Commissioner Lojan discusses DSNY's efforts to remove abandoned and ghost vehicles from city streets.

  • DSNY is involved in interagency work to remove abandoned and ghost vehicles
  • Tens of thousands of abandoned vehicles have been removed from the streets
  • Since September of the previous year, over 10,000 ghost cars have been removed
  • These unlicensed vehicles not only take up public space but are also untraceable if used in crimes
  • Removing these vehicles contributes to improving the overall appearance and safety of neighborhoods

These unlicensed vehicles not only steal public space and toll dolls, but aren't traceable if used in crimes.

I assure you we do because it's our neighborhood too.
