From what I hear from my doorman, there have been a couple of daytime robberies on 99th Street recently. I cannot confirm this though.

There have been reports during the summer of burglars in the area looking for open windows during the day. There has also been a report of a purse snatcher on Wetherole around 6pm, and local stores have been robbed. Crime is up everywhere. Having less crime than other areas of NY doesn't mean we should take safety for granted. Park Slope is fairly safe, but has been I the news with the rapist(s) in the area

Here is the Wetherole/Jewel info

2 TOOK GOLD AT GUNPOINT
Seek Armed Bandits For Local Stickups
by Robert PozaryckiThe two sketches of the bandits sought for a pair of recent armed holdups on the streets of Rego Park and Forest Hills.
Two armed bandits are wanted by police for a pair of recent stickups on the streets of Forest Hills and Rego Park, it was reported.Both of the suspects were described by law enforcement sources as Hispanic males between 20 and 25 years of age. One of the men was described as standing at 5’7”-tall, weighing 140 lbs. and wearing a red baseball cap, a white t-shirt and blue jeans.
The other perpetrator reportedly stands at 5’11”-tall, weighs 200 lbs., wore a blue baseball cap, blue t-shirt, blue pants and was spotted carrying a black firearm.
Authorities said the two men allegedly held up a male victim on Wetherole Street between 65th Road and 66th Avenue at around midnight on Friday, Aug. 26.
Reportedly, the crooks approached the victim and demanded property at gunpoint. After removing a cell phone, jewelry and cash, the duo fled from the scene.
Two days later, police said, the bandits struck again by holding up a victim on Jewel Avenue near 110th Street in Forest Hills at around 3:10 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 28.
With one of the bandits brandishing a firearm, the perpetrators reportedly removed a necklace from the victim and fled from the scene. Police said they were observed entering a white, late-model, four-door Cadillac with New York license plates.
Members of the 112th Precinct responded to each caper. No injuries were reported.
Anyone with any information regarding the two robberies or the suspects’ whereabouts that could prove helpful is asked to contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-577- TIPS, by text message to 274637 (enter information, followed by the code TIP577) or online at http://www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

the stats are misleading. It shows Inwood and Washington Heights as being the safest areas in the city. LOL. Greenwich Village is the least safest? COME ON.
Looking at overall crime, yes, the number is higher in The Village than Washington Heights, but does that mean it's safer uptown. Overall crime includes GL (shoplifting) and GLA (auto theft). If you take these components out, you are less likely to get assaulted, raped and murdered in The Village than uptown.

How'd you manage to read the stats? I got a popup on the DNA site, and couldn't close it.

Crime statistics are flawed; they are judged by the amount of crime recorded in a neighborhood. If the police patrolled the neighborhood as much as areas with "higher crime rates", our neighborhood's stats would spike upward. Instead, we have a relatively slow police precinct. A newspaper's credibility diminishes, in my opinion, when they report something they know already is a flawed statistic. That diminishes their credibility in my opinion.
The Queens Chronicle is not in the business of promoting which neighborhood is more safe than another. This may be news that's relevant to the area, but seeing as how it's from a local newspaper, it's more of a newsy-type advertisement for our neighborhood. That, in turn, could give us a higher population in the area they happen to serve, which generates a higher profit for the Queens Chronicle, granting them more government funding.
...Their newsroom ethics smell a bit funny.
