it’s a real pity too because a lot of the new buildings are quite posh, if they got rid of the strip club on queens plaza north that would go quite a ways in making the area better

As a resident of the neighborhood…I can’t wait until the owners get cited or the city decides to send over a cleaning crew to take care of that problem. One would think that the Comfort Inn on that block would take the initiative and just clean it up, as it is their current hotel guests that look at the area right when they step out of their building. This would lead to negative reviews on hotel rating sites. CLEAN IT UP FOR GOSH SAKES! IT’S AN ABSOLUTE MESS AND GIVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD A TERRIBLE REPUTATION!!

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
