Big Stink at Roosevelt Landings

Residents of Roosevelt Landings on Roosevelt Island are facing a sanitation crisis that goes beyond dog waste to include human excrement. With no public restrooms available mid-island, the burden falls on the community to clean up. The lack of basic facilities and neglect is not just an inconvenience, but a pressing public health issue that local authorities must urgently address.
