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 There is nothing to be alarmed about. The individual was arrested.

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.That's why I never keep liquor inside of my garage.
This is the actual video recording of the incident that's been getting a lot of attention. Instead of listening to rumors, it's better we see the facts for ourselves in this video. It's short, but it's important so we don't get the wrong idea www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ff4DsZsSL/
Clean the catch basins and watch the water go down.
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

Queens pols want action as borough endures another week of severe flooding — Queens Daily Eagle
queenseagle.com
Queens’ streets were deluged with flood water twice in the last week – an increasingly common problem for borough residents as severe rainstorms become more frequent.So what good are the rain gardens? They are such a waste, plus they are never maintained, They’re always overgrown
Overbuilding has worsened the situation over the years We need infrastructure improvements
And let’s not forget plenty of stealing of our mail, bank cards and don’t renew your license by mail. They stole my check and cashed it. Also made another check out for over $1,000 dollars.
Gary Indiana has no electric for 2 weeks Failing federal govt as well
Maybe, in the meantime, get serious about paved-over yards.
The bigger picture is they want you to move out so you could be replaced. Corporate rentals
This has been a problem for over 50 years and the area prone to this flooding are areas that were swampland and never should have been built on. And places like Juniper Park are that swampland and will never  Absorb the water from a summer storm. This is nothing new and the frequency hasn’t increased. This happens every summer. And to make things worse most of the houses in the areas that are prone to flooding all have illegal apartments in the basement with an illegal bathroom, which adds to those properties flooding. And the driveways with that severe incline into the basement/garage area doesn’t help either. 
White privilege
If we had more illegal immigrants living here, we would!!
