So look, your 311 app is probably lookin’ real familiar these days, 'cause according to the latest data, New Yorkers are *pissed* about potholes and not havin' heat. Deadass, "Street Condition / Pothole" is number one with over five thousand requests. Five thousand! That’s like, enough potholes to swallow a whole block in Astoria, right? And right behind it, "HEAT/HOT WATER / ENTIRE BUILDING" is clockin' in at 4,566 calls. Yea, that’s almost four-and-a-half thousand buildings where folks are tryin' to take a cold shower in January. That’s just… not right.
Meanwhile, while we're all freezin' and bouncin' down the Grand Central Parkway, you got firms like Constantinople & Vallone Consulting LLC and Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP still doin' their thing on the lobbyist registry for folks like ZB Pearl LLC and Cong. Elimulei Torah, with their entries good through 2026. Nah, I ain't sayin' they shouldn't do their jobs, but it's just a reminder of where the focus often lies. We gotta see if City Hall actually starts patchin' these streets and fixin' these boilers before next winter.
That's New York — if you can't keep up, take the bus.
