Bronx business leaders beseeched Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday for help against rising crime and declining quality of life, including competition from illegal street vendors \u2014 who made their own pitch to Hizzoner.<\/p>\n

Directors of eight of the borough\u2019s 11 Business Improvement Districts plus reps from the Bronx Chamber of Commerce met with de Blasio at Roberto Clemente Plaza in the South Bronx, according to Third Avenue BID head Michael Brady.<\/p>\n

The huddle \u2014 part of de Blasio\u2019s weeklong tour of the Boogie Down under the \u201cCity Hall in Your Borough\u201d initiative \u2014 came less than a week after Brady and other leaders at the area\u2019s \u201cHub\u201d district sent a letter to de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson decrying lawlessness in the area.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the group \u201cvoiced quality of life and business concerns to the Mayor, specifically in the area of illegal vending, homelessness, drug use and sale, and general<\/a> inefficiencies in services,\u201d Brady told The Post.<\/p>\n

For his part, de Blasio vowed targeted reviews not just in the Bronx but citywide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mayor indicated that City Hall would establish a corridor-by-corridor walk-thru with agency commissioners to address specific concerns, first handling \u2018hot spots\u2019 in the five boroughs,\u201d Brady said. \u201cThe mayor also indicated that the civilian response could only do so much for [illegal] vending and that enforcement and joint operations are the next step.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about the meeting, a City Hall spokesman \u2014 who noted he was not in attendance \u2014 said that de Blasio\u2019s message wasn\u2019t that the civilian response to illegal vending was limited, but rather that it would just be the beginning.<\/p>\n

During the Roberto Clemente Plaza visit, de Blasio also met with about a dozen unlicensed street vendors to hear their side of the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spoke to the mayor and we expressed to him the needs [of] street vendors, that vendors are asking just for a way to be able to formalize their businesses,\u201d said Carina Kaufman-Gutierrez, deputy director of the Urban Justice Center\u2019s Street Vendor Project. \u201cNobody wants to work in fear. Nobody wants to work in a way that\u2019s outside the system. Everybody wants to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The end of the public event was marred by a foul-mouthed protester in a \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d t-shirt who yelled at police before flipping multiple tables and getting arrested.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t care about us. You come out here for this but you\u2019re never out here for us,\u201d the man railed at cops working the event. \u201cThe police are f\u2013king us up.\u201d<\/p>\n

His identity was not immedia<\/a>tely known.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
