The New York City Mayor's Office of Operations issued a report claiming that only 2% of the city's streets are "filthy," baffling residents of the Big Apple.
The office of New York City Mayor Eric Adams evaluates city streets from a scale of 1.0 to 3.0. According to the scale, a score of 3.0 is "a street where litter is highly concentrated along the curbs and overflowing onto the sidewalk."
A rating that is 1.75 or above is considered "filthy," while anything below 1.75 ranges from "acceptably clean" to "not acceptably clean." The responses were recorded by observers who inspect streets in each district every month.
The report, which was last updated on Oct. 20, ranked the Financial District and Upper East Side as the cleanliest districts. Despite the massive amount of tourism near Times Square, only 0.2% of Midtown and Theater District streets were considered filthy, along with 0.78% of Hell's Kitchen streets. Read More...
