We chronicled the development of the Fairfield Inn on Third Avenue all summer, and then things got pretty quiet. But the construction continues: we just snapped this photo of the entryway and the soon-to-be parking lot. (Here’s a rendering, in case you were curious.) The opening date has been pushed back to January of next year.

  1. Sorry Pete – I disagree, in every precinct overall crime statistics are pretty closely correlated to Homicide rates….look for yourself

    Additionally Homicide Statistics are the most accurate of all crime statistics because they are not subject to manipulation by the NYPD Brass.

    Finally I did not say that the area in question had “high crime” in relation to NYC, what I said in response to NYGuy7’s post – is that although he never had a problem re: the projects- the vast majority of homicide victims in the neighborhood DID – since 75% of them (12 out of 16 since ’03 )happened in or around said projects.

  2. homicide stats not a good indicator of risk of crime for area resident.
    since homicides are usually by party known to victim.
    76th precinct has larger project than Wyckoff.
    And both have pretty low crime rates when compared to rest of NYC.

  3. Crime stats for 84th precinct (Boerum Hill ara) and 76th Precint (Carroll Gardens area). Stats shows that these areas are pretty safe, particularly compared to 20 years ago. I lived in Carroll Gardens for 10 years and in Boerum Hill for 7. The common perception is that Boerum Hill is less safe than Caroll Gardens. I always felt that way, but think both are in the very safe category. Stats show more murders in Carrroll Gardens for the reported years, but lower total crimes. I don’t know how different the precints are in terms of population.
