Communications
We keep residents, neighborhood institutions, the Trustees and public officials in direct communication.
Our newsletters
When neighbors raise a concern, we take it to the people responsible, pursue an answer and report back.
Our newsletters share timely construction and safety information alongside Park news, local history, photographs and profiles. The relationships behind this work help us address problems early, coordinate with institutions and bring neighbors together when an issue calls for a community response.
When something changes outside your door
After an overnight concrete operation at 38 Gramercy Park, residents asked why work had continued so late. We brought their concerns to the developer’s senior management and shared the response.
Our 38 Gramercy Park updates bring construction notices, meetings and changes to pedestrian access together in one place.

Photographs, service maps and firsthand reports help explain what neighborhood support makes possible. Clean Streets before-and-after pictures show changes at a familiar lamppost or litter basket. Tree reports connect professional observations with individual trees on the perimeter.
Local history and profiles
We publish architectural histories, profiles of neighbors and accounts of local service projects.
At 19 Gramercy Park South, Mamie Fish changed the address without moving the front door. The building profiles start there. 19 Gramercy Park South
