In New York City, public urination is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, and is covered by Section 16-118 of the Administrative Code. First-time offenders can receive a fine of up to $75, with subsequent offenses within 12 months resulting in fines of $250–$350 for a second offense and $350–$450 for a third offense. Offenders will receive a civil ticket instead of a criminal summons and will not have a criminal record if found guilty. Administrative courts may also require offenders to perform community service.

This is very significant as they're upgrading sidewalk access by installing Pedestrian Ramps for strollers, wheelchairs, and older and or disabled citizens. This area is presently undergoing a huge building boom, and this is another green light for them to continue

Overview of 7 Train Upgrades in Queens

 

The 7 train line, which connects Flushing to Midtown Manhattan, is undergoing significant upgrades in Queens, including at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station. These improvements are part of a broader initiative to enhance the subway system's infrastructure and accessibility.

 

Key Upgrades at 33rd Street–Rawson Street Station

 

Accessibility Improvements

 

ADA Compliance:

The station is currently undergoing renovations to become ADA-accessible. This includes the installation of elevators, which is part of a larger $6 billion investment in accessibility across the subway system.

 

Elevator Installation:

The contract for adding two elevators at the station was awarded in December 2023, with work expected to improve access for all riders.

 

Structural Enhancements

Temporary Platforms: To accommodate construction, temporary platforms have been set up at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station, along with other nearby stations.

 

Service Changes:

As part of the ongoing upgrades, Manhattan-bound 7 trains are skipping the 69th and 52nd Street stations through early 2026. Riders are advised to use nearby stations like 74th Street–Broadway and 61st Street–Woodside during this period.

 

Timeline and Impact

 

Construction Duration:

The upgrades are expected to continue into 2026, with various phases of work being coordinated to minimize disruptions.

 

Customer Experience:

These improvements aim to enhance the overall customer experience by providing better access, improved safety, and modernized facilities throughout the 7 train line.

These upgrades are crucial for ensuring that the subway system meets the needs of all New Yorker's, particularly those requiring accessible transit options.

Just weird. Several times per week I happen upon pairs of shoes just sitting off by themselves. Lately I've seen some even in boxes. This is the second instance of shoes being placed out front of this same house. I don't get it.

Here's the design for the upcoming new building. I really like it

www.caliendoarchitects.com/project-gallery/31-05-astoria-...

 

History of the site:

After 40 years in business the Neptune Diner located in Astoria, Queens, NYC served its last meal on Sunday, July 29. 2024. The owners claimed they were not given a chance to renew their lease, because the property will soon be turned into a residential building.

 

Since 1983, The Katsihtis brothers have owned the building on Astoria Boulevard but not the land, which was sold in 2018 for over $10 million.

 

The brothers also had a 35-year lease which expired in 2019. But since then, they were not able to come to a long-term agreement with the landlord.

But that's what Long Island City/Astoria needs is another apartment building. It's already so overbuilt, it's ridiculous. Yet they keep tearing them down and building new ones, many of which are luxury rentals. The neighborhood is losing its character to steel and glass.

I walk everywhere. To work, back home, shopping, wherever. And along many of my walks I happen upon pairs of shoes just sitting off by themselves. It's just so weird and random. As if whomever was wearing them was just whisked away. Beamed up to the Spaceship. Barefooted or in their stocking feet. Perhaps the aliens don't believe in shoes. Or have no need for them...

The Fifty

Stupid name for a building. Seems these new buildings may be receiving some kind of write off if they think up the dumbest, quirkiest name.

"Keep It Movin'!!", designed by LaGuardia Community College's Fine Arts student Fernanda Contreras, is one of NYC's largest street murals, unveiled on October 6, 2025, on the 29th Street "LaGuardia Community Greenway" in Long Island City, Queens. Covering 17,000 sq ft, it spans 29th Street (between 47th Ave & Skillman Ave) with designs celebrating local subway lines and NYC walkability.
