Mayor Eric Adams is keeping his word to tear down outdoor dining sheds that are left abandoned or in bad shape. ThaliaPerezTV reports.
said outdoor dining sheds that are left abandoned or in bad shape will be torn down.
"I have a New York nose. Listen, someone has used this as a urinal, because I can clearly smell it," Adams said. The shed he was referring to is on 32nd Street and Fifth Avenue. It has been abandoned, and with trash and rodents, it has become an eyesore. As Adams symbolically took a sledgehammer to the shed, he reiterated the Open Restaurants program is here to stay. The mayor's office says 100,000 jobs were saved by outdoor dining during the pandemic.
"If it's abandoned, if it's posing a safety hazard, we are here, and we need to hear from you. And from there, we will work together with you to take it down," Velazquez said.
