The brand new Norman Towers apartments are located at 90-11 160th Street, which was finished last year and people started to move into this nice building. On the bottom floor, the very good Don Nico’s restaurant just opened not that long ago. A nice salon, Salon 161 sits on the bottom of an apartment building at 90-20 161st Street. PP Boy Japan Teriyaki & Sushi is at 90-22 161st Street. And sitting at 90-28 161st Street is Community Board 12 Administrative office. Yet in front of the apartment building at 90-20 161st Street, major garbage is being dumped in the flower bed area and I mean major garbage. More than likely it is coming from the apartment building at 90-20 and probably as people go by are dumping more. But then, maybe the salon is dumping there. No matter what this continuous problem that I have brought up to the powers that be, including Community Board 12 whose office is right down from here, is not being addressed. This garbage, which has gotten bigger, was first seen on Friday (12.18.15) and here it is today (12.20.15) getting bigger.
Jamaica the next hot neighborhood, hell no, if it is going to continue to looks like some third world ghetto shit hole. I mean if something like this can exist in the Downtown area right near Community Board 12 says much about what is wrong with this community.

By the way, The Greater Jamaica Development Corporation is located at 90-04 161st Street, just a few feet away from this mess.
In the meantime, the Mayor has picked Hope Knight, the new president of the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation to sit on City Planning Commission. Councilman I. Daneek Miller in his weekly email blast stated “I know she will represent us well!”. REALLY, like our own elected officials serve this community well and how her and others that work at the GJDC walk by this mess every day, plus the fact that I send them this kind of shit all the time, including this mess.
Jamaica will never be saved. Not unless 95% of the population is forced out.
And where will the ghetto folk go???
Jamaica has been (for the last 40 years) and will always be a stuffed toilet.
Not until there is a change for the better in the caliber of its residents.
But, therein lies the crux of the problem.
How do you get hipsters to move in and gentrify the place if there is rampant filth and danger on its streets?
Hmmmm.....isn't that the job of the local BID, etc. ?
maybe the trash came FROM the "Greater Jamaica Development Corp" Joe. there is nothing great or developed about that ghetto cesspool.
I Daneek Miller is a buffoon and a joke. When asked about a homeless shelter going in around a public library and a elementary school, he said "We'll work on it next time."
If you build all-inclusive buildings with gyms, screening rooms, patios, etc then hipsters will move in as long as there is subway access nearby. It happened in Brooklyn.
Yeah...try to oust Floyd Flake and his Allen Church empire. You gotta be joking!
South Jamaica will never be gentrified. That's the fly in your ointment of ever changing the image of Jamaica to a yuppie paradise.
Let's see if Greater Jamaica Development Corp improves any now that Carlisle Towery has retired after nearly fifty years of running it. (Heard he moved out of New York.)
