UPS has refused to deliver packages directly to two Staten Island apartment complexes—Park Hill and Fox Hill—since 2006, citing driver safety after past assaults. Residents, 99% of whom are non-white, allege the policy discriminates based on race and class, forcing them to wait at a daily drop-off point. A federal lawsuit argues this violates fair housing laws, as UPS delivers to predominantly white neighborhoods without similar restrictions.

The 120th Precinct reports violent crime has plummeted since the 1990s, undermining UPS’s original justification for the policy.
