Sadly, many of us woke up this morning to the news of the vandalism at Mansion House on Hicks Street. The BHA was on the scene early in the morning, along with Council Member Lincoln Restler and the NYPD. We hope you'll read our statement below: The Brooklyn Heights Association strongly condemns the vandalism discovered this morning targeting the homes of Brooklyn Museum officials throughout the city, including an apartment building in our neighborhood. Attempts to intimidate and frighten Brooklyn Museum staff, their neighbors and our community at large cannot be considered peaceful protest. We call on our elected officials and community partners to stand with us in condemning these hateful acts, and we thank those who have already spoken out.
