Stop adding more social services to zip code 10035. Department of Mental Health placed 600 patients in SROs in zip code 10035. This is 5.6% of all New York State’s patients. New York State is considering adding 100 more patients to zip code 10035, bringing the % from 5.6% to 6.4% in Timbale Terrace
