The NYPD says it\u2019s cracking down on a long-running RV community that\u2019s remained largely out of sight for years in Williamsbridge \u2014 after neighbors complained about illegal dumping and unregistered vehicles along Bronx Boulevard.<\/p>\n
Mobile homes line parts of the street, some up and running with generators, cameras and water tanks \u2014 giving the area the feel of a permanent camp, despite the vehicles\u2019 ability to up and go.<\/p>\n
“There’s nothing wrong with it,” a neighbor told News 12.\u201cIts living in your car that you paid $30,000 for.\u201d But he raised a question others in the neighborhood keep asking, ‘where does their waste water go?’<\/p>\n
Jacob Rodriguez said he regularly walks through urine and trash just to reach his car, and claimed some RV sewer pipes are left open \u2014 allowing waste to drain directly onto the roadway.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople don\u2019t even come and clean the streets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Police say a joint operation with the Department of Sanitation was conducted in January, resulting in 96 towed and 43 vehicles without plates, issued summonses. The NYPD says another operation is planned in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NYPD says it\u2019s cracking down on a long-running RV community that\u2019s remained largely out of sight for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":135585,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,57587,9,24,63,103,21293,129,131,130,7402],"class_list":{"0":"post-135584","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-bronx","9":"tag-encampment","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-nyc","13":"tag-nypd","14":"tag-rv","15":"tag-the-bronx","16":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","17":"tag-the-bronx-news","18":"tag-williamsbridge"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
