Hi, I'm a data reporter at The City Reporter. I'm working on a story about the rise in foreclosures in the Bronx and am looking for sources who are currently navigating, or have recently navigated, a foreclosure in a single-family home. Especially interested to speak to you if your foreclosure was a result of tax liens or matters beyond your control.

Please feel free to DM me or email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

I’ve only seen 2 communities and they’re on the other side of Bronx. I’m in east Bronx and looking to get something started here but wondering if people have suggestions in terms of open/accessible spaces that can accommodate groups like this. Thanks in advance!

This letter was posted on my building's community board last week about how there are a number of electric stoves that the owner installed that have uncertified batteries in them. Is there anything I can do about this?

Anyone know how the area around the Cypress Av Station is safety wise for a young woman commuting to work alone in the South Bronx/Mott Haven area?

I haven't been to this pizza shop often but each time I went, I remember getting a slice while I would wait for the Bx15 or Bx55 limited bus. There was never a time that I went to this pizza place and not enjoying the pizza. One day I decided I wanted to treat myself here and was sad when I saw that it was permanently close. This was one pizza shop in the Bronx that never seemed to lost its touch to me and now I miss it more than ever. I know there are plenty if delicious pizza shops in the Bronx but it was just something about this one that I liked😔

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a 2- or 3-bedroom apartment in Woodlawn, Bronx, or just over the line near McLean Avenue in Yonkers.

My ideal apartment would have:
Lots of natural light
First or second floor (not a basement)
Walking distance to the Woodlawn Metro-North station
Outdoor space (porch, deck, or yard) is a bonus
No broker fee if possible
Budget around $2,500–$3,000/month

I’m a responsible working professional looking for a long-term rental. If anyone knows of an apartment that isn’t listed online yet, or has a local landlord looking for good tenants, I’d really appreciate any leads.
Thank you!

My mom grew up in the South Bronx, and the experience clearly traumatized her. She has a million and one horror stories and she gets close to tears whenever she re-tells them. Getting regularly mugged, beat up, stalked, catcalled, groped, and worse; how she had to force a "tough" face at all times, pretended she kept a gun in her purse, eventually actually started carrying a gun, etc.

I know the city as a whole is massively safer than it was in the 60s/70s/80s when she was living there, but I also know numbers and statistics don't tell the whole story.

I now have a potential job opportunity in the neighborhood (Longwood area) and my parents are very on the fence about whether or not I should even seriously consider the option. When my mom mentioned the location to her childhood friend/neighbor, said friend gave an emphatic "Oh HELL no, you're not gonna let her work there, are you?"

I'm a lifelong New Yorker, and even my own neighborhood was pretty grungey when I was very young, but it turned around a lot since then. I don't mind going to "grittier" parts of the city now and then, as I know how to pay attention. But I am an average-sized young woman, not tall or strong-looking at all. My mom and I are both Puerto Rican but we fall on the "white" end of the spectrum, which she says also made her more of a target.

I don't know if I'm naive for thinking someone like me could be okay pursuing this opportunity, or stupid for letting my parents' fears get in my head. I'm really not sure what to think anymore.

Hey folks! I'm currently doing some community listening to get a better sense of how folks are feeling in the city about volunteerism and would love to hear some honest feedback. I work for a nonprofit here in NYC called iMentor (we have 4 HS partners in the Bronx!) where we match high school students who will be the first in their family to attend college with an adult mentor who supports them throughout 11th and 12th grade as they plan for college and their future career.

If you've volunteered with iMentor before: What was your overall experience like? Did the time commitment and expectations feel manageable alongside work and other responsibilities? What did you enjoy most, and what (if anything) would you change?

If you haven't volunteered with iMentor: What, if anything, could be a barrier to you deciding to sign up and volunteer? What questions would you want answered before committing?

One challenge we consistently face is recruiting enough male-identifying mentors to match with students who request one. If you have thoughts on why men may be less likely to volunteer, or ideas for how organizations like ours could better reach and engage mentors, I would also really appreciate hearing them.

I'm looking for candid feedback, whether you've heard of us before or not. Thanks in advance!

about to see the odyssey at amc bay plaza in their brand new dolby theater and damn i'm impressed! it's nice to know it IS possible for the bronx to have the same little luxuries as the other boroughs :)

Ritchie Torres has voted for pro-ICE legislation, backing the same agency that killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

Torres is but one of many. Both parties have allowed ICE to terrorize our communities.

We need leaders unafraid to fight to abolish
ICE.

Anyone know if there is a fire near grand concourse village? There is smoke around but I don’t hear any sirens.

Hello everyone I am member of Bronx Mutual Aid and was wondering if anyone had any soap making supplies either in disuse or that they’re willing to part with? I want to start making soaps to distribute at our weekly distro to the community. It’s a huge hygiene necessity and the majority of the people we serve are either unhoused/homeless or are elderly and low income. Thank you! Can coordinate pick up, I’m near Fordham
