Sanitation & Quality of life

What christopher has done

• Expanded sanitation services across the district

  • Funded cleaning services to sweep streets and collect sidewalk litter along major corridors in SoHo and on the Lower East Side

  • Advocated successfully with Council Members to restore the Department of Sanitation’s budget cuts that had been in place during the peak of the pandemic

  • Built better relationships between the Department of Sanitation and small business owners so immigrant-run businesses are more aware of regulations and how to do their part

  • Purchased new trashbins that will reduce overfill, spillage, and rats on street corners

  • Brought the Department of Health and Sanitation on multiple site visits to help residents and agencies identify rat mitigation techniques, and hosted Rat Academy classes to educate the public about how to stop rats
