Under state law, a sex offender is allowed to live anywhere so long as the registry has their current address; only offenders who are still on parole are barred from living within 1,000 feet of a school.
“No residency-restricted sex offenders are residing at these locations — and all individuals residing at these locations are permitted to reside there under state law,” a DHS spokesman said.
“The City of New York places all clients in appropriate locations in accordance with state law — and we provide shelter to New Yorkers experiencing homelessness regardless of background.
“This includes helping people rebuild their lives and grow through second chances as they get back on their feet. New Yorkers experiencing homelessness are our neighbors — and the notion that they are not welcome in some neighborhoods for any reason is an affront to basic decency.
“We don’t discriminate based on people’s previous experiences or backgrounds, and we will not create gated communities within our city — we extend a helping hand, no matter what.
“Now more than ever, these services and supports, this empathy and humanity, are essential, across all communities, across the five boroughs — and our commitment to providing them to those in need must be unwavering.”

Looks like Florida will be a blue state by time the Mayor is out of office
“Looks like Florida will be a blue state by time the Mayor is out of office”.
The blue’s are going to CT and NJ.
What the hell is UWS? It isn’t mentioned in the article and I do not (thank God) live anywhere near New York City.
The Upper West Side...some of the most expensive residential real estate (on a per square foot basis) on the planet.
Found it “Upper West Side”
Great journalism
You are just supposed to know. ‘Cause New York is the center of the world and all that.
Good
Couldn’t happen to more worthy scum.
Florida is way too hot it reminds them of where they’ll end up ,IN HELL ,LOL
UWS= the Upper West Side of Manhattan.It starts at 59th Street (the southwest corner of Central Park) and goes up to 110th Street (the northwest corner of Central Park).
I’d rather go to outer Mongolia.
My daughter lives in NYC. I learned one thing. Don’t smoke on the street unless you want to be accosted by mentally ill bummers.
But what in the world are we going to do about it? We can’t allow those conditions to exist in America.
“My daughter lives in NYC. I learned one thing. Don’t smoke on the street unless you want to be accosted by mentally ill bummers.”
Same in San Antonio, Tx. River Walk is now pretty much non-smoking so if you go up to street level to smoke, there is a bum in every doorway waiting to ask for a smoke. Usually not mental however and not too pushy.
Wasn’t it Obama that said elections have consequences.
Somehow I do not feel any sorrow for those on the Upper West Side who elected DeBlasio as their mayor.
Enjoy the squalor.
Center of the world? Hell, they think they are the center of the universe.
As a buddy of mine put it, they were the only major city to fall to a foreign power near the start of the American Revolution and remain as such until the end. And so they have been ever since.
Fwiw, the bloodiest race riot in history took place in New York at the close of the Battle of Gettysburg and victorious Union troops had to march there to put it down. Only the lineup of the races at war and those victimized have changed with some interludes such as Chief of Police Teddy Roosevelt and Mayor Rudi Giuliani has there been some semblance of order.
Just like Jupiter swept the trash from the solar system, New York attracts the trash of America. It’s where criminals go for easy pickings. As such it serves a useful purpose. That and the endless rounds of entertainment from the New York politicians.
We should nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...
