Mayor Adams baffles most New Yorkers.

He must have a very low standard of what clean is supposed to be.

Filthy compared to what? Downtown Philly or DC where people only exist in substantial numbers between 9am-5pm Monday-Friday? Sure, but it's not Calcutta or anything.

Somebody needs to do a clean up on their block, put all the trash in a dump truck, and drop it on his block.

> Inspectors visit blocks each month and assign a score ranging from “acceptably clean” to “filthy” based on the amount of litter. That score is then extrapolated to apply to an entire sanitation district.

I mean I could see that. What are the other buckets?

If it's a dichotomy clean vs filthy, no. But in my experience most are just dirty to very dirty, few cross into filthy

toastedclown t1_iu0pbah wrote

To be fair he is probably talking about the 2% of streets that are still recognizable as streets and probably mistook the others for a public dump.

It's an understandable mistake, considering that wherever he lives they probably have a modern trash collection system instead of piling it all up on the sidewalk like NYC does.

Unbelieavable. So they go to a random street, then apply that to a whole sanitation district.

Even the tourists know this city is full of invisible boundaries, where 5 blocks in one direction can be completely the opposite of what’s 5 blocks in the opposite direction.

🤔 Mayor Adams and his office need to get better vision coverage because clearly they got vision problems….

Mayor Adams does not seem to value the perceptions of New Yorkers. Yes, many streets are filthy and yes, the subways have become increasingly dangerous.

Mayor, New Yorkers do not believe in alternative facts!

The only stat I would find remotely believable is “less than 100%.” Because there has to be at least 1.

Obscene not to include 311 complaints into the data, but just as NYPD ignores them seems like DSNY doesn't want to deal with or record or be held accountable to complaints either.

The block I live on is squeeky clean. People make an absolute mess of it all the time, but the building management and businesses around are cleaning it pretty much 18 hours a day or something.

So if I don't venture too far, I, too, can live in this imaginary world full of rainbows and unicorns!

It’s too early to know for sure (the next mayoral election will be in 2025) but I’d be surprised if he didn’t have a challenger. There will definitely BE a primary election, but who will be on the ballot is very much TBD.

With how large and varied NYC neighborhoods and boroughs are, I call BS on this statistic.

Across all 5 boroughs, there are 120,000 blocks

This "survey" looks at 6,900 of them, a whopping 5.75% /s

I tried looking at the map on the Department of Sanitation Website and it doesn't seem to make sense. For instance:

Click on the "Streets rated acceptably clean (%)" in the Related Indicators

Then click look at the the section that is directly adjacent to the Eastern side of Prospect Park (Brooklyn 09), it shows 76% and 309 streets rated as "Acceptably Clean."

Now go back up and click on "Streets rated filthy"

That same area is 3.6% and says 309 streets rated as "Filthy"

​

Something is weird here.

​

I would love to see a map of every street and block they surveyed, and out of those which ones were rated filthy and which ones were clean.
