This Edition: Movies and Helping Neighbors...
Dear Neighbor:
This week's newsletter highlights the ongoing work of our office, from constituent casework to community programming. Movie Night at Williamsbridge Oval continues to bring families together, and our Constituent Advocates secured real wins for residents navigating SNAP, disability parking, and sanitation issues. Read on for the details.

Movie Night at Williamsbridge Oval kicked off with a screening of Zootopia 2. The next movie originally scheduled for August 28 has been postponed. The series will resume with Coco on September 11. Movies begin at sunset. Bring the family for a fun night out. Thanks to the Mosholu Montefiore Community Center, Amazon, and House of Speakeasy for partnering with us on this series.
Parking Help
After more than two years of effort, a Riverdale resident secured a disability parking permit for her brother. Constituent Advocate Moises Lopez worked with her to gather updated medical documentation and coordinated directly with the Department of Transportation to submit a complete application. The permit arrived this month, and our office was proud to help see the process through. If you need assistance with a disability parking application, reach out to our office.
SNAP case update
Our office recently helped a Kingsbridge area constituent resolve a SNAP case update, working directly with HRA to report a change in income and confirm her continued eligibility. Her benefits will resume in September. Constituent Advocate Caleb Auerbach connected her with the proper SNAP center and guided her through the documentation needed to keep her case active. If you need help with a SNAP application or case update, our office is here to help
Parking lot cleanup near 4225 Webster Avenue
Overgrown grass and weeds near the parking lot at 4225 Webster Avenue have been cleared following a resident complaint and multiple 311 service requests. Constituent Advocate Moises Lopez followed up directly with the Department of Sanitation after an initial request was closed without action, and pushed for the site to be properly addressed. The area is clean now, and our office continues to monitor conditions in the neighborhood.
If you notice a sanitation issue near you, let us know.
