If anyone lives in the neighborhood, or for that matter in any other Brooklyn 'hood, and has similar issues and/or would like to report other occurrences of stoop-side infractions, please email sackettststoopers@gmail.com

We are still keeping this blog in the hopes of stopping this problem once and for all.

Still spliffin' after all these weeks: over the weekend, K. and company were out down the way at 217 tresspassing and smoking blunts; calls to the 76 were not responded to, despite the fact that smoking marijuana in public is a crime.

In other blunts-in-Brooklyn news: 222 was lit up at night, as well.

Repeat of last night: neighboring dealer tresspassing on our stoop; either he can't read our NO TRESSPASSING NO LOITERING sign or he is in flagrant and menacing violation of it.

Now, why would we care?

He is one of the people who continuously threatens and harasses us; sexually harasses every woman, as well. And his living so near, and being so at home on our stoop, troubles us and our neighbors.

So, last night we were about to retire for the night when we heard an unwelcome hustle-and-bustle right outside. And we go to the windows and, voila, we see one of our friendly neighborhood dealers who sits on our stoop though his stoop is mere feet away, crowding the doorway and smoking (what, we couldn't tell from the angle) with some smarmily dressed friends, while a Suburban idled, double-parked outfront.

This, despite our NO TRESSPASSING sign.

Well, it seems to be starting up again, if more scattershot; last night, 236 was crowded with a handful of hoodlums disturbing the peace and passing blunts, and then we caught this - from the photos, looks like nothing, but it sure looked like a deal of some kind to us.

Well, for a while last night 213 was abuzz just like in the old days, with a small cadre of delinquents passing around joints; then, just when the 76 responded, swiftly but not at all stealthily, the offenders disbanded, with K. ducking into 213 just in time for the NYPD cruiser to drive past without being able to investigate the situation.

Another day, another deal...

We were startled, late last night, to hear a loud commotion, so we went to the window only to see someone running down the block, basically collapsing on a stoop, at which point one of the local dealers ran across the street, handed this person something, before both parties ran off in their respective directions.



It's nice to know, even if all seems good and well, it's really not.

Well, today started like it used to be 24/7 around these parts - K., one of the locals who has menaced us personally, and is always out there smoking blunts at all hours, was out there this morning at 10 am ... that's right: 10 am, speaking of odd hours ... rolling a blunt and smoking it, while kids and elderly passed by.

Last night - or this morning, actually - at 4 am, one of the usual crew and others are hanging out smoking blunts on a stoop (not their own).

Hard to see, but they're there:
