Junkies and bums arent gonna pay a single ticket

[rubencanales]

Activists should fight for the victims of crimes and not criminals who get arrested

[Theworldsboro]

Good. Quality of life sucks in a lot of areas. Especially low income neighborhoods. They deserve better.

[dannybx]

Should of been done since Giuliani era.

[jessie]

I don't see this "quality of life" unit doing anything about illegal evictions.

This is just them stealing more overtime. Why didnt they crackdown on the license plates or mopeds without this, the license plate thing was like a few days just one month. Have random checks at the choke points, its not hard to figure that out.

get those loud af dominicans and their cars

The natives will become restless once the weather warms. Another bloody NYC summer

[danieldelacruz]

This unit should be going after slum landlords and real estate ppl who be overcharging plp on rents and making nyc into a worse crisis

[PHATTrocadopelus]

Ah, the gang is back to their old tricks. Countdown to the continued police abuse!

Can you visit Sheepshead Bay Area in Brooklyn. East 16 St between Ave X and Ave Y and surrounding areas? Huge trucks parked illegally all the time

[stevenzelinski]

We try to make things better and people still talk crap.

[cocoloco]

I will believe it when i see it...Don't hold your breath people...don't be a sucka...

[jonrevere]

they just gonna go after the working class for whatever pettines of a violation they can muster up and leave the real criminals in peace like they always do.

[hopolo]

when society gives you panhandlers, make pancakes.

[NANCYNDT]

Polices catch them and the liberal judges let them out

"Escape from New York" & "Escape from LA" are filled with career criminal politicians who want to be famous. ✌️😆😂🤣 The next franchise installment will be called "Escape from D.C."

[MJ-xnnv]

Great 👍 now let’s get rid of bars near residences and loud neighbors!

The illegal parking in Bus stops is out of control, it makes boarding a Bus unsafe as we have to walk into the street to get on

The pendulum swung back again. In 80s and early 90s quality of life enforcement helped take care and decrease the larger crimes.
