Around Brooklyn: Cornegy, Adams remove graffiti from auto body shop
Cornegy, Adams remove graffiti from auto body shop
City Councilmember Robert Cornegy (D-Bed-Stuy-Crown Heights) and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams on Sunday joined Kevan Caleb, owner of A1 Auto Repair Service on Atlantic Avenue, to remove graffiti from the business’ exterior. In recent months, parts of Atlantic Avenue and other areas of the city have experienced a noticeable uptick in graffiti, which has heightened quality-of-life concerns for residents and merchants already suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic. “For many New Yorkers, the rise in graffiti brings to mind the bad old days of the 1970s, when crime was rampant throughout our city and we surrendered to disorder. But it’s more than just an eyesore; it affects local businesses and residents,” said Adams.
