Brooklyn Elected Officials: Dismiss Sanitation Tickets Issued During Coronavirus Pandemic
August 18, 2020
Borough President Eric Adams today joined State Senator Simcha Felder, Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein and Councilman Kalman Yeger, calling on NYC Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia to dismiss all sanitation tickets issued during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the area of the BK12 sanitation garage, covering Midwood and Borough Park, at a time when the Governor and Mayor were urging everyone to stay inside, sanitation agents were aggressively issuing tickets to residents who had not gone outside to clean their sidewalks.
