Williamsburg Girl Found Safe, Went Missing Monday Afternoon

Leailany Ortiz (NYPD)

Nov. 7, 2018 Staff Report

A 12-year-old girl who went missing on Monday has been found, according to police.

Leailany Ortiz, from the Williamsburg Houses, was reported missing on Nov. 5 while she made her way home from school in the afternoon.

An NYPD spokesperson said today that Ortiz returned home and is now safe.

While the 12-year-old’s disappearance occurred earlier this week, police had erroneously sent out a report yesterday that said Ortiz had been missing since September.

An NYPD spokesperson said the Sept. 13 date attached initially attached to her disappearance was not related, and was sent out in error.

 

Note: A prior version of this article listed information on Ortiz’s disappearance provided by the NYPD, which was erroneous. The article has now been updated with recent information on the case.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
