DEM Paradise. When blaming the victim is okay.

A college student who was murdered at an East Harlem housing project in 2013 [...]

[...] Crystal Brown, Olivia’s mother, has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city, claiming that her daughter’s death was due to a lack of security in the building. Lawyers for the New York City Housing Authority have argued otherwise, saying that the shooting was “spontaneous” and “unavoidable.” “All the risks, hazards and dangers were open, obvious and apparent to [Brown] and said risks, hazards and dangers were openly and voluntarily assumed by [Brown],” the lawyers wrote in a statement. [...]
I'm not sure how the city can be held responsible. It seems like a backwards argument to blame the victim, one that will upset a jury and force the case to an appeals court which will rule the government is not obligated to protect people.

Deblasio is safe there though?

No need to warn his son about that Housing project, I take it.

If the Murderer was allowed to stay there (or the property) - and was not a resident - the City is responsible.
