> Brown?s new Applied Math Building, on the corner of George and Hope Streets, is nearly finished. Academic use will begin in late September. This project is a predecessor to the new Engineering Building, which will occupy a space on Brook Street between George and Waterman Streets, in front of the current Barus & Holley building. Brown is also renovating and updating the former Bannister House, at 93 Benevolent Street, as part of the ?Brown to Brown? program. When the house is complete, it will be sold to current Brown faculty or staff, contributing to the vibrancy of the neighborhood and returning the property to City tax rolls.
>
>
> Although more than three-quarters of Brown students live on campus, we understand that neighbors occasionally have concerns about off-campus students. All Brown students living off campus are registered with Brown?s Office of Residential Life, and are held accountable to Brown's code of conduct. The University reviews infractions of the code of conduct and works with students to reinforce community expectations through a variety of corrective options.
>
>
> If you experience unusual noise or disruptions from Brown students off campus, please contact the Providence Police Department. Brown?s Department of Public Safety works in tandem with the PPD to handle any problems. All reports of police activity are sent to Brown?s Office of Residential Life, and students are held accountable for their actions. If you have concerns about Brown students off campus, please contact Kate Tompkins in the Office of Residential Life at 863-3500 or kate_tompkins at brown.edu.

> In addition, here are a few notable dates for fall:
>
>
> ? September 20: Second Annual Thayer Street Art Festival. Local artists, live music, kids' activities, and great food. [10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday]
>
>
>
> ? September 22 at noon: Brown Environmental Health & Safety will perform a test of their audible warning siren, which can be heard by the surrounding community.
>
>
>
> ? October 16 - 18: Family Weekend. Students? families are invited to visit campus for a ?taste of Brown.? Feel free to root for the home team as Brown Football and Field Hockey each take on Princeton on Saturday, October 17 at noon: Football at the Brown Stadium on Elmgrove Ave, and Field Hockey at the Goldberger Family Field off of Lloyd Ave, near Hope St.

> As Brown?s Community Liaison, I can keep you informed about campus issues of neighborhood interest, including building projects and community events. To sign up for occasional emails with neighborhood updates or for any other issues, please contact me at 863-3717 or katie_silberman at brown.edu. I also invite you to sign up for Brown?s ?Featured Events? email to enjoy events on campus such as speakers, films and concerts; follow our Twitter account @brownandprov; and like our Facebook page, Brown & Providence.

> In partnership with the Brown Bookstore, we're proud to announce the opening of the new "Brown Shops Local" pop-up shop. Curated by local independent gift shop Frog & Toad, the pop-up shop features Rhode Island-made jewelry, gifts, prints, and other treats. Stop by when you're on Thayer Street -- it's inside the Brown Bookstore, next to Blue State Coffee.

So now I'm wondering if I'm liable if, say, a previous owner of my house planted the tree that is now heaving the sidewalk. (I really don't know who planted the tree.)
