Ides of JULY - the Scofflaw Slob DOUBLES DOWN

It's simple.

The 19th Precinct's "community affairs" officer makes a call.  

OR... 

Sanitation drives by after 5pm and writes a summons.

OR?? ANY IDEAS???

It's about RESPECT for the neighborhood. 

It's about THE LAW 

Instead, this ugly dumpy scofflaw goes on and on and on.  

Now she's got TWO extra signs in violation of city law,  

One of them is plopped in front of her hovel at 435 east 75th.  

The other?  

Right on the corner of busy 1st and 75th, because there's a bar there and SHE wants to get drunken Yuppies to waste their money with HER instead of in the bar. The bar that does NOT put up their own illegal a-frame sign.  

Why is it that THEY don't? 

Why is it that the Deli across the street doesn't?  

And Symphony Cleaners doesn't?  

And Starbucks doesn't?  

Why should it be that a dumpy scofflaw slob can chain a sign up and get away with it when all the decent stores that could also put A-frames up on corners of 75th and 1st...DON'T????  

Do our politicians, who race around with volunteers this time of year DEMANDING signatures on ballot petitions, think that a scofflaw who chains A-frames every night after 5pm and sneaks them on weekends, is "not worth" a phone call? A summons that puts $100 or more into the city coffers?  

IS that your sign of APATHY, my politician friend?  

The 19th Precinct can't spare a minute for a phone call? Sanitation can't? This isn't a bum  that disappears into to the crowd, or a pickpocket that scoots out of jail the following morning. THIS woman sits her butt in a chair in front of her building, with two illegal signs...on 1st and in front of the building. She pays rent. She has a bank account. SHE IS NOT SOMEONE TO BE AFRAID OF.
