THE NEW PEST IN TOWN - a phony Psychic selling herself on the sidewalk

UPDATE: The "Psychic" is no longer loitering on 78th and 1st and has not chained her sign to public property in front of her building.

Don't you need a LICENSE to sell on the street? 
Here's a brazen "psychic" sitting in a chair to annoy everyone walking up or down 1st Avenue: 

What nerve. Just like that: I'm doing a cash business on the sidewalk. Like any other whore.

Around the corner on 78th, there's her sign chained up on the sidewalk. 

The walk-up building has a STORE FOR RENT sign, which will be up forever, as nobody will want to rent a place that has a palm-reader bunco artist chaining up a sign in front and/or sitting on the sidewalk of one of the LAST decent neighborhoods in Manhattan. 

PS, it looks like the building next door is on its way to being condemned. 

Too bad there are plenty of crappy walk-up apartments where low-rent gypsy con artists dwell. Vigilance is needed as they paste signs to phone kiosks, pester people on the street, and chain those A-frames if they think they can get away with it. 

As to the "elected officials" of the Upper East Side if they can add an extra teeter-totter to a playground, or have a drag queen do a reading of fairy tales for pre-school kids (that would be Ben Kallos -- yes he did that), and take 10 minutes to wave to people at a neighborhood tenants meeting and leave, they can spend a minute or two on QUALITY OF LIFE. 

This includes making sure laws are on the books to empower Sanitation or the 19th Precinct to take action, and make sure they don't shirk with "we didn't see a problem" or "that's not a priority because De Blasio is the mayor."
