The council member asks about the frequency of litter cleanup by park attendants in specific parks in the 36th district.
- Parks are assigned service level agreements (SLAs) based on usage
- Heavily used parks have litter pickup 5-7 times per week
- Medium usage parks have litter pickup 3-5 times per week
- Low usage parks have litter pickup 1-3 times per week
- The deputy commissioner does not provide details on the SLAs for the named parks
- Park enforcement patrol (PEP) officers are deployed across boroughs, not designated to individual parks

So every site in the agency is assigned what's called the service level agreement in SLA.
4:35:59
Heavily used sites are maintained five to seven times a week.
4:36:02
Medium use sites are 3 to 5 times a week, minimally use sites are 1 to 3 times a week.
4:36:08
So I don't know how many of each of those types are in your district, but we could get you that information.

So I definitely would love to see some numbers on Herbert Von King Park, Brower Park, and Jackie Robinson playground, as well as Raymond Bush playground.
