(the neighborhood is patrolled by the NYPD’s ’79th’ and ’81st’ precincts)
(in the ‘City Council’, the district is represented by ‘Robert Cornegy’ of the ’36th Council District’)
(‘Bedford–Stuyvesant’ is bordered by ‘Flushing Avenue’ to the north (bordering ‘Williamsburg’), ‘Classon Avenue’ to the west (bordering ‘Clinton Hill’), ‘Broadway’ to the east (bordering ‘Bushwick’), and ‘Atlantic Avenue’ to the south (bordering ‘Crown Heights’ and ‘Brownsville’))
