Exclusive video shared with News 12 gives a closer look at the unwelcomed visitors neighbors say have been invading their building for more than a year.<\/p>\n
Tenants inside 1208 Franklin Ave. said the issues include squatters sleeping in the building and using the hallways as a bathroom. <\/p>\n
NYC 311 reports for “trespassing” at the building date back to June 2025, but neighbors said it has been going on for much longer. <\/p>\n
“Every time I walk in with my kids, I feel scared sometimes, because maybe they overdose. I don’t know what they can do to me,” said one neighbor named Yomersy. <\/p>\n
Another neighbor who asked to remain anonymous said they have called police, but the response doesn’t last.<\/p>\n
“They’ll do a walk-through, they’ll leave, but they won’t be back unless you call them again. And who wants to keep calling the cops every day?\u201d asked the neighbor.<\/p>\n
More videos neighbors shared with News 12 on Tuesday show people having sex in the first-floor hallway and others sleeping near the elevator with their pants almost off. <\/p>\n
Neighbors said they have complained about the unsafe conditions to the building’s management, but their calls for help are being ignored.<\/p>\n
“I even had to call the super, like I’m here and I feel scared because I have two kids…but they say, \u2018Yeah, OK.’ They don’t do nothing,” said Yomersy.<\/p>\n
The building’s management declined to comment on the issue and refused to connect News 12 with anyone who could provide any answers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exclusive video shared with News 12 gives a closer look at the unwelcomed visitors neighbors say have been…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":229483,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-229482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
