CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.

Crashes Keep Rising. East Flatbush Bleeds. City Waits.
East Flatbush-Remsen Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025
The Numbers That Don’t Lie
One dead. Eight seriously hurt. In the last twelve months, 252 people have been injured in traffic crashes across East Flatbush-Remsen Village. The deadliest blows fall on the old and the young. A 65-year-old woman was killed crossing with the signal at Rutland Road and E 95th Street this spring. She was crushed by a sedan making a left turn. She never made it to the other side. NYC Open Data
Crashes come steady, not sudden. In just the first half of this year, crashes are up. Injuries are up. The numbers climb while the city waits.
The Human Cost
A man steps into the crosswalk. A car turns. The man does not get up. A cyclist is thrown from his bike at Lenox and Rockaway Parkway. A child is struck crossing with the light. The stories repeat. The pain does not fade.
A relative, after a recent fatal crash, said: “It’s devastating. It’s affecting everyone in our family, especially (Ruiz’s) mom. Maddy was her only daughter.” The grief is bottomless. The street does not care.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Council Member Darlene Mealy co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, aiming to clear sightlines and protect people on foot. The bill sits in committee. No law yet. NYC Council Legistar
State Senator Roxanne Persaud voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. The bill passed committee. It is not yet law. Open States
Assembly Member Monique Chandler-Waterman missed a key vote on extending school speed zones. The silence is loud. Open States
The Next Step Is Yours
Every crash here is preventable. The dead are not statistics. They are neighbors. They are family. Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand action. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
The street remembers. The city forgets. Don’t let them.
