Most of the vending, legal and illegal, is happening on 8th Avenue, between 48th and 61st Streets, where reports have been made of vendors selling food, including raw fish, and using makeshift kerosene tanks to sell cooked meals.
Residents expressed concerns that their complaints to the Sanitation Department and reports to 311 were not adequately addressed, with responses including summons and fines deemed insufficient.
Deputy Inspector Eddie Lau and DSNY Superintendent David Diorio advised residents to continue calling 311 for faster responses to complaints, emphasizing the importance of gathering more data for improved action.
