B.A. guards do rounds seven nights a week from 5:30-11:30 p.m. ​On weekdays, our guard is Robert Huggins. If you see him, introduce yourself! To report neighborhood security issues or to request our guard's assistance, please use the following phone number:
  • Mr. Huggin's cell phone: 917-474-4221
Please contact security@w102-103blockassn.org to provide feedback and to volunteer for our Security Advisory committee.
​Your contributions to the Block Association provide funding for our street guard service. 

Survey Results on W. 103rd Open Street Project​

​Last Fall, the Block Association conducted a survey of its membership regarding the designation of W. 103rd St. between Broadway and Riverside Drive as a “Temporary Limited Local Access Open Street.” Paper surveys were distributed and responses came in. Click the button below for detailed results.
