- In the case of Richmond Hill, the torch has been passed to Simcha Waisman, 62, vice president of the neighborhood’s block association. Mr. Waisman’s devotion to neighborhood welfare is legendary; he has been known to stake out freshly painted walls for as long as a week, waiting to catch someone painting graffiti. Mr. Waisman drives a cranberry-colored Expedition, which he says has been so marred by dripping creosote that his detailer now refuses him service.
