June 6, 2024---PEEKSKILL HERALD

“I don’t want to have to move, I really don’t. I love my apartment.” – A Peekskill Plaza resident, speaking to the Herald this week.

Three weeks after a story in the Peekskill Herald reported on crime in a downtown Peekskill apartment building committed by homeless trespassers, including allegations of drug dealing and prostitution, new security measures have been added but some residents are still living in fear for their safety.

And, the Herald has learned that Peekskill Police average nearly one call a day to Peekskill Plaza, at 901 Main St., constantly investigating reports of unwanted people, suspicious activity, disputes, harassment and disorderly groups. 

At the same time, the owner of the building is planning on selling the property to another group that intends to keep operating the site as subsidized affordable housing. MUCH MORE AT Safety, security concerns persist at Peekskill Plaza – Peekskill Herald
