Prospect Lefferts Gardens Neighborhood Association

For more information contact us at info@plgna.org.

PLGNA was incorporated in 1969 by PLG residents who opposed unfair real estate and bank practices like redlining and wanted to form a working interracial neighborhood. One of its first projects was to document 300 abandoned and 300 deteriorating buildings within the neighborhood. In 1973, PLGNA became involved in a landmark legal battle to combat redlining. Over the years, it has helped tenants to organize unions and blocks to form associations; supported safety programs; transported seniors; developed youth programs; and served as an umbrella organization for other neighborhood groups.

PLG Spring Cleaning

Saturday, April 30th was spring cleaning day in PLG! Volunteers fanned out across the neighborhood to “Put Litter & Garbage In Its Place.” Some block associations focused on improving specific blocks. Residents, merchants and neighbors worked hard to make Lincoln Road between Flatbush & Ocean Avenues cleaner & greener. With support from the Citizen’s Committee for NY, the Home Depot, Park Tower Associates, Ocean Ave. LLC, Build It Green, K-Dog & Dunebuggy & the City’s Department of Sanitation, they couldn’t help but succeed!

A Beautiful Neighborhood Is a CLEAN AND AFFORDABLE Neighborhood!

PLG Housing Activists to

Campaign for Renewal of Rent Protections on April 30, 11a.m. at Lincoln Road in front of Prospect Park Station.

Plans are shaping up for Saturday, April 30, our Neighborhood Cleanup Day, to do double duty as a Housing Action Day in support of tenants’ rights. New York City’s rent protections, basic to the stability and affordability of housing for millions of city tenants including many thousands in PLG, are set to expire on June 15, and the battle is on to renew them. In addition to participating in the cleanup, members of the PLGNA Housing Committee in coordination with Met Council on Housing will be fanning out to talk with neighbors about how we can act to get the rent laws renewed and why this action is so crucial to the health and happiness of our unique community.

Activists will gather at 11 a.m. on Lincoln Road in front of the Prospect Park train station, where leaflets and information will be available. The housing event will last until 1 p.m.

For more information about the effort, please contact Jan Clausen (clausenjan@verizon.net).

General information about rent law protections and the legislative fight is available from Met Council on Housing: www.MetCouncil.net.
