The 110th Precinct has heard your concerns and is taking action. Today a truckload of scooters that had been confiscated were picked up and dropped off at the "graveyard" to be destroyed. Det. Saponieri, 110th Precinct Community Affairs, wanted to share these photos with you. Great Job!! Just a reminder to keep an eye out for these destructive Lanternflies. They are known to kill trees, shrubs and crops.
They are not known to bite humans and can be killed by stepping on them or swatting them but they are fast. Rather than using toxic chemicals, Lanternfly bugs can be easily killed using a mixture of dish soap. Dawn dish soap is effective at controlling these bugs though any brand of dish soap works. Though it is not a completely natural method to get rid of lanternflies, it is much safer for children, pets and even adults. A lot of people prefer using Dawn dish soap to kill lanternflies as it kills them on contact'. We received this email below from an alert Maspeth resident. Please folks, if you're going to mail a letter in a mailbox please check to make sure there's no sticky substance on it.
"I called Postal Inspector re sticky substance on mailbox 72 ST & 53 RD, was told they'd contact my local PO. 2 days later I got a call from Maspeth PO thanking me, & saying as it was Saturday they'd have maintenance clean it Monday. This AM, Tuesday, when I got to the box, the slot had been cleaned." Someone responded with these helpful tips: 1) Never mail a check or anything with sensitive information through one of those blue mail boxes. 2) Go inside the post office to mail anything sensitive or send it overnight through UPS or FedEx. 3) Pay as many bills directly through your bank or set up an ach through your biller's system. I find Autopay is the safest way to pay Con Ed, National Grid, etc. and I don't have to worry about being late. 4) If you must write checks, get a pen that makes it difficult to "scrub". Most banks will supply you with one. 5) Get direct deposit for all incoming checks. 6) Use systems like Zelle for small payments but make sure you know the person you are "Zelling". Never respond to a stranger claiming to be a vendor demanding a Zelle payment or your routing number and account numbers or gift cards. 7) No, your grandson is not stuck in France with no money or credit card. Be careful, the scanners are smart. Evil, but smart. There are a lot of upcoming events in Maspeth and we hope you can all attend and support our local businesses and organizations. You can check them out on Maspeth on Federal's website

The 110th Precinct heard your concerns and advised us that the problematic cars along 85th Street were towed. Three were removed from the dead end closer to the LIE and two in the vicinity of 55th Avenue. Below is one of the photos DI Portalatin passed along to us.
