"Do you know any East Village charities, for seniors preferably, who are in need of good-quality clothing donations? I have bags of stuff I've never had on my back that need to be liberated from my closet: I thought I would try to donate outside the usual places I give to, like Housing Works and Salvation Army...and especially in the neighborhood."

Three adjacent 24’ wide buildings combine for 72’ of frontage along Avenue B in the heart of the East Village. The properties are five-story plus basement walk-up mixed-use apartment buildings. The buildings combine for approximately 23,697 total above grade square feet. There are 4 stores and 33 apartments of which 1 is rent stabilized, 2 are rent controlled and the remaining 33 units are all free market. The buildings consist of 25 one-bedroom apartments and 11 two-bedroom units. The rent regulated units have average rents of $652 per month versus the average rent of a free market (renovated) one-bedroom apartment of $2,430 per month. The average rent of the two-bedroom units is $3,316 per month. In addition there are four retail stores that have leases expiring between February 2103 and June 2022. The average rent for the four stores is $62/SF, nearly 50% of what market rents are for retail along the Avenue B corridor. All of the free market units have been renovated to include new hardwood floors, marble tiles in the bathrooms, granite countertops and new appliances including dishwashers in the kitchens and washer/dryer in the units. ... Expenses are extremely low as the tenants in 40-42 have their own individual boilers and pay for their own heat and hot water. Vacancies at these buildings are few and far between.
Police in the East Village are looking for a man who they say attempted to abduct a 4-year-old boy.
The little boy was walking with his nanny west bound on 6th Street between Avenues A and B around 11 a.m., when the suspect picked up the boy and tried to walk away with him.
The nanny started to scream and grabbed the child away from the suspect.
The suspect is described as a black man, 45 to 55 years old, with a slim build, about 5'6" to 5'8" tall, and was wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt with writing on the front and faded black jeans.
Anyone with information in regards to this attempted abduction is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
You can also submit your tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website or texting your tips to 274637(CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.
The East Village Rezoning (also known as the Third and Fourth Avenue Corridors Rezoning) covers eight blocks between Third and Fourth Avenues, 9th and 13th Streets. The new zoning will for the first time impose height caps of approximately 12 stories and eliminate the current zoning bonus for dorms and hotels in the predominantly residential area, thus prohibiting the construction in the area of more of the types of mega-dorms we have seen from NYU in recent years.
You can learn more about GVSHP’s efforts to preserve the East Village through landmark designation at our program “Landmarking the East Village” tonight from 5:30 to 7pm at the Tompkins Square Library, 331 East 10th Street (btw. Avenues A and B), which will begin with a brief account and summary of today’s critical rezoning victory. RSVP by calling (212) 475-9585 ext. 35.
