Drug dealers in Washington Heights are peddling product out of a sketchy black van — driving up business for a state-sanctioned narcotics shooting gallery only a few blocks away, neighbors and eyewitnesses said.
“I’ve lived here for 25 years on this block, and I want to move because it’s crazy,” said one long-time resident who works across the street. More than 3,100 people have visited OnPoint’s “overdose prevention centers” and used its facilities over 68,000 times since opening in November 2021, according to its website.OnPoint has said that it relies on private funding because legally it cannot collect taxpayer dollars to run an overdose prevention center.
Rodrigo Caballero, a former NYPD detective who covered Washington Heights for more than a decade, said that despite the safe injection sites’ efforts to “do good,” they are causing “an eroding effect” by drawing drug activity and accompanying lawlessness in the area that is beyond the staff’s control.
