When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.It is our understanding that it was several bullets by an intoxicated individual inside his garage which mostly landed in the side of a taxi parked on the street unoccupied. The individual was arrested and there is no threat to the community.

Years ago, sanitation trucks carried brooms and a shovel. Not only would they clean my corne sewer, they would clean up anything that spilled from the pails or truck. We usually swept our sewer for drainage, especially during storms. Nobody cares anymore. It's easier to complain.
We also need more rain gardens to absorb excess rainwater. We should have them on every block.
My Grandfather worked for the Sanitation department. When he came to this country. His job was a "Street Sweeper" and all done by hand. He was proud to have a job that supported his family.

Combination of corrupt and lazy city employees.
Been saying that all along - if the ‘catch basins’ were cleaned more often, this problem would not occur. The late Assemblyman John Flack who represented the area for years always wrote letters. These days our Elected either don’t care or know how to get action. Rain wasn’t just invented. Clean the ‘catch basins’ and put a screen over them to curtail the garbage. Sanitation could monitor the screens on their route. Keep in mind, years ago we had real street cleaners. These days, we have mechanical sweepers that go 70mph in the middle of the street blowing dust! NYC DEP must clean the sewers and taxpayers are entitled for services they pay for and deserve.
I thought it was all climate change.
In some areas, yes. We clear our own catch drains, but it still floods out.
A lot of people are nasty throwing their garbage all over the place. But don't see a lot of street cleaning nowadays. All I keep hearing from sanitation department is buying new cans but nothing about them going around and doing street cleaning. The sewers also haven't been properly maintained. Mayor after mayor only worry about their pet projects but fail to take care of the infrastructure and basic need like street cleaning.
It also people who don't sweep the curb in front of their homes. Rain washes the trash, leaves down to the corner catch basins. The other day, walking up an inclined street, a guy washing his car from an open hydrant- water gushing down the street along the curb taking everything with it toward the sewer. Friend lives on a corner with a catch basin is constantly picking up the crap on top of it.
Imagine if our high taxes and thousands of municipal workers were used to do this.
WHY is the city not doing this?!!
Make illegals clean that out if they want to stay here.
Fine residents for not cleaning public property???? Seriously???? This is what our tax dollars are supposed to go for! NOT FREE BRIADWAY TICKETS FOR KUDS OR AIR CONDITIONERS FOR OEOPLE IN PUBLIC HOUSING!!! Yes I ckean the street in front of ny house and shovel the ealk. But on a corner house with more property and higher taxes the city should make DAMN sure thise sewers are clear and IF NOT the homeowner should NEVER be fined! You wanna get unemployment down? You wanna get the homeless off the street and on their feet? Create these jobs! POLITICIANS NEED TO DO THEIR JOBS. STOP FINING US HARD WORKING TAX PAYERS!!!
Clean the catch basins and stop greenlighting overdevelopment.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said that the city is exploring "every single avenue" it has to address persistent flooding after parts of Brooklyn and Queens wereRegular cleaning of sewers and of trash on the roads, which flows into sewer drains would help.
Smaller storm drains slots. WAY more pigs littering & dumping. Maintenance under the storm drain grates is NO longer done. The vast majority of NYCs sidewalks are not busy (few pedestrians). Put the bike lanes on those sidewalks. Increased safety for bicyclists. They won’t be as subject to deadly vehicles. Doors opening & winding up under a vehicle. Vehicles moving into bicyclists path, often resulting in serious injury & death. Then the storm drains slots can go back to the proper size.
🤣🤣🤣It’s only a 100 billion dollar fix. Just ask the rich people to fix it. Oh… Enjoy getting what you voted for. Pure incompetence.
Bet he doesnt do shit about it....it doesnt fit into his agenda of destroying our city
Mandummy is lying
