Our office is here to assist District 39 constituents with district-related issues and help navigate city agency bureaucracy. We recommend that you file a 311 Complaint or DOT Complaint Form (if applicable) on your issue and reach out to our office with the 311 complaint number(s), photos, addresses, or cross streets related to the issue.

You can call or email our office Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, to report an issue or request assistance.

Our team has revamped our approach to providing constituent services. Now, specific staff members are assigned to neighborhoods within the district. If you’d like to schedule an in-person appointment, please reach out to our Constituent Services team! Appointments are available at our District Office, located at 197 Bond Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217, Monday through Thursday, 10 AM to 4 PM.


On Fridays, we partner with CUNY Citizenship Now! in Kensington (118 Beverley Road, Basement, Brooklyn, NY 11218) to help community members with immigration-related issues from 10 AM to 4 PM. To make an appointment for services, please call 646-664-9400 or 212-652-2071.
