Williamsburg’s 90th police precinct has experienced the sharpest rise in crime since last year of any neighborhood in Brooklyn, making some locals nervous.

Of Brooklyn’s police precincts, Williamsburg’s 90th, which encompasses the gentrifying South Side plus its central and east sections, has seen the greatest rise in crime over the past year – 13.49 percent – according to Compstat data.

The neighboring 94th precinct, which includes Williamsburg’s tonier North Side and Greenpoint, has seen a 6.38 percent crime hike – the borough’s second-highest increase.

“We don’t want to overstate the problem,” City Councilwoman Diana Reyna said. “But if we don’t do something, we’re going to have serious problems.”

So far this year, the 90th precinct has seen 294 robberies (up 14.4 percent), 245 burglaries (up 15.5 percent), 384 grand larcenies (up 25 percent), 146 felony assaults (up 10.6 percent) and three murders compared to one from the same time last year.
