During my fundraiser in #Maspeth, a huge fire broke out across the street. The fire started from folks living in an RV, trying to generate electricity. We cannot have streets filled with RV’s that people live in full time. The fire spread to the location of GoodFellas Diner,… pic.twitter.com/UrpJHrlDJQ

Back in March I only saw about 8 RVs, none were by the Goodfellas Diner. Looks like a bunch more trailers moved in when the weather got warmer. Can the City of Yes fix this?
A fireball from a parked RV sparked a fire that tore through an iconic Queens diner from the movie “Goodfellas” – and now one mayoral candidate is calling for a camper crackdown. The fire erupted at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at GoodFellas Diner in Maspeth with 60 firefighters eventually arriving to put out the flames, according to the FDNY.
“We were talking about all the RVs and debris in the garbage and the problems that come with this epidemic of RVs on the streets of the outer boroughs, and that’s when boom!,” Sliwa said. “We all came running out of the Clinton Hall, and we saw the truck exploded on fire and watched as the fire spread to the Goodfellas diner.”
The fire has reignited debate over illegal RVs in the outer boroughs neighborhoods like Maspeth, Red Hook, and Hunts Point, which have seen streets taken over by dilapidated campers, local outlets have reported. Sliwa blamed City Hall for the latest. “There’s no police response, no DOT response, nothing like this right here, you got campers parked on the lot of the Goodfellas Diner?! The Buildings Department should be out here asking what the hell is going on, but nothing,” he said.

Houses go on fire too. No more houses. They’re dangerous and an eyesore.
Curtis is always on the scene of the action in the city. He just happened to be at a fundraiser for his Mayoral run at Clinton Hall in Maspeth right across the street from the fire. He has dedicated most of his life to making our city safe and he's not afraid of speaking his mind, even took 5 bullets in the stomach by people who wanted to shut him up.
NYC is getting the exact govt they deserve.

BLUE cities are a cesspool.
That used to be called “The Maspeth Diner”. It was never too clean or too good, and they never capitalized off their 5 minutes of fame on the movie.
The fatigue is real...
Old 1989 or so Class C Winnibago. Those usually have gasoline 2 piston generator in the rear outside locker. They are likley storing the electric in a deep cycle lithium ion battery. To many cycles and BOOM when your charging with an old system desighned for GMA acid batterys.
Keep in mind the home improvenment gypsys are up from their shitholes in the south with all kinds of scams.
This year I just heard a new one from a guy in a cheap suite: "We are treating a yellowjacket problem job down the street and have "extra materials"
We can treat your property for 1/2 price.
I said: YEA RIGHT, you cant hook a driveway paving scam so now this. You dont license to even buy what you need for hornets, things like diaznonine dust, pyrethrins, Jasmolin II, so your gonna use water and mineral oil and tell me its a special pet safe, child safe "organinc treatment" right?
I know evactly what you are behind that cheap suite & clipboard and you got 10 seconds to GTF OUTTA HEAR you gypsy bastard!
I threatend to slug the guy with a basbal bat.
I cant stand these parasite gypsie criminals who pray on elderly and honest trusting people.

The woke right wing censorship continues.
Sometimes we need to tell the truth, no matter how hard it is to accept
We don't have a homeless problem; we have a mental health/drug problem.
My drug addicted uncle was offered help over and over again. He chose homelessness and drugs.
"Sliwa is also calling for tougher enforcement"
What tougher enforcement? There is NO enforcement what so ever.
Non exsistant, and forget anything out of that 104 retirment precent. Everytime a good cop wants to do something he or she must call it in on a cellphone and be told by some legal department "let it go" or face repromand. The city does not want certain cases generated.
The especially city does not care what goes on in the 104 pct district because it does not have enough democrat woke voters.
2-The black leaders running the city and woke Albany lawmakers do not like what people like Sliwa and Bob Holden stand for. In other words: "let them white people suffer or move"
You can bet most thos RVs are not regestered or have insurence because the owners KNOW they can get away with it. The police dont even verify the bogus license plates slapped on them. If cops call in or use the computer system for verification & tracing they get yelled at "What are you doing, LET IT GO and remember the problem does not exsist"
All one MAY GET is lip service from some 104 pct official bullshit artist telling people what they wanna hear however no actuall action will ever happen.
Go Curtis! Please win the mayoral election this year!
That diner has been closed for years. Probably an insurance job.
Are you implying that Curtis started the fire for publicity?
Hmmmm…
Did you hold your weekly KKK meeting there?
Yes he should go. Go to Nebraska.
The Woke fatigue gets deeper by the day.
Elections have consequences.
All thanks to you.
So, just because your uncle was addicted to drugs and "chose" homelessness, then everyone else is exactly the same as him?
Got it.
Yep get used to the squalor and crime - y’all abandoned any quality of life at the ballot box.
Have they thought of a reason to blame Trump yet?
Before it was Goodfella's it was called the Clinton Diner. Some years ago, they had a kitchen fire that closed them for a while. The Maspeth Diner was on 69th St. near Eliot Ave.
Get a Job when you get sober...
You deserve a nurse to wheel you around
Is that you Curtis?
So now we know where the KKK meeting are.
How can people completely deny reality?
Are you Soros-backed ?
NY turned into a real dump!
True story!
No joke!
I think we've found our next head of DOGE.
Still not as dangerous as the illegal invaders.
This would never happen if Trump were president.
Curtis is going to ban houses.
Sliwa's Guardian Angels are a private paramilitary racketeering
militia along the lines of Hitler's Gauleiters and mafia private

I luv -Joe . . . THE best commentator on this site!
It's not propaganda when it's the truth. Liberals need to learn that.
Woke Fatigue....
This Silwa character will do anything for publicity, even starting a fire or two.
Somebody gotta stop him before it's too late.
I stand behind President Trump and Curtis !
Yep MAGA
