors and probably everyone else on the block. None of us got sleep. The alarm was still going at midnight, 3am, 6am, and then finally at 9am the owner came and turned the alarm off. In other words, despite the fact that everyone on the block called the cops, they never showed up. Same thing tonight. A neighbor is having a noisy party at 1am and the 70th Precinct switchboard operator says there are over 20 "jobs" ahead of this. I asked him how long would it take for the cops to come and shut the party down. The guy said "don't hold your breath; probably won't come at all". Utterly useless. Precinct 70, you suck!

I can actually review this place as my boyfriend was sitting there for 3 years for drug trafficking…read more(that happened many years ago). He lost a lot of weight and become almost autistic. He lost a job, his business, almost all friends (that's maybe a good thing after all) and almost lost me. The "clientelle" is rather friendly. The guards do not push above the roof. The food is bad, but there's commissary for a hundred bucks a week. Then you can "pay" the locals to cook something for you. He fought his case and won a time served. What an experience.

I came to MDC to visit a relative whom is a federal inmate. The whole process here wasn't as bad as…read moreI thought. I'm comparing the visiting process to 1 Police Plaza near City Hall and to Allenwood penitentiary in PA. The Friday visiting hours are from 5pm-7pm. If you get there on time, fill out the application, put your personal effects in locker that is provided, you'll be in the visiting room in no time. The security guards weren't as mean as I expected. In Allenwood, those guards were dicks! They didn't even allow you to use the lockers even though they had them. 1 Police Plaza isn't too bad but the visiting room is small and stinky. Here at MDC, it was fairly spacious. In the visiting room, there were private rooms for attorneys and inmates. There's 1 food vending machine, most items were $4-5. Two soda machines, all beverages were $2.75 and only 1 microwave to heat up your food. No utensils, just napkins. Sounds awful but still 10 times better than 1 Police Plaza. During visitation, the guard tells you where to be seated. In Allenwood, you choose wherever you like just as long as an inmate does not sit next to another inmate. The only thing that you're allowed to bring inside is cash money, only singles or five dollar bills. No 10's, 20's, 50's, 100's and you must keep the money in a zip lock bag. They aren't too hard on you if you don't have a bag. In Allenwood, they break your balls over everything and treat the visitor as if they're the inmate. Verdict - From just a visitor's point of view, it's not too shabby. Getting here by train was the worse part. Taking the R to 25th street station took forever. It's about a 7-8 block walk from the station. There's also a waiting room outside of MDC. There's air conditioning but it is still relatively hot because of the non tinted glass windows. I considered driving here but I'm not familiar with the parking situation and whether you're allowed to park under the BQE without a permit. I didn't want to risk it so I wound up taking a near 2 hour train ride to get to this darn place. All in all, knowing that a relative is now closer to home, it's a good sign. Just make sure you don't wear tan or brown colored shirt or pants and just follow their guideline policy before visiting an inmate. The process will be quicker than you think if you come correct.

Bare-bones personal business services shop located on the 'Calle de Peluquería' (Avenue of the…read moreBarbershops). Seriously, does all of Sunset Park come here for cuts? There's 5-6 barbers in a row! Anyway, 'B&B IV' is an as-tiny-as-a-matchbox store with drywall and white paint, with glaring white overhead fluorescents. No frills whatsoever. No carpet, no muzak even. Threadbare. Its that same kind of dinky little services-shop you see in South America: ATM machine, private phone booths to conduct international transactions, internet station with two PCs, (if you surf XXX sites senor, law enforcement WILL be called!) bulletproof clerk's counter to pay bills, cash payroll checks, get photocopies and scans, get money orders, wire money. Make international calls. You can also purchase international phone cards or (in general) fix up any other phone mishap--not a phone repair place but everything else, yes they probably have the remedy. All of the signage, notices, circulars, and warnings in Spanish but the clerks are bi-lingual and generally cheerful and eager to be helpful. I appreciate having this store handy--it can really save the day. Lucky to have it right by the train stop, too. Now--not to overlook this bit of hilarity--bonus points for the large poster of two sexy Latin bikini sluts on the outside of the store--selling what? Well I'm sure I don't know, (there's an international number listed) but I'm equally as sure many people assume B&B is some kind of porn store, due to that. The mystifying crassness of this, is just to marvel at. What can one say? Its just a different culture. But like I say, its cheerful and charming...and frankly I prefer an unpretentious, unfussy, non-corporate, real-live-human place like this than dealing with snotty arrogant Norte Americanos any day. Viva Villa! Down with Heurta! ka-pow ka-pow ka-pow

The Bay Ridge branch of the Brooklyn Public Library is a nice sized space and conveniently located…read morein the immediate vicinity of a number of schools which allows the flow of traffic of students to be rather consistent. The library has two floors and the second is designated to be the Children's Library with reading content suitable for the younger set. The main floor has computer access and complimentary WiFi for those who wish to bring their own device in and have some relative quiet surroundings. It's not too quiet on the Children's floor I am afraid and it made me laugh at how much has changed on that since I was that age and in the library. I've not taken any books out of a library in many years but still have a library card just in case I need something. My reason for being here was for the WiFi and to sit for a few minutes to update my work laptop with some information on the work I was doing. The staff seems very friendly and helpful which is always good to observe.

In my former library staff would gently walk around and ask people to please lower their voices, maybe said policy needs to implemented here because this isn't an environment that would allow kids to be in a peaceful and normal library setting.
