@cbsnewyork: It's easy to complain about litter in New York City, but how many people actually do something about it? When one man recently spotted a Brooklyn eyesore near his commuter rail stop, he took matters into his own hands. He called out 311 on social media and it ended up being a call to action for himself.

Mamdani effect. When you have faith your city, pride in your city, you're motivated to do service for your city

The NYC Sanitation needs to revised their rules! Nonsense! Need to appoint someone to go visit the site at least next day!

I have an idea. Why not have a running accessible database of every reported city issue, allow citizens to work as a 1099 contractors, pick and choose which ones they want to do or help with and pay them for it? Think of it like doing Door Dash but for cleaning up and beautifying the city.

I hope he runs for council or some other local office before going for the ring.

7 days is actually a great policy. This way they have 7 days to help people who need services to clear out. I’m glad he took initiative but the city policy is 100% there to protect people (yes homeless people are people).

BIG UP TO HIM ,for taking the initiative, and actually doing something about it. If you want something done you gotta do it yourself these days. You can’t wait around on other people to do it and there’s only so many workers. Yeah, I would be very proud of him if he was my son

He’s very handsome. He also cares about his community. If he’s single, young ladies this is the type of man you should be looking towards as a significant other
