While overall crime is down citywide, a new report from the Manhattan Institute shows that crime is up 86 percent over last year in public housing developments.
In 2014, Mayor Bill de Blasio vowed to improve the 15 most-dangerous NYCHA developments. But according to city data, seven of those complexes actually saw an increase in crime this year. Also, seven new developments, including the Tilden Houses, have been added to that list.
There have been some improvements about a block over, at the Van Dyke Houses on Sutter Avenue, where crime has dropped 3.8 percent.
NYCHA says that it has much work to do when it comes to the safety of its residents.
