Four noise complaints, a harassment report and one hospital trip topped Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, on Roosevelt Island. The Public Safety Department’s (PSD) 24-hour incident blotter for that day lists 15 incidents, one more than Monday’s 14. None is typed as a crime, and every call was on Main Street.

RIOC posts these daily blotters on its PSD reports page. The Daily reads each one and summarizes it so residents can see what officers and EMS handled overnight and during the day.

What the PSD blotter shows

By type, Tuesday broke down like this:

  • Aided: 4 (one hospital transport, three refused further medical attention)
  • Noise complaint: 4 (three conditions corrected, one unfounded)
  • Investigations Non-Criminal: 2 (report filed both times)
  • Harassment: 1 (report filed)
  • Graffiti: 1 (referred to C&C Management)
  • Juvenile related: 1 (condition corrected)
  • Unsecured premises: 1 (condition corrected)
  • Found property: 1 (secured at PSD)

Notable calls by address

560 Main Street had two aided calls. The first, at 3:11 a.m., ended with the person refusing further medical attention. The second, at 4:43 p.m., was the day’s only hospital transport, and it is the one entry where the blotter lists NYPD responding alongside PSD and EMS. The other two aided calls came in the early hours: 555 Main Street at 12:23 a.m. and 580 Main Street at 1:04 a.m. Both ended with a refusal of further care.

A harassment call at 571 Main Street at 2:10 p.m. ended with a report filed. The blotter gives no other detail.

546 Main Street shows up three times: noise complaints at 12:52 p.m. and 7:28 p.m., both marked condition corrected, and a graffiti report at 1:03 p.m. that PSD referred to C&C Management. The other noise calls were at 540 Main Street at 9:27 p.m. (condition corrected) and 516 Main Street at 11:02 p.m. (unfounded).

The two Investigations Non-Criminal entries were at 556 Main Street at 2:25 p.m. and 310 Main Street at 3:58 p.m., each with a report filed. A juvenile-related call at 460 Main Street at 8:52 a.m. was marked condition corrected, as was an unsecured premises call at 591 Main Street at 2:24 a.m. Found property from 755 Main Street was secured at PSD at 12:34 p.m.

The blotter does not name anyone or say what caused the aided calls. It records time, place, type, who responded, and how each call closed.

What it means for residents

The blotter’s categories are broad, so a single word can hide very different situations. These are general examples of what such entries can cover. They are not claims about Tuesday’s calls.

  • Harassment can mean repeated unwanted calls or messages, a neighbor feud that boiled over in a hallway, or someone being followed or threatened. Some cases are serious, and some are closer to an argument that got written up.
  • Investigations Non-Criminal is a catch-all. It can be a welfare check on a neighbor nobody has heard from, a suspicious package that turns out to be harmless, or a building problem someone wanted on the record.
  • Juvenile related can cover kids skipping school, a child who got separated from a parent, or teenagers gathered somewhere a building did not want them.
  • Unsecured premises usually means a door, gate or storefront left open, often found by an officer on patrol rather than reported by a resident.

Which of these, if any, fits Tuesday’s entries, the blotter does not say. RIOC is slow to answer public records requests, so we likely won’t know what happened at 571 Main Street, 556 Main Street or 310 Main Street for months, unless someone who was there speaks up.

Know what happened at any of these addresses? Tell us in the comments.

Residents have long asked Public Safety to say more about what happens on Main Street; the Lighthouse has tracked that tension in its reporting on PSD parking and Main Street barricades.

New York’s Freedom of Information Law rests on a basic principle: government records belong to the public unless an agency can identify a lawful reason to withhold them. For Roosevelt Island residents, that right matters because RIOC controls public land, infrastructure, transportation, contracts and development without functioning as a locally elected government.
