On June 11, Mayor de Blasio announced the start of a long-overdue security camera installation in six public housing developments around the city. Previously, de Blasio had blamed the city for the lack of security cameras in housing project buildings, calling the delay “unacceptable bureaucracy.” This prolonged issue received greater attention in the wake of the fatal stabbing of a 6-year-old and critical injuring of a 7-year-old who were attacked while on their way to get ice cream at one of the public housing developments on June 1.
