The 100-168 West 121St STREET Resident Block Association

The West 121st Street Association’s (W121RBA) goal is to enhance the quality of life on West 121st Street. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization since 2016, we’ve worked with business owners, property owners, residents, elected officials, city agencies, and law enforcement to address issues such as noise, safety, and beautification.

What We Do

• We address issues in our community such as: neighborhood services, safety, healthcare, gerrymandering, elderly care, redistricting, gun violence, probation, crime, rehabilitation, needle distribution, zoning & planning, pets, childcare, and education.

• Engage in public advocacy on local concerns by hosting community forums to encourage public discussion.

• Work with elected officials on community decisions.

• Improve the streetscape through creating a new streetscape plan and raising funds; planting and maintaining tree and flower beds, cleaning sidewalks, and removing graffiti and flyers.

• Bring together residents, businesses, and institutions through websites, meetings, newsletters, and events.

• Publicize businesses and cultural institutions within the neighborhood.

• Address safety, security, and sanitation concerns.

What We’ve Accomplished

• Fostered communication among residents, educational institutions, city agencies, elected officials, and law enforcement through the West 121st Street Neighborhood Network.
