“#De Blasio promises ‘Cleanup Corps’ to tackle SoHo graffiti<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday promised his pricey new cleanup crew will tackle the city\u2019s graffiti problem highlighted by The Post\u2019s front-page story on the vandalism in Soho. <\/p>\n

But maybe not for another month.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the question of graffiti, you\u2019re going to see a big impact from the Cleanup Corps. They\u2019re going to be out there, they\u2019re hiring up as we speak,\u201d de Blasio said during his daily press briefing.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to see a particularly strong impact going into July, August as we get ready for everything to come back off the summer,\u201d Hizzoner added. \u201cWe\u2019re going to address the graffiti issue across the board and it\u2019s one of many things we\u2019re doing to bring this city back.\u201d <\/p>\n

De Blasio \u2014 who said he\u2019s \u201cvery proud\u201d of the $234 million initiative \u2014 claimed that hiring 10,000 New Yorkers for the cleaning program will \u201cmake a real impact\u201d when it comes to graffiti in places like Soho.<\/p>\n

Business owners in the ritzy Manhattan neighborhood told The Post an increase in graffiti is keeping customers away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe graffiti isn\u2019t great for walk-in traffic,\u201d said Brianna, a hairstylist at Thomas Taft Salon.<\/p>\n

The comments on the graffiti come as the mayor came under attack from candidates during Wednesday\u2019s mayoral debate for his handling of quality-of-life issues. <\/p>\n

De Blasio on Thursday blamed perception of declining quality of life on the pandemic \u2014 the same excuse he gave for increases in shootings and homelessness and a decrease in the police clearance rate. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all been through something very, very challenging, with COVID, with [a] global pandemic, with a perfect storm of societal dysfunction because \u2026 when hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs, when schools were closed, houses of worship were closed, life ground to a halt, that disrupted everything,\u201d the mayor said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are still, not shockingly, dealing with the impact of that. But we will come out of this,\u201d he went on. \u201cWe will fight back crime as well. I think it\u2019s understandable that people are concerned and want to talk about it.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
