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.

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.

Showing the work and its results

Our reports show what has been done and where. Before-and-after photographs document Clean Streets’ work at individual lampposts and litter baskets; arborists’ observations follow the health of each street tree.

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

The archive

The Block Association has long recognized the value of preserving its records. A 2014 letter described its files and plans for continuity. In 2017, the Block Association reported that Columbia University Libraries had selected its website for a historic-preservation and urban-planning web archive.

The newsletter archive can be searched by subject and year. Each entry links to the original letter.
