From Inwood Hill Park to the shores of the Rockaways, Indigenous history is all around us. Long before New York City bore its name, this land was home to the Lenape people. This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor that history.

Autumn in NYC is spectacular, but falling leaves 🍃can clog our catch basins. Ahead of this weekend’s weather, help prevent flooding by clearing catch basins before the storm. If you need assistance, file a report here: on.nyc.gov/2XM4jEU, and we will send a crew!

DDC is partnering with @NYCulture on a $17.8 million renovation to transform the former Engine Company 204 firehouse in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn into a permanent home and music school for the Noel Pointer Foundation.
City and elected officials, a law enforcement official, as well as a student from the Noel Pointer Foundation stand together holding shovels scooped with dirt as part of the ground breaking ceremony. This project will transform the old firehouse building into a wonderful space where the foundation can continue to teach music to NYC students while honoring the legacy of Noel Pointer and the firefighters who worked at the firehouse.
