Homeless Camp Near Big Tourist Spot Remains Despite Mamdani Deadline

He added, “I feel like he’s saying, ‘Would I be happy with this if it’s me on the street?’”

According to The Post, City Hall did not respond to questions about the status of the cleanup.

Reporters visiting the area on Monday found that much of the encampment, extending from West 34th Street to at least West 49th Street, remained intact. Only a handful of makeshift structures had been removed, including one near the Intrepid Museum.

Sanitation workers and police officers were seen clearing portions of the area, but the cleanup appeared to be progressing gradually.

The pace of the effort contrasts with Mamdani’s stated policy of allowing homeless outreach teams and social service workers seven days to encourage individuals living in sidewalk encampments to relocate before the New York Police Department begins enforcement.
