- Avoid driving or parking in the neighborhood due to extremely narrow streets and limited permit-only spaces; walking or using rideshares is much more efficient.
- Stay alert and stick to well-lit main corridors like 9th Street or South Street when walking at night, as safety can vary significantly from block to block.
- Respect the local 'stoop culture' by keeping noise levels down in residential areas and avoiding sitting on private steps that aren't yours.
