I stayed here from 06 to 07 and forgot to leave a review…read more 1. Let me begin by saying everything is free and they never ask for a tip. Most of the hotels I've stayed in pretty much expect tips and the food is always a bit overpriced- not at Rikers. You can pay extra for "commissary" which is basically junk food and extra toiletries. 2. My vacation started at 100 centre street after two gentlemen and the court system as a whole, decided I should quit my gainful-tax paying lifestyle and spend a few years in the care of the correction institution of NY. Apparently, using prescription medication without a prescription warrants this. I was chained to another fine vacationer and we were swiftly taken by bus to Rike's. I give the bus experience 4 stars for value (it was free) but 1 star for the unfriendly staff. 3. Surprisingly great water pressure and shower temperature. 4. Very roomy and yet cosy cots. 5. The bread (served at every meal time) must be some type of local artisanal or ethnically appropriate recipe because it's unlike most store bought bread or any I've tasted previously. 6. The rest of the food is normal pseudo-American fair, pasta, beans and rice, etc. nothing to write about really. 7. Book selection for reading is average and I got a lot of reading done. 8. They have card games and chess/checkers, dominos etc for entertaining times with your new found friends. 9. Staff. The staff need retraining in customer service based duties. Especially the white shirted "captains". Not sure what they believe to be a captain of...but it sure isn't making the customers feel welcome. They often curse wear frowny faced scowls....it just generally seems like they don't want to work there. Every now and then (if your lucky) you'll get to see a Broadway type performance art piece featuring a neo-modern take on the classic Ninja Turtles. They come out yelling and cursing and telling everyone to lay face down on the floor....oh boy it's exciting!!! They prefer Donatellos character though using the culturally appropriate Bo or long stick type weapon. As a side note, I'd really like to see more variety in the characters played and such different weapons. All in all if a cultural diverse, but gender specific, lots of free time vacation is your thing (and by that I mean non-Anglo Caucasian) I'd say you'll love it.

Avoid reporting larceny cases here. They simply don't care (or maybe don't want on their precinct's…read morerecord). I came in during a quiet morning to report that my rent checks were stolen and altered after being dropped in a USPS mailbox within their district. I wasn't expecting a full investigation -- I just wanted the incident on record, thinking it might help prevent future cases. While the sergeant I initially spoke with when I walked in was polite, the rest of the experience was disappointing. I waited for over an hour while being told they were "busy" by the booking officer who set there doing other things, effectively ignored, yet I could clearly hear joking around and saw multiple officers and detectives walking back and forth. I was the only person there trying to report a crime, and eventually I just left. Maybe the response is different if you've been physically assaulted, but for larceny crimes, don't expect much to anything. As someone who has always supported law enforcement, this experience genuinely made me lose some respect especially for my neighborhood precinct.

Welp. Some low life stole my iPhone wallet with my license and cards in it. I had to go down to…read morethe precinct to file a complaint. Luckily the place wasn't crowded that evening so the process was rather quick. The officers were polite and very helpful. Detective Stewart took me through the step by step process and thoroughly explained what would happen and followed up with me thereafter. The person was apprehended and I just needed to give this precinct and Detective Stewart a big shout out. I know that there is a love hate relationship with the PD but they put their lives on the line every single day and witness unfathomable things on a daily basis. These officers at this precinct treated everyone with dignity from the homeless person filing a report to me and another person. There was absolutely no difference in quality of care or etiquette. I applaud them. It isn't easy being in a field where you are the every day heroes doing great things for people every single day but you get condemn for the actions of some bad apples and have to suffer the consequences. But I digress. I'm grateful. I appreciate you. Keep up the good work!

These are the same cops who do NOTHING if you call and tell them there's a cat being abused, or being kept in a cold basement without food, or being forced to deliver kittens over and over so the deli peeps can hand them out to their friends. Or even a kitten stuck in a gutter. But they couldn't wait to get their mugs on the news for the hand over of Jabar back to his "owner." I used to be able to get deli owners to give me their cats for vetting, vaccines, and spay/neuter with the idea that the health dept wanted that, but now that cops actually RETURNED an unvetted kitten back to the deli, they know that's not true. Thanks for worsening NYC's stray cat crisis, NYPD!

We have well over 1400 apartments in Four High Rise buildings. There's definitely multi resident in apartments or you couldn't afford the two bedroom.

Long story short: I live in NYC... I started to notice packages go missing from the lobby of my East Village apartment several months ago -- either my own package, or those of my neighbors (based the ransacked boxes left behind). At first I assumed there was a delivery problem, but after repeat occurrences as well as sightings of suspicious characters lurking around the building -- literally hanging out in the bushes out front, or standing in the lobby smoking cigarettes... Despite multiple complaints to the building's live-in super as well as the management company (shout out Gatsby Enterprises, your 1-star review is coming next), this issue continues to persist, with the most recent incident occurring about an hour ago... So here I am, writing a glowing review for the NYPD 9th precinct while sitting in the NYPD 9th precinct for my 4th time over the past ~6 months. While the fact that I have to be here right now is frustrating, I couldn't ask for better treatment and service. The officers, detectives and staff have been extremely helpful every time I've been in here -- even the times where I only had $10 worth of goods stolen (but wanted to file a report either way, to create a paper trail). I wrongfully assumes that filing these reports would be a painstaking process, but it's been quite the opposite: each and every time I come in, the team treats me with so much respect and takes my issue seriously, even though I'm sure they have much bigger fish to fry. I've never been made to feel silly or unimportant and I've consistently felt as though my safety was their top priority. While I hope others do not have to experience this business, I want people to know that they're in great hands if they do. Thank you to the 9th precinct and all of the NYPD for their service.
