Ghost cars, I know it was a problem years ago.
1:37:41
We have addressed the issue, but we still have an issue with some of these ghost cars or vehicles, at least in my district, that do not have license plates.
1:37:50
With the prior commissioner, I worked with a director with sanitation.
1:37:55
You had an NYPD enforcement division.
1:37:57
Does that division still exist?
Javier Lojan
1:37:59
Yeah.
1:37:59
So we have the personnel assigned to this and they report up to us every day with their operation.
1:38:07
Okay.
1:38:07
So that is something that we still have in place.
